So these are my two "crazy" bears, playing together outdoors. And there wasn't any fighting or pushing, they were just having a blast. Clara was quite pleased they were playing a "game" together - I think it might be the first time they have really been able to do that!
I'm not sure you can see it, but John Michael has a litltle plastic dog in his hand. (And don't you just love his "necklace?" That's Gracie's - it's actually the leftover chain from our ceiling fan pull and she's turned it into a necklace & just loves to wear it - just love that, right?).
So here is how the game starts - you race to climb into the slide (clearly Clara goes over the top and JM goes the more traditional route).
Step 2 - "Drop the Dog" (that's the game title, I think). JM is in charge of positioning the little fellow over one of the little holes in the top surface of the slide and letting him plummet to the ground below.
See - he's just about to drop it. And I didn't get a good picture of the next step - but I think it's called shriek, scramble and search. And as they race to get down off the slide, Clara goes over the top, JM propels himself off the platform over the ladder (why would you want to actually go down the slide???) and they run to go underneath and find the plastic dog. Over and over and over. Apparently, it's a blast to play. Unfortunately, they haven't played it again since that day becasue the poor little puppy never made it inside. Hopefully, it didn't make it into Coco's belly ...
