The Little Things

I was thinking this weekend how the little things make it all worth while. Caleb is at a challenging stage and Luke is wanting to nurse often, and all of this leaves me tired a lot of the time. However, there are so many precious moments I treasure.

When Luke was a few weeks old I was holding him while he was crying and his head was near my lips. Caleb suggested that maybe Luke was crying because he thought I was going to eat his hair. Too funny! - Friday night we got home and I was trying to get cereal ready for Luke in an unsuccessful attempt to help him sleep through the night. While I was preparing the cereal Caleb started entertaining Luke with a game of peek-a-boo. All of a sudden I hear the sweetest sound in the world - Caleb making Luke laugh for the first time. I went out to the van to get the video camera and was still able to get a couple minutes on video of Luke cracking up over Caleb. This was Luke's 4 month birthday so it was fun to mark it with his first laugh and first cereal, along with the first time he ever had a blow out diaper on Mommy. Unfortunately for Aunt Peg, Luke's first blow out was with her on her last visit...sorry Aunt Peg! - This weekend Caleb told Jeff he wanted Daddy to build him a tree house. When Jeff said he didn't have any trees to make a tree house Caleb suggested that he had a pair of scissors he could use to cut down trees. - Yesterday I was getting Caleb ready for Sunday School. I reached in his underwear drawer and felt a couple underwear were soaking wet. I was talking out loud to myself trying to figure out what happened, and then Caleb told me that the day before when he soaked through his diaper at nap time that he had used the underwear in an attempt to clean his bed. Gross, I know, but after I confirmed that was the only thing Caleb used for clean up then I told Caleb how good it was that he tried to clean up the mess and that next time he could just tell Mommy and Daddy so we could help. It is interesting to get a glimpse of how a young mind works. - Caleb overheard me talking to my mom on the phone this weekend saying that we could all share one hotel room next weekend when we meet my parents. When I got off the phone Caleb expressed his concern that all of us could not sleep in the same bed because we can't sleep with Granna and Granpa on top of Mommy and Daddy in one bed.

There are so many funny things and the sad thing is that I am too tired to remember most of them! I am going to start documenting the comments so I can look back and smile at my sweet and funny boys.
