Playing with the boys
9 June 08
We’ve had some good times lately with a mirror family. The Thorpes have two boys almost exactly the two ages of our two girls. (Oops, we do have another, don’t we?!)
When Kerrie came over with Alex and Damien, we spent the morning collecting pine cones, stomping in puddles, eating popcorn and playing, playing, playing!
Kerrie spent a number of years as a nanny in the U.S., so we share a nostalgia for certain American foods and chat about the differences we’ve noticed between American and Australian cultures.
Aïcha and Brioni parked the boys in front of the mirror and got out their hairdressing equipment. It was fun to see their imaginative interaction this morning. (Notice how Aïcha is using a corn-fork as a hairdressing tool.)
While Alex was happy to sit still, Brioni had a bit of trouble convincing her client that she was his best option. In the end, she resorted to brute force to make Damien stay put.
Love your blog, Lauren. All the pictures are fantastic. I’d love to hear more about the differences between American and Australian culture and your favorite American foods – I seem to remember something about Butterfingers?
