One more month

In exactly one month from now it will be Jericho's first full day of preschool. Some days I'm excited for him and others I just think I'll really miss him. Like today. He's been sitting right next to me asking for " a little bit more loving". I told him that we would have to buy new things for preschool, like a lunchbox. Then I asked him what he would like to buy and his response was: " a green bus". I think he's hoping he's going to get a cool ride there.

We had company over last night and had some DQ ice cream cake. We discovered that we might be in for some trouble with Kai as he would ask Nate for some more, Nate would tell him to ask Mommy, then Kai would turn to me with the biggest smile and twinkle in his eye and say, "pleeeeeeese Mommy?" Smiling the whole time. I just wanted to laugh, and he got more.

Last night when it was time for Kai to go down, Jericho helped. Kai was already in his bed and started crying. So I asked Jer to go to the fridge, get Kai his milk and take it to him. He did, with glee. It was funny listening to them interact.

"Here's your milk Malachi..."

"tank-too"

"Where's your blanket?"

"bu-bye"

"No, it's right there silly! Good-night!"

"nye night!"

Those of us listening were in stitches. They are like little people now who communicate and mostly make sense! I feel like such a successful parent sometimes.
Right now they are in our room pretending like Nate's side of the bed is a slide and my side is the ladder on the way up. I'm a little worried as they can be way too quiet sometimes and last time they played this game my jewelry box ended up spilled everywhere. There are still little beads under our bed.
