5 on Friday

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

1.  As told by Carlene: Out of the blue Nathan picked up Elmo, called out "Elmo" and then "Sesame Street pronounced ses sweet.

2. Justin was helping me clean up his room and I asked him to grab the books off his bed and put them on the bookcase. He walked up behind me with a pile of books and said "here are books".

3. Justin and Carl were reading "Oh the Thinks you can Think" on Carl's iPad. Nathan was wandering around the room, walked up to the bookcase and then grabbed the "Oh the Thinks you can Think" book off of the bookcase and handed it to Carl.

4. After Justin finished using the bathroom he looked up at me and said "I did it, winning". When I asked him what he said he smiled and said "winning, winning, winning".

5.  Our new ritual is a family group hug before we finally put the boys to bed.  The other night Nathan said "Thank you, I'm so happy" after our hug.
