Oh the memories!
So in preperation for our little bundle of joy, we have been explaining to the boys about how babies can't do anything, they can't feed themselves or get themselves dressed, or talk, how mommy will have to do it all for them, and how cool it is to be 3 and 5 because your a big boy and can put your own shoes on and open the door for yourself and put your own seatbelt on..etc. Then Kevin starts talking about how he will change the baby's diaper for us, and Tyler says well maybe if youare really good maybe mommy will let you help bathe the baby in the sink.... "in the sink?! Why would the baby take a bath in the sink?" well that is where we used to bathe you! WHAT!? so of course we got the videos out and showed the boys how they used to bathe in the sink etc. then they started asking questions, Cameron asked about a binky that was in one of his hospital pictures (he never took binkie so they are foreign to him) and Kevin explained it is like a bottle only different :) then he asked what was the thing was on his stomach, I explained that was the cord that connected him to me when he was in my belly, and how he used to eat, they thought that was pretty cool! Kevin said I used to be connected to you! and I told him yes, he used to be connected to me! (heck, I grew every cell in your body buddy!) so we showed them some more videos, cute ones where Kevin is holding Cameron on the couch and won't let daddy pick him up because he is taking a picture with his baby... not daddy's baby! videos where Kevin is under one years old playing with his music toys in his room on the floor, and the house is completely silent as i sneak video from the hallway, I noticed there is a very busy 2 year old in all of Cameron's baby videos, noticed I had two in diapers, and Kevin was SO YOUNG... he would speak in full sentences but you only understood the "yes', "no", "ok," and "pictures" out of the whole sentence... so cute! And another thing, I noticed how clean my floors were! and how many places Kevin has lived in his short little life, our apartment in Rexburg, my parents house, Tylers parents house, our Jerome duplex, our Jerome house, our Oklahoma rental and then back here in our Jerome house, thats more moves than years he has been alive! Its so fun to look back! When i started getting stuff out to make the baby a quilt, the boys asked what i was doing, so i went and got out their baby blankets, they keep telling me house much they love them! So then me and Tyler had to go hunt down our baby blankets, they boys told me mine is "broken", and Tyler's is definitely wearing thin! Oh the memories!
