Moments

Summer is coming to an end. School is starting and although we aren't there yet, we are adjusting to a new fall schedule. 

Kaden asked me the other day, "Is Amy coming today?"

"No Bud. She had to go back to school so we won't be seeing her as much."

"Oh. Does she go to preschool or something?"

"No, she is a teacher at a big kids' school."

"Oh. That's pretty awesome."

With a new busy schedule to replace our old busy schedule, I have been trying to spend as much quality time with each boy as possible. 

"Make this a good one, Mommy. Smile big!"

Kaden is my one who loves to take pictures. He has recently discovered the front side camera on my phone and If I let him, he would probably spend hours taking portraits and making faces at himself.  

It looks like we were having a meaningful chat. But really it was more along the lines of, "Kaden, can you please be good today? Please?!?" And he was. Sorta. 

Myles's favorite toy is his blue screwdriver. He says he is fixing the car. 

He is usually very sweet, even though he is stingy with his kisses. His new favorite thing to say is, "You only get one kiss, Mommy! Just one!" Sometimes we forget he is only two. 

 Finley has discovered clapping.

 And his tongue. Which are now his two favorite things. 

Along with his two favorite rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom. 

It's not always easy finding time in the day to give them each the individualized attention they need. Looking back on what feels like a week of pure chaos; It's fun to see that those moments were there, mixed in between temper tantrums, dirty diapers and scribbles on the walls (beds and pillows)
