Just waiting for Daddy...

I love it when Patrick is eagerly waiting for Alan to come home from work.  
He says, "I'm going to go wait for my Daddy!" and then he goes to sit on the curb at the front of the house and just wait.  
He loves his Daddy!


Our Morning Dose of Sunshine

That's Patrick on most days.  He smiles as he says, "Good morning, Mommy!  Good morning, Daddy!"  He can't wait to go downstairs each morning for his breakfast...easily his favorite meal of the day.  Here we are on the way to school one morning. I couldn't help not to snap a few photos of him smiling and laughing at George, who was sitting beside him in the car.

Quality Time with George

George has a stomach bug.  Poor little guy.  I am so thankful that I was able to take today off work to stay home to take care of him.  I hate that he is sick, but I have to admit that I loved having the opportunity to pamper him and spend some quality time with him.  I hate to admit this, but since my maternity leave, I haven't had much one on one time with sweet George.  I guess that's par for the course when you are baby number three.  It's just that I'm always distracted and being pulled in so many directions that I rarely have moments to just sit and watch him, play with him, and snuggle with him.  Well, today, I did all of those things.

George has the most contagious laugh and smile.  He is so playful!  As I was folding laundry, he would come up to the pile of folded clothes and push them off the table.  He'd laugh.  Then I'd laugh.  I'd pick up the clothes and seconds later he comes back with a smile on his face that tells me he is coming back for more games and we continued this little game again and again.  He has such a good-natured and lively spirit!

I love the way he smiles and sticks his cute little tongue out sideways.

Usually I carry him in the wrap when we go to the grocery store, but today I put him and Sam in the race car cart.  It was hilarious.  George was literally squealing in delight for most of our shopping trip.  He finds such joy in so many little things.

Keep in mind, this was all while he was sick!  We are so blessed by his sweet and joyful spirit.  I pray that these attributes stay with him all the days of his life.
