That's what we call it now. The Chase. The Chase is on!
What I am talking about is what has become the new obsession in the house. They loooove to chase each other. In the last couple weeks, we've noticed that the level of interaction between the boys has risen to a whole new level. What started out as rolling over onto one another, a few smiles here and there, then progressed to stealing toys and heartbreaking screams when watching the brother now happily shake the toy that was just in my mouth or seeing my pacifier in the mouth of running away brother, has now turned into..... play!
OMG. it is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Jeff and I just sit and watch and go.. Omg!! look at that! OMG... look at them...OMG!!! how freakin cute is that!!! We are like little kids watching for the best fireworks on the 4th of July. LOL
They love to chase each other. When one is in a crib still and another is outside of it, they will hold toys and pull them away. They will stand on either sides of the crib so they can see each other through the bars and just sit there and... laugh at each other. Seriously.. there is nothing cuter in the world. THIS is sibling love. THIS is amazing. Tonight, if I didn't know they really aren't capable of such a thing yet, it was actually like Alex and Nate were playing hide n go seek. Nate was running from Alex and trying to get on the other side of the rocker and when he got there he peeked out and Alex saw him and run after him. Nate burst into hysterical laughter and Alex did too. Again.. I just stand back and watch and think I am the luckiest mom on earth.
Ben has had a rough weekend. He isn't feeling good. I think it's more teeth. He's had an off and on fever. We did all go to Kindermusic yesterday and I was really worried if we'd make it. Or he would. But.. he was the stinkin star of the show! He was happily the instructors example baby for the entire hour! Running around charming everyone. But.. still.. he's out of sorts. They all love Kindermusic though. Jeff and I just laugh.. it's a TOTAL workout for us. Up and down.. chasing boys.. bouncing, dancing, singing.. we come out sweating!
Other than that.. not much else to report. We had our first weekend with no company in 4 weeks, so it was nice to have some peace and family time. Jeff and I got a nice take out dinner on Saturday and had some wine. And now it's back to the grind tomorrow.. Monday. yukk!!
