Landen, The Caregiver

So, here I go...
I'm working on this blog during nap time, because all mothers know that if you want to accomplish anything you have to be able to move fast during a two hour window! It takes me a few minutes to pick up toys, do a few dishes, and switch the laundry. I sit down, I check my email, I sign into my blog... and there it is... "MOMMY?" Dang.

Landen is recovering much better than I thought he would from his tonsil/adnoid removal. Tough little guy is eating and drinking just like he should, but today he keeps telling me he has a bellyache. I've tried everything... I think he's drifting off to sleep now, so hopefully it just goes away. He is talking so much these days and is such a sponge. We had to start making sure we listen to music or watch tv shows that don't say anything that we don't want him to repeat! :)

A few days ago, he told me "it's ok mommy, calm down honey"... Oops. I'm sure he heard that from me the last time he fell and cried or got himself worked up over something silly. I think was upset over orange pop spilled on the carpet... It was an accident, but I yelled at him to go get Mommy a towel. How could I be mad when he said "oops, sorry", tells me he'll be more careful and then immediately says "love you"? Smart kid. Cute, too! I'm a sucker.

Graden is just as cute... pretty adventurous, too. He likes to crawl on the kitchen floor and get stuck underneath the kitchen table. Plus, no matter how much I clean that floor - he always manages to find something that can go into his mouth! Ah, my little 10 month old monster! Landen just goes in after him and says "no, no, no, Graden! you can get hurt... come play with me" and guides him right back into the living room! What would I do without big brother, Landen? :)
