Over the course of the last 2 weeks I have uploaded these pictures a million times now and they keep getting deleted or someone closes out of my account before I can add them.... so now I'm just throwing them on here real quick so that I can get on with the rest of the millions of pictures I have failed to post.
Because Erika and Noah
were doing this:
they couldn't sleep and ended up doing this:
instead of sleeping!!!
Actually, it's a lot of fun for Nate and I to get this one on one time with just the two littles so much lately. They sure have become good friends. It's funny to have these two little personalities together. Noah's so gentle and sweet for a boy, Erika's a little rough and rowdy for a girl (though she has a new found love for Barbies, which I think is just ADORABLE!!!), so they seem to be meeting in the middle a lot! Noah will play house for a while, it's so cute to hear them call each other "Dad" and "Mom" while carrying around babies. And Erika will play cars and dinosaurs with Noah. She knows all the names of the boy toys! I don't think he's gotten her to play superheroes with him yet, but I think that might be crossing the line for him :) He doesn't even let me play anymore :*(
Squeezing her cheeks :). It's so funny that she lets him do that and then laughs in the process. She really is a fun little sister for a bunch of boys! And Noah's kind enough to humor her while she's tackling him :) Funny kids.
They really do love each other. I hope they stay friends for at least a little while. But at least I know that even if they spend most of their childhood fighting, they can still come out in the end as friends. They remind me of my big brother and me. Hopefully Erika will look up to Noah as much as I look up to Brent.
The other day I looked out the back door and saw Erika sitting there, on the top of the ramp, in her pink throne, watching the boys play. It seriously looked like the Queen overseeing her kingdom at work. She turned around for the picture :) It was funny though. Made me realize how much my little boys take care of her. They are the ones who cater to her every whim. "But Erika wanted to!" is their usual excuse for things. She sure is their Princess! I'm glad she'll never be at a disadvantage with 3 loving big brothers to stand up for her and make her more than happy and comfortable.
These last ones are when the Taylors were here. Funny enough I only got pictures of them! None of my own. Though we were missing 4 of ours during the day that they were here. Kind of a bummer for the big kids (theirs and mine! They were devastated when they came home and found that they'd already gone home! New rule: if I babysit older kids while they're off track, you have to leave them here long enough for my kids to play with them! :) )
Erika had such a hard time sharing while they were here. Even as I'm posting this, she sees Sam with her baby bottle and she's getting all stressed out about it.... gonna have to work on that!
