Yesterday

Yesterday was pretty sweet. First of all, it rained, which is a rare occurance at our house. Margaret Mary was so happy to play in it. Here she is singing her raindrops song, where she imitates raindrops falling to the ground. She is actually starting to sing the words of the songs with me, instead of just her own version of the song. It maks me realize how big she is getting. (Speaking of singing, today is the first day she danced at storytime. It was pretty awesome seeing her come out of her shell. Durring one of the stories, the librarian said "hooray!" and MM, who knows that word from storytime with her papa, threw both hands up in the air and yelled "Hooray!" It was too cute.)


Second, Jason had to work late and so I was by myself with the kids at the hardest time of the day. Margaret Mary was being really cuddly and sweet and was asking to be held. Henry, on the other hand, was melting down and was needing to be held and nursed. What is hard about having two under two is that the first child is asked to grow up a lot faster than normal. She is still a baby and many times has to have her requests to be held denied. Last night she was asking so sweetly that I couldn't deny her. I put Henry in my mya wrap on the front, and her in the ergo on my back. It actually wasn't that hard and both the kids were happy. I took the following pic to show Jason and can't believe how awesome Henry looks in it. He is such a goofball.


Third, when Jason got home Margaret Mary wanted to cuddle with him all night. They sat outside on the front porch watching the rain and talking. Margaret Mary told Jason about her day "park fun friends excited" and just sat on his lap playing with his earlobes (a weird thing she does). Once we had put the kids down for the night Jason told me with tears in his eyes, "I hope I can remember this night forever." I love how these two love eachother.
