Two turned into four

Today I had the privilege of  babysitting a friends two little boys, one is about Hannah's age and the other about 6 months older than Felicity.  Titus and Max Gravell are two cuties.  Max slept for about half the time he was here, as did Felicity, so really it only felt like 2 kids most of the morning.  Now when Titus has come over in the past Hannah has been pretty shy and wanting to stick close to mommy, but today (maybe it was because his parents were not around and she felt he needed some comfort), she was so good with Titus, sharing all her toys, playing pretend with Titus, yes that was with him, not beside him, not in the same room but with him! It was so cute to see them jump all over the basement on the bed, read together, laugh and run together and just simply be kids, so innocent and full of joy.  It really made my morning so much easier because Titus kept Hannah occupied and vise versa, I got a lot of things done that I would have typically waited to do during naps time.  Thus making it so I could take yet another nap!  Which was nice since Felicity was up at 5AM.

We are struggling right now a bit with that, well I should say with Felicity not sleeping thru the night I feel like I am up every 2 hours with a very loud screaming baby.  I know that if Andrew and I just commit to doing it we can probably get her to sleep thru the night in a few days, but those three days are the most brutal days I just don't want to experience right now.  I just keep telling myself that if I could just have one night of good sleep this would not be so bad, but the reality is that we need to nip this in the bud.  So here is to hoping we can support each other at 2am when Felicity is pushing so hard and loudly that all you want to do is give in and go back to sleep yourself.  I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you Andrew for being strong when I am week,

All my love,

Hannah and Titus sharing Popsicle, look at the joy on her face, man I wish something so simple excited me this much.

Titus was not so sure about these Popsicle at first, but Hannah's joy soon rubbed off on him.

Felicity would eat anything and everything if we let her, the moment she sees anyone put food in their mouth she is right there watching you, see how badly she wants her sisters food.  She does the same thing when we eat dinner.  Pretty cute and funny, until she starts growling at us to give her something to eat.
