The Quiet One

Everyone,

It seems that the days are flying by faster and faster. Every time I sit down to type up a post, I end up being called away on an important “mission” for one of the kids. At least, that’s what I tell myself to make serving them constantly seem more exciting. Current missions?

• Getting graham crackers for Professor.  Then cleaning up all the crumbs.
• Finding various toys for Pirate.  Actually he’s my easiest kid right now.
• Butterfly…hmm…trying to remember what I’ve done for her other than lots of reminding to do her chores.
• I’m noticing a theme.  Maybe I’m just feeling stretched by the smallest one.

The big kids call him Quiet Cowboy.  And he is really quiet as long as he is with his Mommy.  Daddy is okay.  Maybe.  But Mommy is the end all to beat all.  He takes most of his naps in the baby wrap.  I’d say he spends about half of his time in the wrap.  He’s there when I cook, when I clean, when I walk Butterfly to the bus in the mornings.

He’s a pretty good companion.  I like him.
