5 on Friday

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

1. Nathan seems to be going through a language explosion; he's speaking more new words, he walks through the house singing his ABCs and now he sings along with Yo Gabba Gabba, Go Diego Go and other Nick Jr. shows.

2. Carlene was putting the boys down for their naps and thought Justin would be more comfortable without his boots so she took them off. Well she thought wrong and he started screaming; I forgot to tell her that J goes to bed wearing shoes on top of his footed pajamas. She was trying to put them back on when Aiden took one of them so J said "where my boots".

3. Nathan misses Justin when he's in school and gets excited to see him when he's picked up from day care. Carl said as soon as Nathan was strapped in his car seat he reached over and grabbed J's hand.

4. Justin woke up really early Saturday morning. Carl and I were both up so J came in our room, climbed on the bed and watched music videos with us. When Beyonce's "Countdown" came on he started dancing and he imitated her opening move where she imitates a ticking clock.

5. We were picking Nathan up from day care; Carl was sitting on the couch and Nathan grabbed his neck to pull him closer to him and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then he walked over and gave me a kiss.
