Sleep Over

Tuesday night I decided would be a good night to have a sleep over with all 4 grandsons. Sawyer insisted on sleeping in the top bunk with Brennan. Knowing that he normally still sleeps in a crib and had never slept in a top bunk, I felt as a Grandma I was taking a risk. How could I say no, when I discovered that was what he was looking forward to. The were so tired that they fell asleep in a matter of minutes. Even slept all night.

The next morning Sawyer(age 2) told Isaiah(age 13), “when I’m big like you, then I want to sleep in the big bed in the basement like you did and when you're two, then you can sleep in the bunk bed like I did”!

It takes patience when children 1st want to start feeding themselves.

I found Jeremiah in the bathroom, standing on one of our Daudy chairs, brushing his teeth with Brennan’s toothbrush

Then it was off to swimming lessons for Brennan. It was very hot outside and as I was loading up the boys into the Van with the help of Isaiah, I wondered how Monica did this every day for 2 weeks.

Isaiah took these shots of Sawyer and Jeremiah, having fun in the sandbox, while Brennan was swimming.

Jeremiah-19 months is just starting to say words, climbs on everything and anything, has no fear. Thinks he can walk down the steps like everyone else. He comes running whenever he see’s us coming over and he Loves his Papaw.

Sawyer-2yr 9 mo. what a cute age and what a testing age! His strong stubborn will shows up a bit more than his parents wish, but you just can’t help but love the boy! He is really talking big these days.

Brennan-6 Sweet sensitive Brennan. Always looking out for his brothers. He struggles a lot when he is disciplined. Recently when he was given a time out by his Grandpa, he was so hurt and upset that he locked himself in a room. He didn’t want anything to do with his Grandpa the rest of the evening. He also loves to play the wii whenever possible.

Isaiah-13 Loves his ipod, computer and xbox. I enjoy watching him with the younger boys. There is a big difference in how he relates to them now versus when he first came. He can be a big help or a big tease, whichever he chooses to be.
