Commentary by H

H is an observer. H gives running commentary on life, as it happens. 'Momma's going upstairs!' 'I'm going potty. I needa new pullup. My pullup is of Cars.' Etc. etc. The other day, E requested a class of water. 'Momma's getting E a glass of water!' H observes. I handed E his water. He wrenched it out of my hand, and noisily gulped it down. Finishing with a satisfied 'Ahh.' H, quietly watching, shouts out with wonder and excitement, 'E's a MAN!' E looks at him and grins. Ahh, boys.

an E update

Little E is doing well. He continues to love to eat, immitate H, be outside, and laugh. In fact, E has one of the best belly laughs imaginable. He has a great sense of comic timing and gets a lot of amusement out of physical comedy. He laughs at odd noises, he particularly finds any sort of 'toot' (expulsion of gas) highly amusing. If you think you can get away with a quiet little toot without getting called out on it, think again... E will let loose a giant giggle if he hears anything remotely like a fart.

spring has sprung

Now, that is finally nice, the boys have been spending lots of time outside. A few months ago, H became proficient at pedaling. He likes to ride his 'motorcycle' aka his big wheel. So do B and E... as I think I've mentioned.

H is on spring break this week and they've been spending time at the airport watching planes, at the park, and in the backyard on the swing set.

Also we are looking forward to Lala visiting next week. We've been telling H for weeks that when Lala comes, he'll be making the transition to wearing underwear. We'll have to see how our plan goes over, but I think he's ready.... (possibly famous last words...) though yesterday morning I dragged myself out of bed because H was crying, 'Help! I need help. Pee on the potty' I was amused at the sight of H precariously crouched on the toilet, the holding on for dear life.
