To Brennan

"I love you. My name is Brennan.  I would like to say "T I double-G errrr... and that spells Brennan!... And Tigger too.  I love you Mommy, very much.  Who's that mommy I love?  I like dinosaurs named Tyrannosaurus Rex and Carnotaurs.  Who's that Baby I love (pointing at Aidan)  Who's that Daddy I love that plays X-box games and sleep all day and snores all day!  And I like calling people and going on the computer, playing with Aidan, making supper, watching tv, packing boxes, and hugging and kissing my mommy!  And that's it!"

These are your words, Bunny, while sitting on my lap at 4 and a half years old.

I love you very much!

My Bear, why are you afraid of Lemon Meringue pie??? I offered you a bite at least 5 times tonight, and you backed away EACH time, looking at me with a look that says "I don't trust you and your canary-yellow food... what IS thar stuff, anyways?  That's it, you're getting The Scowl.  Now leave me alone while I bump into the desk, the chair and another chair backing away from you".  I swear to God, that is your reaction.  I have no idea if you would behave the same if I gave you apple pie... Is it just pie-related, or desert-related?  I know you have a sweet tooth, so for now, I'll leave it.

Love you!

Kindly stop yelling my name!!!! I love you, and I'm thrilled that you can say "Maman" (look at you, all bilingual at 18 months!) but sometimes Mommy needs a minute to think!  Especially when we're 4 days away from our move.  So I'll make you a deal.  If you promise not to climb any chairs, tables or boxes, I will let you down from your booster seat more often.  Do you think you could manage that?  I'll hold up my end, if you can hold up yours.  Oh, and don't listen to Brennan when he tries to tell you to go on the big rocking chair.  You know Mommy says no, so don't do it!

I love you my little Bear!

To Brennan

Hi my big boy!  I'm so proud of you for being so patient for the last 3 months, while I pack all your little toys and stuffed animals.  I know I can be a little grumpy and short-tempered at times, but you really showed me that you're my big boy now, not quite my little baby anymore.  Now, if you would only stop unpacking all the boxes that I pack...

Love you much!
Mommy

Thank you for helping me with the dishes at 7:30 this morning.  I know I can always count on you to give me empty water bottles, and plates left behind by everyone.

To my Boys

You are my world.  I love you guys more than anything.  That's why I made this blog for the two of you.  So I can write little lines about your day, and any other little thing I can think of at the time.
