bro-sis

I discovered yesterday that I could prop Lydia up between the couch cushions and she would stay for about 30 seconds. I think she likes the different viewpoint of the living room. Micah decided to crawl up next to her and on request, even hold her hand! A kodak moment not to be missed.

 

This was earlier in the day when Micah thought he would calm (the sleeping) Lydia with her two loveys.

Today I came back in the room to discover him trying to shove a pacifier in her mouth (even though she wasn't crying). He will be a big help as soon as we teach him which moments he needs to be helpful. :)

fun times

Micah has decided that hiding under blankets, birds, & whatever else he can find is way fun...especially if he can convince others to do it too. It never translates into naptime though. :(

bad parenting??

We sometimes have to make tough choices as parents... what to let our kids drink...  what to let them wear... who to let them play with... enough said. --

Mother's Day

How delightful!  This Mom's day, I was treated to home cooked breakfast...spiced by Micah. And a lovely opportunity to sleep in! Hooray!

 Grandma V got a pancake with her name on it for dinner. :) Such skill from her daughter.

getting to know you

 Micah is interacting more and more with his little sister. He makes sure she is included in prayer time at dinner as well as night kisses before bed. If she is crying, he looks at me and says, "uh oh" or he brings her one of her loveys to snuggle. If I ask him to get the ergo or diapers for her when we go out, he knows right where to go. Such a great helper! Maybe we'll get to keep her after all. :)

loveys

 Sleep dog has now also added "hat" to his list of many tricks.

Sleep elephant (?) is getting introduced. We'll need a shorter name for this one I think. Pinky? We'll see what emerges.

The boys went to get their hairs cut today.  Moo always does better with a little dvd action. 

Tada!
