I Heart Squirrels

Walking through the neighborhood park, W and I saw a squirrel playing in a bunch of leaves. "Did you see that Squirrel dad?" he exclaimed pointing to the fluff ball of excitement rustling in a furry of action. "Oh dad I love that squirrel!" I asked him why he loved the squirrel and got a rather matter of fact answer. "Because he's so cute."

crack.....

The other night we were trying to take some photos of Wesley and trying to get a good smile out of him. I kept saying what my mom always said to me when I was little "Dont smile, your face is going to crack." I said that to Wesley hoping to get a good smile from him. He gives me this puzzled look and turns his body to point his back at me, points his finger to his booty and says "But Mommy it already cracked!" I had to laugh about that one!

Breaking the routine....

The other night Wesley woke up crying and though it doesnt happen much, usually he calms stops in a few seconds but he continued to cry. I got out of bed and went in there to see what was wrong with him. His nose ended up being a little stuffed up and it was making it hard for him to breath. I ended up rubbing him back for a minute and then Paxton started crying to eat. Wesley was not ready for me to leave yet so David brought Pax into me and Wes. He then went and got everyone a drink and some pretzels. You would have thought David had brought him chocolate cake. He was so excited to be able to be up and to have everyone in the room. We all just chilled on his bed for a while and had a great time talking and laughing. Lesson learned- Sometimes routines and schedules broken makes for some great unplanned family time!
