2 under 2

Today marks day 5 of 10 with 2 kids under age 2. My pastor's wife is on vacation, so I'm babysitting the little guy B who she normally watches 4 days a week. Tripp and I both saw great potential in this arrangement, of which David has most benefited! We also appreciated the blessing of extra income and 'practice' with two kids. One week down, and I would confirm, yes, this has been good practice! I just wish baby #2 was coming into the word on the same developmental level and sleep schedule as David.

This is Day 1 of sharing a breakfast platter of pancakes
with yogurt to dip - BIG HIT!

To wrap up the highlights of last week, I give you...

2 UNDER 2 GREATEST HITS

1. David and B eat like college students
(this is an ENORMOUS leap from David's 'throw-it' reaction to most foods, we're eating green stuff now people!)

2. David and B speak baby lingo so well, David will call out to B from the changing table and B will respond by coming over and seeing what's up

3. David and B have trained Mom to wake up early and keep them on a good nap schedule

4. David is a little embarrassed about his lay-down-on-the-floor-and-kick-feet-tantrums in front of B, so he's learning how to manage his emotions a little better

5. David has learned 'No' but thankfully neither kid feels that's something you can say to a serious Mommy

We ventured to the park and the boys shared a
snack of cinnamon apples. Last week, David
felt that cinnamon apples were for the birds.

It has truly been an entertaining time, so I'll do my best to document highlights from the remaining 6 days!
