My Kids Make Me Smile

Before bed this evening I was laying with Leo, he was laying in bed with very sweet smiles asking for his blanket as he said that he loved Lily, Daddy and "you too" speaking to me. precious moments

As he goes to sleep at night he also pretends to snore as soon as he lays down, trying to be more convincing that he is sleepy? Maybe.

Last month while I was in New York Mike had Leo watch The Land Before Time, Leo fell in love, I also have a bragging mom moment: In that movie they refer to themselves as Long necks, three horns or sharp tooth. Leo was calling them by their correct dinosaur name! He knew sharp tooth was a T-rex and that Cera is a Triceratops! The others he didn't know but I as impressed by the two he did! A funny thing he adopted from watching the movie is answering us like ducky does, by repeating.  If we asked him if he wants something it is usually answered like "yes, I do...I do!"

Leo could "roar" at anyone and everyone, all day. Poor Brenden has been traumatized. ;)

Speaking of Brenden...his birthday party was last weekend and we had some classic Leo moments at the party!

Being a silly brother.

Brenden got a Thomas pillow pal for his birthday(identical to Leo's) and when Leo realized it wasn't for him he dropped to floor crying! dramatic

Lily has been VERY talkative lately! Chitter-chatter non-stop...now I just wish I knew whats she was saying ;)

Waiting patiently for Her toy back .

Yelling Playing away

Leo gave me a huge scare the other afternoon, he fell asleep playing in his room but he buried himself under all these pillows! I couldn't find him for close to five minutes.

When Lily wakes up from her naps Leo still shouts "good morning Lily!" or "Hi baby girl!"  He doesn't get the chance to say those things in the actual morning because Lily is an EARLY BIRD her eyes pop open right at 8am no exceptions and she starts the day by waving and yelling HI! Leo is more like his parents and likes sleeping until 930 or 10, Bless Him!

Leo has started telling me what kind of birthday he wants, it changes every day but so far we have talked about Avengers, Monsters, and of course the beloved Thomas.

P.S I typed all this one-handed with Leo in my lap because he is being super clingy while Mike and Lily take a nap, so this post might seem a little scatter-brained.

I will leave you with this photo, Leo tucked in Lily's doll to bed all on his own the other evening.
