5 on Friday

As always, here are 5 special reasons I'm loving my boys this week:

1. Carl was reading a Dr. Seuss book to Justin before he went to bed. As Carl finished up that book J shut the book, climbed off his dad's lap, grabbed his "Your Very Own Name" book and climbed back into the chair with Carl. After Carl finished J ran to his bed and climbed in.

2. The boys and I were sitting on the steps, they were actually a few steps above me and Nathan kept wrapping his arms around my neck from behind to hug me. I guess Justin wanted to share in the love; he wedged himself between Nathan and I and started hugging me from behind.

3. Carl brought his old keyboard home from storage for the boys to play with and they absolutely love it. Justin turns it on, Nathan finds the beat and then J adds music pressing the keys while Nathan dances.

4. Justin looks forward to washing his hands after he uses the potty; he climbs up on the step stool and holds out his hands for the soap and yells out "wash hands" with the biggest grin on his face.

5. Nathan is such a big helper; I was folding laundry in Justin's room and Nathan took the clothes out of the basket and put them in J's drawer.
