The boys are in their room, and they're supposed to be falling asleep. Instead all I hear is hysterical laughter. Hysterical baby laughter and squeals mixed with the giggling of a toddler. Every minute or two Anthony yells out... "Mommy! Baby Luke funny!!" And ... "Goodnight, baby Luke!" The goodnight announcement is then followed by more giggles from Luke, and laughs from Anthony. Ian and I are laughing at them laughing. hahaha! I just love how they are interacting more and more. Brotherly bonding. Becoming a little team. Now GO TO BED! :P
So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened: "Where are you?" "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about." "What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!" "Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now." "Ugh , well now dinner is cold" "You guys can eat without me if you want" "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!" "Ok, so what do you want to do?" "What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!" *I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.* "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR...
Love it!! I think this is when my 2 big boys bond the most. They fight and pick at each other all day long then lay in bed at night talking about their day and making all kinds of plans for tomorrow. I love listening to the quietly talk and allow it. It's when they get too loud or won't stay in bed that I play mean mommy. Ellie and Sam do this some but not like the boys. I feel bad for Ellie knowing that in a couple of more years she'll be alone in her room while the 3 boys party next door.
