When Sophie arrived one of the first things she told us was about - "Dumbo" her stuffed elephant. So where is Dumbo and why didn't you bring him? She said, "He's at home and he's sick." Well who is taking care of Dumbo? "Mommy is." Reid was listening to this conversation and said, "Who the heck would do that!?!" Not sure exactly what it meant, but the way he said it was hilarious!!
When I took this picture of Lauralea reading to the kids this morning I was trying to get all four of these kids with a finger in their mouth. All of them were doing it, but they would never ALL do it at the same time, so I got 3 out of 4! :) The 2nd picture depicts Sophie in the middle of some dramatic play. (I've mentioned it several times, but this reminds me so much of sister Nora!) Sophie was saying, "I'm driving to my meeting. I will be back soon Bubba....."
I've been changing Hudson's diaper on the floor because the height of the changing table is an issue for him right now. Anyhow it's a challenge to position him in such a way that I can block the little ones, especially Baby Nora who immediately crawls over. Nora was mad that she wasn't being successful and Sophie jumped right in to assist her without me even asking. She was comforting Nora and Reid was trying to assist Hudson with some reassuring talk; "It's all done Bubba, it's all done..." They were both trying hard to be good helpers and on their own initiative !!
