Crazy Boys

Every day I realize, more and more, what a ride I am in for with these two boys. There is constant craziness when they are together, which is a result of Ivan being a little kid in a big kid body. But sometimes, it is just so dang cute that I can't help but love it! Ivan loves basketball, and as a result of that, Tyson probably has about 5 basketballs of his own. But, he usually prefers Ivan's over his own. Ivan always spins the basketball on his finger (which is impossible for me do) and Tyson just LOVES it! Every time Ivan starts doing it, he runs over and sticks out his little finger to do it himself. It is just the cutest thing!
Another result of Ivan loving basketball is Tyson loving it too. Grandma Tidwell came down a few weeks ago and we had tons of fun seeing her. She got Tyson his birthday gift, which was a Little Tikes basketball hoop. I don't know who was more excited, Ivan or Tyson. When we first played with it, Tyson would not shoot the ball. He screamed when we put him up to the hoop because he didn't want to let go of the ball. Apparently it was going to disappear into the white void called the net. Hilarious. But, he has realized the net won't eat the ball and stands by the hoop with the ball in his hands until we pick him up and help him shoot. He then proceeds to clap for himself before picking the ball up again. I am pretty sure these 2 boys could play all day long if they had the choice. Oh man, I just love these boys!

He just couldn't let go.
The beloved ball.
