No child left behind

My heart tore a little today for my Fafa. Nubbin has been quite the social butterfly lately and he's leaving his little brother in the dust.

Today, we had Nubbin's best friend from preschool over and the two of them ran around the yard playing 'good guy, bad guy.' This is a game that Fafa likes to play with Nubbin, but he was left out because there can only be 1 'good guy' and 1 'bad guy'. I saw Fafa standing on top of the sandbox, quietly staring at the two older boys.

After the friend left, Nubbin got invited to Sissy's house to play. As Nubbin walked out the door with CharlieGraham, Fafa followed them eagerly. I could tell Fafa was excited because he thought he was going to Sissy's house too. But, when I scooped him up and closed the door, he started to wail... All he kept saying was, 'Go too, mommy! Go too...'

I know that he'll have his own friends someday, but you can't explain that to a 2 year old. So, I rocked him and gave him 3 pieces of chocolate which assuaged him until Husband came home for lunch. poor Fafa.

When we were young

This is a picture of me and MoD from 1983. We were vacationing at Carolina Beach... remember the boardwalk?

I hope that my kids will some day have a great childhood friend to spend every summer with and have wonderful memories with. I also hope that they never get a Facebook account and post pictures of their childhood exploits... good or bad.

Happy Valenversary... 6 years and counting

Superhero convention

Introducing Captain America and his sidekick, Helmet Boy!

Nubbin has been wearing his 'co-mer-o-CAN flag' all week long and was even spotted wearing just the flag this evening (we've moved from the poop phase to the 'I want to be naked at every chance I get' phase). As for Fafa, I love the fact that you can just see his eyes through the slit of the helmet.

Check Mate

So, Husband thought it was about time to introduce the boys to chess. Yes, they are 2 and 3 1/2 respectively and this is the same dad who bought them a Rubik's Cube. Well, Nubbin tried to understand the rules, but Fafa, well the last picture says it all.

Nubbin ended up playing with Husband while we pulled out the Simpson's chess board for Fafa who proceeded to play, 'good guys, bad guys' with the pieces. All we heard from Fafa was his imitation of laser sounds followed by, 'AHHHH, BAD GUYS!'

Daddy time

I love moments like this because it reminds me of how much I love my children and how much I love their father... Those two were cuddle buddies all weekend.

How many siblings can you fit in one photo?
