When Dada comes home

This video shows Drew's reaction to Dada coming home. He usually spins in more circles and does more dances. One night, he did a very good impression of a break dance (then banged his head on the cupboard). Anyway, it also shows how Drew relays not being allowed to eat cat food, how he indicates the cat is present, how he identifies trucks, and how he likes to escort us to the other room to play on the bed - in that order and all in the first minute Dada is home.

Andrew and I are both anxiously awaiting Sisbro's arrival. Due date is next Saturday, but we're hoping for sooner. We both want to meet the newest addition, want to find out the gender, want to get immersed in life as a family of four. Should be doubley good! Here's the latest blog entry for Sisbro.

My sister-in-law is coming to town tomorrow, and that starts the beginning of a couple of months of family being here. It will help so much to have the extra pair of hands while Andrew and I adjust to a new routine. I only wish they lived close permanently.

Hugs N Kisses for Sisbro

LIfe this week

It's amazing to see all that Drew can do, because I suppose I limit in my own head his abilities. But when prompted to say this or do that - he can and does. Makes me eager to expose him to so much more and do more with him. His brain is a sponge! For example, last week I read an article about showing him crayons and paints. That didn't occur to me because I thought it was too early. But I did it anyway - and what do you know? He can do it! He likes the crayons you can use in the tub to paint on the tile. He also was using both hands downstairs to draw with chalk on our chalkboard wall just yesterday. It's pretty cool!

Sisbro is getting huger. Meanwhile, we wait. Nursery is ready, Drew's moved into his new room (still in a crib though) and the car seat is prepped. Also, talked to a friend who said the amount of movement in the womb definitely was an indicator of what the baby was like on the outside. So, I anticipate a mover and shaker. Lots different from Drew. Whoo eee. Please, God, give me energy!
