5 on Friday

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

1.  Carl and Justin were battling with cardboard inserts from wrapping paper and after J hit Carl in the knee he fell down in defeat.  J walked up to him, placed his hand on his back and said "are you okay daddy".

2.  I picked the boys up from mother in laws and was packing up their bag (toys, food, TV, books).  As I was zipping the bag Justin unzipped it and put the remote in the bag.  Good thing, cause I hadn't even noticed it.

3.  The boys and I were on our bed and I looked over at Nathan and he was tucking all of his Elmo's (4 of them) under the covers and patting their stomachs.

4.  We were in the playroom going over a lesson on the dry erase board and when Carl drew a frown Justin started crying and said "oh no, it's sad".  Then when Carl drew a smile J called out "it's happy".

5.  I was zipping up Justin's coat (Nathan already had his coat, hat and boots on) and Nathan grabbed J's book bag off the washing machine, walked up to J and handed him book bag and said "here, go to school".
