Little Blessings

Troy and I were eating breakfast and he said, "Mom! Troy and Liam take bath?" I don't know where the talking in 3rd person came from, but I was delighted that he wanted to get in the tub. It has been a patience tester each morning the last few days.

Plus, for breakfast he asked for an apple and ate a lot of it. It's not odd for him to want an apple, but to actually eat more than a few bites, is. After he helped say the prayer, he clapped for himself because he said the last part on his own.

I went to work out with my friend Amanda this morning and when we got back Troy said, "I'm tired, nap with milk." Two blessings about this.. he communicated what he wanted without whining or crying or coaxing, and he is sleeping while Liam is sleeping. That doesn't usually happen.

Liam is done breastfeeding and it has not been this incredibly painful process like it was with Troy. YAY!

Ben got tickets to the BYU game tonight from his boss and I am really excited to take Troy to a basketball game. He is a little obsessed with ANY ball.

Ben has gotten to work a little on the new Provo Temple! So cool!! Plus, he isn't working overtime right now. Bonus!

Liam can stand all on his own for about 8 seconds. He is going to walk faster than Troy did, I think. I won't mind that at all ;)

Troy and Liam are the cutest little brothers. Troy bullies Liam sometimes, but we think that Liam is going to be able to take him on soon. Troy is actually really sweet to Liam most of the time. He makes sure that I get Liam food if he is asking for food. Troy watches out for Liam, tries to give him his binky, and always makes sure he has a toy. He is patient when Liam wants to play ball too, so it takes a little more time to pass back.

Liam is so sweet and we can't get enough of his cuteness. My mood seriously rises every time I am around his cute little smile.

The Lord sends me so many blessings each day. I need to recognize them more.
