Playing hookie...

We were home from school, work and daycare 3 days this week because of the snow and because the daycare said Trent had a fever. I really think he gave him his pitiful pearl face and they bought it. He sure didn't seem to be feeling sick when we were at home playing.

We have pictures of Mariah in the dishwasher when she was about this age. Brent can't stand them getting in the dishwasher. He tells me over and over how they could break the door. I obviously don't listen to him when he tells me that.

Trent loves to watch his sister play the wii and pretend that he is playing along with her. Look at his eyes; he really looks like he is focused on the game!

I was trying to empty the recycle box but he insisted that he be inside the box looking outside instead of helping.

He didn't want to have his shirt on for some reason and I just had to take a picture because he looks like a big boy in jeans and no shirt on.


He is leaning against the rocking chair giving me a silly look. It was almost a "yeah, I'm good looking so what?!" look! He was cracking me up.
Here is a close up of his face

Sleeping Prince

You can't see too well in this video because the lighting isn't very good. Trent and I were rocking the other night and he didn't want to sit in my lap; he wanted to sit next to me like a big boy. He looked so stinkin' cute and so grown up sitting there. He even ended up falling asleep like that.

Finally an update!

Mariah is trying to read to Trent but Trent wants to hold every book she picks up and she can't see the book to read it.

Trenty wanted to snuggle his sister when we were rocking. It was so precious.

Here is Trent loving on Missy and his stuffed animal he got for Christmas.

Trent is hiding in a cabinet on his changing table. Mariah used to get in the bathroom cabinet and pop her head out just like this when she was little.

The sibling relationship is blooming!

The other night I was rocking Trent and Mariah, which is quite normal for our bedtime routine. Trent usually drinks his bottle and drifts peacefully off to sleep. After I lay him down I tuck Mariah into bed and that is all. The whole process usually lasts 30 -45 minutes. The other night was different and not in a bad way. Trent finished his bottle and decided to be silly. He popped the bottle out of his mouth and sat up and looked at Mariah and made a silly sound. She did it back to him and this went on for a few minutes. Trent would knock Mariah in the head with his bottle and then laugh (his laugh is so stinkin' cute it makes me chuckle a little). He would pull her hair and laugh when she told him to stop. This silliness went on for over an hour. It was such a beautiful moment to see the two of them really interact like brother and sister. I have seen Trent's love for Mariah grow so much lately. Every morning while getting ready we call out to Mariah, sister as we call her, and she has to come in and tell him good morning. He just glows when she comes in. I know they are going to have some quarrels as they get older but I pray they have a close relationship like me and my brother and sister.

11 days and counting...
