Another Week

So, T is home!! This is why I am able to post tonight and still get a bit of sleep. 

I tried to tackle fewer projects this week and G stopped asking to eat each hour. Now it's more like every 2 hours or so, with an occasional insistence on food after about 90 minutes. 

B threw a tantrum both mornings before going to school. Hard on me, especially when he's so happy when I pick him up a few hours later. I think he thinks G and I are having some kind of party in his absence. Oh well. I hope it improves soon.

Strangers keep approaching us and telling us how Gorgeous G is. I always agree, since they aren't my genes, so it doesn't feel so much like bragging. I forgot how much babies really are magnets for strangers. Most are kind enough to acknowledge B's beautiful face, too. Yes, that may be bragging, but since no one thinks he looks like me, maybe not?? 

Today, as B woke from his nap, G and I curled up with him in his bed. He'd actually been dozing on the couch, but G's squeals were interrupting his beauty sleep, so he chose to go back to his room. After a few minutes, we joined him and I snapped these great photos. He gave her his big "bappy" (blanket) to cuddle with, then grabbed her hand. So sweet. 

Tomorrow we celebrate the big 3 for B!!! His teachers really want us to start working harder on potty training. I don't think I am ready and know it won't work if I am not 100% committed to the concept. Since every time I mention the concept to him he protests, I don't think it is time yet.  However, we are now fast approaching the concept of comfort vs. ability. He can do it. He doesn't want to do it and I can't force him without potential serious repercussions (so I am told).  I guess I just need to prepare for lots of extra laundry over the next few months (though hopefully he'll get it faster than that).
