Action Figures: Evan and Hunter

In this 2 minute video, you see and hear
the joy of Evan's spontaneous laughter.
He and Grandpa have devised a little game
of "swinging kickball."  It'll make you smile.

Hunter traipses off (rambles, tramps, wanders)
and I follow with the camera.  He's headed
toward the busy road.  He identifies the sounds
of birds (bwa?) and then of a motorcycle (cah-cah?). 
 He wonders if there will be more motorcycles. He
 throws a cute mini-tantrum when he wants to keep 
going toward the road and  I head him off.  But
he is satisfied just to detour to the front gate.


Hunter can be very methodical in his play.
First he plays with some Fisher-Price little people,
emulating sister Bri.  He discards them when they're
 no longer entertaining.Then with "baw" (ball),
he lets me know he wants the little football
 player who kicks field goals.
Note how he tells me exactly what to get
down, and precisely when to put each item
BACK.  BACK.  BACK.

These young men are every bit as fun as
their sisters Claire and Brianna.  All four
are action figures whose next escapades are
entirely unpredictable. We like it that way.
