Boys! Boys! Boys!
Yes, that is what my day is filled with and I love it (at least most of the time). These brothers love each other so much. They are very protective of one another and they play so well. They rarely fight (I will keep my fingers crossed) and if one of them isn't around they get concerned. Rex and Eli get so excited when Asa wakes up in the morning. It is so fun to watch them interact with each other. Last night I was folding clothes in the boys room and I got out the fisher price farm with all the animals. Asa was playing with the animals and I told Eli to come help him make all the sounds on the farm. So he came in and took Asa's hand to touch all of the buttons to make the noises and he would declare, "Asa did it, mommy!" Then Rex came in and they were all playing together. It just melted my heart. I can't believe Asa is to the age where he can actually play around the boys. So cute.
The other night at FHE we asked Rex if he wanted to be able to play with Eli forever. We had to laugh when he said, "No, sometimes we have to sit down and eat our dinner." You can obviously tell what we have had to deal with lately. They will not sit down for dinner and eat in one sitting. Day after day we say, "Come sit down and eat your dinner..." I swear we need to duct tape them to their seats or something. Does anyone else have this problem of meals on wheels? We have tried all the tricks. I guess they just can't get enough playing done in one day that sitting down to eat is a waste of their time. But somehow, miraculously on pizza or hot dog night they know how to sit down and eat everything and even ask for seconds. Go figure :)
It makes me so proud to see my boys playing soccer :) It has actually been fun to play with them on the sunny days. I taught Rex how to drop kick and he loves to do that. But they love to play pass and dribble. I need to get some of those little soccer nets. Of course, Bob thinks soccer is a girl sport so I better enjoy them playing it while I can before their dad brainwashes them. So, did you notice his tongue sticking out again? Too funny.
Boys! Boys! Boys!
Asa has learned how to sit up over the last few weeks and he loves it! It brings a whole new dimension to his playing abilities. I just can't believe he is already at the age he can do this. Personally, I like when babies get around 6 months because they really start to become fun. Their personality comes out and they are really playful. He is just a happy boy.
I knew he would like his exersaucer! I am still so happy that I found it on such a good sale. Now that he has more balance he really has started to enjoy playing in it. Like all other babies he really enjoys the toys that make the sounds. It makes for a noisy day, but who can resist that smile? Not me!
I posted a picture earlier of Eli helping me vaccum and now here he is helping his dad put up the baby's crib. He loves to help. He always comes up to say, "help you, help you." Hopefully it stays that way :) Well, we are starting the slow transition of moving the baby into his own room. He has been sleeping in our room for the last 6 months, so we are putting him in his crib for naps and the first part of the night. He has been ok with it, so hopefully it won't be long before he is sleeping through the night. Wishful thinking?
