Wow They Really Do See!

Everyone,

The other day we had both boys in their high chairs getting ready for dinner. Butterfly had set out the plates and given the boys their forks (her chore) and we were just bringing the food to the table. Butterfly called out, “Let’s pray!” Both the boys folded their arms with big happy grins on their faces.

It was so adorable.

Butterfly said the prayer with Professor muttering along with her. She mentioned in her prayer that he was saying it with her and how happy she was that he learned to pray.

That was also so adorable!

Once she said “amen” both boys yelled out, “men!”

The fun thing about this is that we haven’t taught them prayers. With Butterfly we folded her arms for her and taught her how to do this. We didn’t do it with the boys. Mostly because they out number us now and mostly because we are too tired/hungry/frustrated to make them fold their arms.

Apparently we’re doing something right because now any time anyone says, “Prayer time!” they fold their arms.

Seriously it’s so stinking cute I’m going to have to record it.

Butterfly and the Boys

Everyone,

Butterfly loves her brothers. Every time one of them makes a little noise, she runs over there and says, “Don’t worry! Big sister is here!” She loves to get diapers for me, get the boys their pacifiers, and hold them. After a second of holding, she will basically throw him back at you and rush off to play. Of course, she only wants to hold them when they are awake and hungry so she really doesn’t care to hold them if they are squirming. Which is the only time she wants to hold them. And around in a circle we go with that.

She asks all the time, “Which baby is this?” I always ask her baby what baby she thinks he is, and she is right about 80% of the time. Of course, she insists that Pirate is Professor or Professor is Pirate to be funny.

One of the boys just sneezed and she piped up and said, “Bless you one of the babies.”
