I thought I better just jot these cute little things down before I forget!
Jonathan turned on the music on Amelia's babyswing (details on her birth coming soon). She randomly moves her arms and hands in the air while she is sitting there. Jonathan saw her doing this after he turned on the music and exclaimed, "Look Mommy, Amelia is conducting!" It was adorable--he was completely serious!
I was cleaning the kitchen and Jonathan was talking to me. He told me that his cousin Taylor had the force.
I am serious Mom, he really has the force". I asked him how he knew his cousin had the force. "When we were at their house, he held his hands out like this (holding his hands in the air like Yoda would) and the trunk on his car went up! I am serious; he didn't push any buttons and it just went up when he put his hands up!"
Jonathan was sitting by me while I was nursing. He was being pretty funny and I said, "you are a funny kid" He responded with "No I am not funny!" I said, "Yes you are" he responded, "No I am not!"
"Yes you are."
"No I am not!"
"Yes you are and you are really cute!"
"No I . . . well, I am cute."
He really is a sweet little boy and I adore him. He surprises me at how smart and witty he is. He really is funny in a witty way sometimes. He has really been enjoying reading and counting more since both girls are in school. It is fun to see him grow. I can't believe how much coming home from the hospital with a newborn has made him grow! He is one big kid now!! He is actually doing very well with the baby. I have been surprised. He really enjoys her and doesn't seem to mind or be bothered that she has come into our home. I expected a fair amount of jealousy and possible dislike of the baby, but he really loves her and loves being her big brother. We often all nap together on my bed in the afternoon before the girls get home from school. He and I usually hold hands when we nap. A few times he has held Amelia's hand--it is really quite cute!
