Luck?

I really should not be blogging right now. I mean, my ADD brain has like 381 different projects going on in my mind (examples? A video on JA, finishing the wall art for the kids room with their names, redoing some things in the living room to add the color blue {I'm into blue right now} ). Not to mention the daily, ho-hum boring but necessary things that I should be attending to around the house (laundry, dishes). 

Yes I SHOULD be doing something else but both my babies are asleep and all I can think about is how much I love them and how lucky we are. 

Yesterday I was at the mall with the kids. We ended up in our usual place-Nordstrom's Ladies Lounge- so that I could change a couple diapers and feed a hungry little guy. There happened to be another mother there feeding her tiny newborn son. She and her mother commented on how adorable Esella is (is it the curls? The way her face scrunches up and her big eyes disappear when she smiles?) and they asked me how she was doing with her little brother. 

They were surprised when I said she was awesome. They told me I was so lucky. That they too had a 2 1/2 year old daughter at home who was ready to be rid of her new little brother.

Is it luck? Luck that Esella holds Everett's hand in the car? Luck that the first thing she says in the morning is "Everett waking up! Hi Everertt! You OK Everett!"? Luck that she tries to help him roll over, showers him with kisses, and pretends to "eat him up"?

I don't know, but I am thankful to have such a sweet girl. One day, she will make an amazing mommy I think. She already is so good at taking care of her brother.

Reading to her little brother.

I guess we are lucky. Blessed. And maybe, just maybe, she got a little bit of her sweetness from her mommy and daddy. 

 

Say CHEESE!!

She is currently obsessed with the video camera. We just have a little flip cam...and she LOVES it. Today she made a video for "Grandma, GrammaB, Grandpa, YehYeh and C" where she sang her ABC's (kinda) and said "hi" everytime I told her to say "bye". 

Until Next time....If you start feeling down think about all they ways you are lucky too.
