Now Featuring...

It's been over a week since my inaugural Now Featuring... post, but that's because I've been busy doing lots of things that made me pretty darn happy. I could post about how happy I was to get to see Crinners and Cristin and Dee last Wednesday night and the delicious meal that came with that (Thanks, Dee!!) and how much I miss seeing those guys on a regular basis. I could also post about the happy times I shared with my friends in Utah over the weekend, for there were many many happy times. But, those things will have to wait for other posts.

The one thing that made me most happy this week was coming home to my nephews. Sappy, I know...but true all the same. I got home on Monday night and Lauren was out with some friends. Wil was about to feed Little Bear his bottle but I volunteered to do it instead - for the free cuddles of course. He was happy to eat and snuggle and there wasn't much fighting with the bottle (which is out of the ordinary) and he burped two big burps, quick and easy (which is also out of the ordinary due to his reflux). That gave me loads of snuggle time with LB (who still really does look like a little bear).

Yesterday I went home for lunch. Lauren made us egg sandwiches that were tres yummy. Monkey seemed happy to see me but was in his chair eating lunch when I arrived. I gave him his presents (a fish book and a Berenstain Bears DVD for after naptime) and I read him his new book. We finished eating and I got up to get myself a drink. When he climbed out of his chair, he ran straight to me with his arms up and gave me hugs and kisses. Then he just chilled there for a while talking to me about the new van they were going to buy and just laying his head on my shoulder to catch up on "cuggles". It's amazing how much his vocabulary has improved just in the five days I was gone. He's putting together more complex sentences and not using his baby words as much (vroom vroom is now occasionally "car"). We went to the car dealership to pick up the new van and a fire engine drove past the window. Monkey ran over to Lauren and said "Saw! Saw!" (meaning he saw something cool) and then said "Saw a HUGE engine!" Later we also saw a HUGE motorcycle...I was corrected when I didn't describe it as huge.

So anyway, that's what made my week this week. Happy boys who missed me and free flowing cuddles and kisses. What could be better?
