We have a NEW baby and with that,

some different reactions from our little guy. At first Big Boy A was very apprehensive. Now he wants to be all involved. In, fact, he has gotten quite cuddly with us an wants to be right where Baby T is. I was teaching him how to shush the baby when she cries and so while watching a little Baby Einstein clip, he sat next to us and patted her on the head. He's been climbing all over her. (I think she's not a big fan of this. :-) ) and trying to "help her" find her food source every 5 seconds. It's a little exhausting but super sweet.

Last night, He grabbed my hand and hers and said "PRAY." He wanted us all to pray together. Oh, my word, IT WAS SO SWEET! So we all prayed together.

Later on, she started fussing. So tenderly, he reached over and started patting her head. "No, baby...PLEASE no baby, PLEASE NO!," He said. Precious moments!

We always let Baby A take a toy or a book to bed with him at night. It gives him something to do while he is drifting off to sleep. Well I was putting him Night-Nights and he was having a meltdown about going to bed. I tried to distract him by helping him choose a toy. What I didn't expect was that he would pick ME as the toy. "Mommy - down"... "Mommy, Mommy, Down" His choice was me. It was a such a sweet and adorable and a bit manipulative ploy. 

May, we always have a close bond! 

Like Mother, Like Son 5-7-14

I don't like bugs! Well, that's plain and simple and apparently I have passed that on to Baby A. Whenever we see a bug, I get the broom out of the closet and beat it to death. Ok, so now enter Avery...

I was sweeping the floor yesterday and Avery asked to help. "Momma, Sweep, Sweep?" I gave him the broom and started vacuuming the rugs. A little while later, I heard this horrible boom in his play room. I went to check on him and he had the broom up in the air like a bat, beating the glass door. There was a bug on the outside of the door and he was saying "Bug, Yuck Yuck...yuck yuck, Bug!" while trying to beat it to death. :-)

Precious boy!
