What keeps a two-year-old occupied?

Along with spending time outdoors, Fisher found plenty to do inside while we were in Reno. Nothing is safe from a rambunctious two year old...

He still loves the computer and we eventually had to turn them off throughout the day so that he wouldn't do any permanent damage.


Lately he has been very independent and tries to dress himself. It is so hard for me to be patient with him while he learns to do this, especially when we are in a hurry. This is Fisher attempting to put his sock on all by himself.


Even though we were not at home we expected Fisher to fulfill his normal chores which included vacuuming the entire house. Work then play! :)


He reorganized any pillow and blanket he would get his hands on...


When it came time to take down the Christmas decorations, Fisher was a wonderful help.


He even decided to pack himself up so that we could have a quiet evening.


Many hours were spent going up and down the stairs.

A lot of prank phone calls were made.


While Fisher was playing, we spent a lot of time playing cards with Grandpa and occasionally with Grandma. She preferred two-year-old duty.


My other cute boy chillin' on the couch.


Fisher had fun playing Lego's with Grandpa.


He attempted jumping into a few card games with us.


Fisher gave Grandpa an audience for all of Grandpa's movies, pictures and music on his computer.


Fisher loved sitting at the bar stool like a big boy.


Eating a banana is more fun when you have someone to do it with.

Fisher spent a lot of time playing with Grandma in their "fort" under the table.
Welcome to their world...
***
After we spent about two weeks straight with both of our families and Fisher having non-stop attention from people other than his mom and dad, it has been a transition having it back to being just me and Fisher every day while Todd is at school. I think we are finally getting back to the normal routine of our lives.

Looks like grandma and grandpa had a blast with their little Fisher:) I love the picture with him and the vaccuum. It looks so big next to him! But it doesn't look like the size of the vaccuum would stop him:) Adorable!

Meagan,
That was a hilarious post. The pictures to go along with the commentary was hilarious. The pictures of fisher with your mom are great! He seems so much older than he is. I guess he is just way smart huh? That is great!

Getting 'back to normal' is probably one of the harder parts of the vacation. Such cute pictures and what a nice fort!

I love your blog posts. Your humor kills me. Aren't grandparents great?? But usually by the end of the trip they are always so worn out from my kids. They always say being a grandparent is better than a parent, because at the end of the day, they go home. :)
