Lincoln and Everett get to have some 1 on 1 time while Vienna is at pre-school. He really does love the baby and is much less in his face than Vienna is to both of them, but he still likes to be near him and play with him.
These 2 little ones are so awesome!
This outfit it too cute! Such a dapper little man
Little brother, need I say more?
These are such great pictures. I love the Jammies, I love the baby and most of all I love the Daddy :)
This statement couldn't be more true and not just with Everett but with Lincoln as well.
Tee hee, what a girl!
Staring competition while on tummy time!
My dear Tali Nay spoiled us rotten with a giant cookie bouquet and an adorable sweater and dress shirt combo from Janie and Jack. I'm so glad we have each other!
Yes, we started Valentines crafts in January. In fact at this time they made Mema & Papa's and G-ma and G-pa's Valentines. Thank goodness because with all the Valentines we have done for Vienna's Teachers, pre-school classmates, dance class friends and Sunbeams class we are pooped out. Thank goodness its on Friday. On a plus note, she has mastered spelling her full name all by herself!!! I took a picture today and will post it soon.
The story behind this rainbow:
I'm a go-getter person and Mom. Sometimes I feel like its worth it and sometimes I feel like it doesn't matter. (Like doing things like crafts, activities and going out to fun places etc.)
On this particular I was feeling like it didn't matter at all. First of all, let me remind you that I have a 2 week old, am sleep deprived and have little kids that have been couped up from cold weather. I decide we're going to paint, and not just the normal paint. We are going to paint the fun clay things we made with Daddy. I get everything prepped, get the kids all covered in smocks get all the paints out get the kids set-up to go, let them start painting and sit down to paint my rainbow and literally I do the red and Lincoln is done. So I ignore him for a git but then it gets worse. I finish the orange and then I have to attend to him. While I clean his mess and him I start doing my yellow, then Vienna says she is done. I then proceed to clean up her and her mess. Technically its almost lunch, but all the stuff is out and I just want to finish painting this. So I do green and purple amongst Lincoln trying to tell me he wants to paint again, crawling back up the table etc. So I get fed up and clean it all up except the blue and a paint brush. I make lunch and I'm grumpy. I couldn't even take 10mins to paint this bloody rainbow. Lunch comes and goes and I'm getting ready to put the kids down for naps and quiet time. On the way to her room Vienna asks me, "Mom, why didn't you finish your rainbow?" and I respond very grumpily, "Because no one will let me. All I want is 10mins of time, thats it!"
She goes to quiet time and I lay down with Everett to take a nap. After a while I hear Vienna get up and I just leave her because she is quiet and Im tired. Sometimes she goes potty or starts playing with toys. Once I hear Lincoln I get up. Once I go into the kitchen I see this...the blue painted for me. She had put a little paint out, painted it, closed up the paint and layed the paint brush on the paper. No mess, no hint of her doing it. I go to find her and she has a bit of paint on her finger which had been transferred to her lip, but otherwise, clean. I ask her "Vienna, did you do something you weren't suppose to?" she looks at me a bit concerned. I say, "Why did you paint the blue on Mommy's rainbow?" she said "I was trying to finish it for you because no one let's you." I thought that was so sweet of her, it completely melted my heart and I said, "Thank you so much sweety for being so thoughtful. That was very nice of you."
I really couldn't believe it. But it goes to show just how intuitive little ones are and how thoughtful my little Vienna girl is. I'm so grateful to have her!
