Wednesday Funny

Gabby is now eating at her Dora Table – she doesn’t want to sit in her booster chair anymore. However, the rule is that if she gets out of her chair before she’s done then she has to go back and sit in her booster chair. Well, last night she got up and so we put her in her high chair and of course she freaked out. When I asked her why she wouldn’t sit in her chair she said: “because I need a seat belt”.

Laughter fills the soul :)

Moments...

In the past couple of months the bond between the kids has really developed into a true sibling relationship.  They are both very in-tune and aware of where the other one is or what they're doing and they get very concerned if they don't know where the other is.  If they are apart, the majority of the time is spent answering:

Gabby:  Where's Drakey at?  What's Drakey doing?  Is Drakey ok?  I will make Drakey better....etc.
Drake:  Gabba?  Where Gabba?  Need Gabba?

Of course once they realize where the other is it's generally accompanied by the stealing of a toy or occassional slap on the back :)   But, none the less they are really starting to play together and become friends.  The past two years have been challenging to say the least, but these "moments" of witnessing their love for eachother certainly make it all worth it.

Oh, and for those of you who were aware of our recent basement finishing - the above room is the kids new playroom!  As you can see they've exercised their right to "christen" it by playing with every toy possible!

Snapshot....

Here's a quick snapshot into our evening tonight as we were putting Gabby to bed....

[History] I ran down to the playroom to get Gabby's favorite books and the video monitor.  I could hear....

Brandon:  Ok, Gabs - when Mommy gets up here you say: Thank You - I love you Mommy.
Gabby: Ok Daddy - I say Thank You, Love you Mama
Brandon: Yes, that's perfect.  Let's try it again
Gabby: Thank You, Love you Mama
Brandon: Gabby - that's perfect.

[I enter the room]
Megan: Hi Gabs!  Ready to read books?
Brandon: Gabby, what were you going to say to Mommy....?
[Long Pause while she thinks really hard]
Gabby: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!

Love.Her.
