Just This and That

 

Sometimes the boys will still snuggle with their grandmama …

Sometime we will completely take away his bottle, but for now it is the only way he’ll drink any milk, so he gets to keep it.  Usually only while sitting in his high chair or rocking on a parents’ lap before bed … not while sitting in laundry baskets!

And definitely not usually when playing with potato heads …

Sometimes you have to take lots of pictures of a really old chair before you get rid of it because your oldest son loves the chair so much.

Sometimes the cats are insistent about sitting on your lap … even when you don’t really want them to.  So you smile and take a picture.

Sometimes the momma thinks it is a great idea to let the littles create with stamps and ink pads.  Sometimes one of those littles doesn’t quite understand not putting his arm on the ink pad … over and over and over …

Sometimes the neighbors get a new puppy that is so adorable you must take multiple field trips over to visit her.

Sometimes your shoelaces come undone and someone steps on those shoelaces as you are climbing the steps on the bus and you get a groovy looking wound because of it.

Sometimes you get to try out your brother’s new roller blades but your dad makes you stay on the grass so you won’t hurt yourself.  You smile anyway.

Sometimes you steal other people’s water bottles (he does this all the time, actually).   And sometimes you get to be dressed adorably while you do it.

Sometimes you just need to sit on a hose crank or in the dirt.

Sometimes a little brother will come and copy everything you do … even if that includes laying on random big cardboard boxes.

Sometimes you create with magnets and are so pleased with yourself that you beg for a picture – so Momma can put it on the blog!
