Today was a pretty good day considering we are all sick and not feeling very well. We started off the day watching Scooby-Do in the livingroom. The boys were eating cheerios by the handful straight from the box. On the tv, Shaggy mentions something about how he is a chicken. Just then Caleb grabs some cheerios, tosses them on the floor and tell me "I'm a chicken. Bawk, bawk, bawk" and pecks them off the floor with his mouth. Later on in the day we went to a friend's house to pick up a package since she is away. I let Caleb bring it inside since I had the other mail and Jensen in my arms. I hear the tearing of paper and turn around to see Caleb trying to open up the package. I told him he couldn't open it since it wasn't his and he had to wait for Ms. Brandy to come so she could have it. Well, that wasn't what he wanted to hear. He cried after I took it from him, saying there was a "choo choo" in there that was his.
After I finally got him to settle down and stop talking about the train I was obviously hiding from him he decided he needed to boss his brother around some. He's always trying to tell Jensen what and what not to do, but today took the cake. Jensen is teething and has been just plain grumpy the last few days. He started banging on the vacuum while throwing a fit and Caleb, hands on his hips, says "No Baby Jensen!". Well Jensen could care less about anyone getting onto him. It's nap time and no one has brought him his cup. After the second warning Caleb is starting to get mad and tries one more time with "No Baby Jensen!" When Jensen still doesn't listen he points his little finger at him and says very sternly "That's it. Go night night Baby!"
Jensen is getting big. He points, waves hello and goodbye, claps, and even says some things. His favorite thing is to watch those really depressing ASPCA commercials with all the one-eyed dogs and cats. Anytime it comes on he gets super excited and points and shouts "dog!". I love how big they are getting and that they can finally play well with one another. We're still working on getting Jensen to stop being lazy and walk, but he's pretty determined to stay crawling.
