Help a Brother Out
If D-man walks for Mr. J before me I admit it. I’m going to be a little jealous, as in reminding D-man his whole life how he walked for Mr. J but I am the one who carried him in my womb & birthed him. ME & it took like 3 weeks of labor to have him. That’s right THREE WEEKS, THREE– I mean it FELT like 3 weeks even if it only a few hours. Hours become weeks when you are laboring, WEEKS I TELL YA!! WEEKS!! But anyway all mothering guilt trips aside, Mr. J has been trying to help D-man get his land legs everyday. He can’t wait to have D-man take his first steps & he is hoping that when D-man does walk it will be with him. Although I’m wondering if Mr. J has thought through this plan, because once D-man is standing & walking on his own 2 feet you know that he will want to get into EVERYTHING that is Mr. J’s. He’ll be like a flash of toddler lightening.

Learning to Read
Mamacita and Mr G. are both learning to read. Mr. G is learning to recognize words. While Mamacita is in the earlier stages of “reading” a book, meaning she looks at the pictures & tries to tell a story based on the pictures in the book. She’s trying to understand the underlying meanings to words, & it’s darn cute. Especially when her stories involve dialogue. “Oh, what do we have here? A sugar bug? Better get the bug spray.” Let’s hope she realizes sugar bugs don’t require actual bug spray before she goes on to medical school–what am I pushing? Just because she reads books on the dentist and Dora going to the doctor doesn’t mean she’s going to medical school? Well, I think it just might.
Reason 987: Why I Love Him
Catching a moment with D-man & Hubby. Looks like something is about to happen.
Yep, it happened. Hubby went in for the tickle. D-man is so excited that you can see the drool. Little ones can pull off the drool, adults not so much. And I’ve gotta admit I love watching Hubby play with the kids. He is a big kid at heart.
