All this before 9:00 AM

My morning started at 6:30 when Adam woke up. I laid in bed for another 10 minutes, hoping he would just fall back asleep. He didn’t.

Luke woke up a little after eight, which is early for him. He normally sleeps until after nine. I left Adam downstairs watching cartoons while I got Luke up, made a him a bottle, and changed his diaper. In the middle of the diaper change Adam came upstairs. He had taken off everything – and I mean everything – and told me he was going to take a bath.

I got the littlest dude situated with his bottle (he’s pretty close to being able to hold it on his own), told the bigger dude to wait in the bathroom, and ran downstairs to grab Adam’s clothes and check for damages – sure enough, he had peed on the floor. So Adam and I had a chat about where it is appropriate to go potty (it’s a short list – hopefully he’ll be able to remember it) and I gave him a bath.

Afterwards while getting Adam dressed he insisted on wearing a “choo choo” shirt. No problem, he has a train tee shirt, that’s an easy request to meet. Then he demanded choo choo pants too. When I told him he didn’t have any choo choo pants he told me to “Go to the store, buy choo choo pants”.  After I’d informed the little dictator that I wasn’t going to go shopping for choo choo pants he went to his closet and pulled out a pair of train pajamas – a compromise we were both happy with.

Before I got Luke dressed for the day (he’s much less opinionated) I wanted to try to get a couple of pictures of him in his baptism outfit since I forgot to on Saturday. I managed to get a couple cute ones – despite Adam trying to steal the blanket out from under Luke.

Ignore the wrinkles please. Luke wore the same outfit that Adam wore when he was baptized, and according to my brother he looked like a giant marshmallow.

Cutest marshmallow ever.

The white blanket was a gift from Great Grandma Rose. She gave one to Adam for his baptism as well. They are really beautiful and super soft too.

I say cheese!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!
