See these two crazy boys? These boys are not only crazy they are also very funny. Turns out that they are best friends and probably the two coolest cats in all of the world. If you don't believe it, let me offer some proof.
Item #1
They say a "brother's prayer" every night. Don't ask me where and when it all started but the other night Henry reminded Max it was his turn to say the "brother's prayer". Turns out they do it every night right before their personal ones.
Item #2
They have the quintessential big brother/little brother relationship in the bag.
Observe
(While lying in bed one night ,as heard by D. Bake)
Henry-sharing all of his extensive knowledge about dragons
Max-"gee Henry you sure do know a lot about dragons, you are so smart"
Henry-"yeah, Iam. I probably know more than Mom and Dad."
Item #3
They get up every morning and get themselves ready for school. On the days that I am feeding Millie or just a lazy bones they help each other get cereal. Henry is in charge of the bowls and pouring the milk and Max pours the cereal and gets the spoons.
Item #4
When they were the "Special" students in their seperate classes they each listed the other as their best friend.
Item#5
They can play together for hours. Making up games, playing outside on the trampoline, digging for treasure. Sometimes I feel they are raising each other.
Item #6
They forgive each other pretty quick. After all the tattling, neck choking, accidental karate kicks to the head, yelling, and screaming they still stick up for each other. They stand together against all foes ie. the bus stop kids, the neighborhood bullies, the strangers and often times their parents.
Item # 7
After years of being raised by a single mom they fell in love with Dave just like I did. They have embraced him as their dad and have been willing to share me with him, in fact they have crossed over to the dark side and mostly prefer him.
Item #8
They both fell in love with their sister on site. A jealous moment hasn't happened yet, even though she bogarts the attention of everyone, especially their mother and their grandparents. They are so sweet and careful with her and get such a kick out of making her giggle. I can't wait to see how she fits into the mix as they all get older. Dang, I like these peeps A LOT.
Told you they were cool cats.
The last eight or so blogs have been all-boy and so here is a little bit of girlie for all of you out there who have been wondering if I had forgotten that I had a baby girl. Nope. She is going to be eight months tomorrow so I figure I better give an update on what has been happening with her. She is still a major mommy's girl. It doesn't seem to be letting up. I love it. It does make daddy and the grandparents a tad jealous but she will not always be this way so they are going to just have to deal. She waves good-bye and says what we are guessing is hi. She claps her hands(palm on top of hand) and says yah. She shakes her head but we are not sure if it means no or if she does it as a sign of approval. She does this funny little thing where she puts her chin on her chest when she is bugged or upset. She has a myriad of giggles from a high-pitched shriek to a deep dark belly laugh. She is cuddly. She loves food especially avocadoes, bananas, and potatoes. She still jabbers all of the time. She loves baby dolls and her brothers. She could roll to New York if there was nothing in her way. She wakes up every morning with her covers tucked neatly under her chin as if she has not moved an inch. She does belly-ups. Bath time is the right time for her. She is not afraid to show her emotions. She is starting to bounce and dance to any beat even when I sing to her. She loves to dance with me. She is irresistable.
