A Sunny Start to Holy Week

What a beautiful day we enjoyed today! M and I spent time in the morning raking together. For M that means taking a baby rake we own and placing it in the pile of leaves, lifting it in the air, and scattering them all around. He's such a good helper. Later while he napped, I continued my leaf quest as baby T sat in the shade and played with toys (and ate a little grass!) He was so sweet and at ease. Wish I had snapped a picture.

Later I caught M attempting to feed T a goldfish cracker. It was halfway in T's mouth when it dropped and he grabbed it on the floor. Mom then stepped in and stopped the charade... M was not only freely sharing food, but also his trains, which was so great to see. We have a far way to go with him, but as long as I'm seeing positive progression, I'm pleased. He is also mimicking our two and three-word phrases now! His favorite song lately is "I'm a Little Teapot" where he sings "pour me out" at the end. It just melts me.

One final note--T got his other bottom tooth yesterday! Along with it came a second ear infection, confirmed today at the doc's. There has been at least one child on antibiotics in G-Ville over the past month and a half! I'm sick of measuring and administering drugs... Spring and summer, save us!

Hope this finds you all basking in the sun (and Son) at the start of this blessed Holy Week.
