Funny & Sweet Things From My Week

Thursday morning, the kids wanted to do a long run (they are in training for the OKC Memorial Run) and they asked me to come over for about an hour and then drop the boys off at Mimi's house. When I arrive, Casen tells me he wants me to see his new bed. I ask him, "You got a new bed?" "When?" I am thinking. He pulls back his covers and shows me his "Cars" sheets. I am thinking that he had them on his bed about a week and a half ago, but I go with it. "Do you like my new bed, Immie?" he asks. I tell him that I love his "Car" sheets and his bed. I ask him if the car sheets make him go to sleep really, really FAST? He gives me a puzzled look and quickly changes the subject by asking if we are going on the Fast Road to MiMi's house.

I was with the boys at their house and we were getting ready to play Hide n Seek. I start counting and am told, "No, No! We all hide." I find myself crammed into Liam's closet with both boys and am being told, "Shhh! We wait for Mommy and Daddy to find us." I am thinking it is a long time until 5:30 this evening! Finally, I convince Casen that someone needs to be the seeker and look for those hiding. He tells me he will hide and I can look. Then when I call out, "Ready or Not, Here I come!" He calls back, "I'm in my closet, Immie!!" He maybe a little unclear on the rules of Hide and Seek but I love playing it with the little man!

Bright and early -Wednesday morning Liam awakens me with a cry. I go and pick him up from his pack and play and immediately he stops crying, smiles and lays his head on my shoulder, then he pats my back. We have about an hour or so to ourselves: he takes a bottle, jabbers to me and lets me snuggle with him on the couch. Sure beats starting my day with a cup of decaf.

I Love my Sweet Boys!
