A Good Day

Jasper and I always text throughout the day.  It is our way of keeping in touch about how our days are going, what time he will be coming home, what we have going on, etc.  At some point in the day he always texts "How are the boys?"  I would be lying if I said that I didn't sometimes say "they are a mess, when the heck are you coming home."  However, more often than not we are having a good day.  Today was one of those days.

The kids were just hilarious today.  Miles went from crawling a couple of feet after much effort to just taking off across the room today.  He has also been practicing his new hobby of pulling up all day.  HE practiced on me, on the couch, on the basket of toys, on everything.  The kid literally didn't sit still all day.  At one point as I was changing a very messy diaper of Jax's Miles was crawling towards us and fell over, hitting his head on the wood floor.  He started crying and I tried to get him sitting up while still dealing with the dirty diaper.  When I finished, I asked Jax to hug his brother while I washed my hands so I could pick him up.  Jax went over to hug Miles and Miles grabbed the snack out of Jax's hand and shoved it in his mouth.  Instantly the crying stopped and all was good with the world.  This kid loves his food, that is for sure.  The rest of the day he was simply all smiles.  He is one of the happiest kids I know and I love it.

Jax was also on fire with his language today.  He is my little comedian.  When Miles was fussing in his crib and fighting his afternoon nap (leading me to believe he is about to drop it entirely), Jax picked up the baby monitor and looked at it and said just flatly said "take a nap baby."  He also constantly tries to sit on his little brother saying "I ride the baby!"  We are working on that.  More than anything today though he wanted to hold Miles.  "Jax hold the baby, Jax hold the baby. "  Every time I would sit Miles in his lap he would fall over and laugh saying "Jax and Miles fall down."

Of course Jax had his moments today, just like every other day in the life of a toddler.  Today a tantrum resulted because he wanted his high chair in the middle of the kitchen as opposed to by the table.  I decided to pick my battles and this wasn't one of them.

However most of the day was filled with giggles, playing, reading and building.

I love watching these boys start to play together.

Today was a good day.
