The Bestest 7 Ever

"Mom, he just made the bestest 7 ever!" Madison and Wyatt have decided Levi is ready to learn how to color.

Child Labor

It was time...It got that bad...I decided my floor really needed a hands and knees mop. So I got all of the stuff ready, and was down on the floor ready to start.
Madison walks in, "Mom, what are you doing? Can I do it?"
I try not to turn down the help (even though it's sometimes easier to do it myself). "Sure, grab a rag."
"No, I want to do it myself."
Okay, I'm sure I can find something more entertaining to do. She later allowed Wyatt to help. It kept them busy for an hour and a half. Can't beat that--a sparkling clean floor and two kids entertained for that long!

Keeping Up With His Cousin...

Levi is practicing his "making friends" smile, kind of like Katelyn's. He doesn't quite have it down as good as her, but he's getting there. We've been able to get some little laughs out of him, but it never lasts long because he always gives himself hiccups. He doesn't have the cutest picture clothes on. I really should try his clothes on him before I get to the picture place. This was the spare outfit I carry in the diaper bag because the shirt I brought was way too big. And his pants aren't really 80's stonewashed, they just look that way in the picture. But for all the work it takes to make the appointment, pack him up and drive 20 minutes, and try to time it right so he isn't hungry or asleep...we were going to take his pictures in cute clothes or not! Maybe that's why the photographer suggested we do some diaper shots (which turned out really cute, too).
