Pitter Patter

One of my favorite sounds of this summer has been the pitter patter of Avery and Wyatt's feet. It is such a fun sound as they pitter and patter around and around our house. We have an ideal layout which allows them to run around the central hub of the stairs through the living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. They will run fast, then the pitter patter stops and you wonder what's going on in the other room out of sight, then their will be giggles and more pitter patter as they round the corner with big smiles. More often than not the pitter patter stops and you hear nothing for quite some time. At that point I swiftly head to the other room to find out what's going on. Among other things, I have found Wyatt climbing the dining room chairs making his way to the table; Avery and or Wyatt climbing in and out of the empty desk cabinet that Morgan has been building (it's been sitting in our living room just waiting for me to paint it and has become quite the play toy); and individually or as a team playing in the kitties room (yes, in the litter or food - yuk!). The pitter patter is an especially fun sound when I decide to chase them in my flip flops - Avery especially loves for me to chase her and boy does she giggle when she hears the fast and loud flip flop of my feet. I guess it's my adult pitter patter!

Here's to the pitter patter of little feet.
