One step closer to big boys!

The boys rode their bikes to the pool for the first time. It was quite a site seeing their bikes parked beside each other at the pool.

VBS 2012

The boys did great this year! They loved their teachers, actually remembered the stories and shared them with me and performed quite well with all the big kids.

Below are 3 different videos I took during the performance.  Notice Carson's obsession with looking up.  He keeps thinking there are little people up in the ceiling the change the spotlights.  Also, Cooper found a new way to play with his flip flops and cheeks.....

Oh to have the mind of a 4 year old.....

So, it is in the middle of the night and all of the sudden I hear Carson screaming out and crying.  It was shocking because it is a very rare occurence in our house for the boys to make much noise in the middle of the night.  As I am jumping up and running into the room, I glance at the clock and see that it is 3am in the morning.   I go into the room using as little light as possible so as not to wake Cooper.  Carson is sitting at the end of his bed holding his head like he hit his head.  I ask him what is wrong and he says in the middle of sobs:  "When I pull the hair on the back of my neck really hard, it hurts really, really badly!!!".......... Suddenly, all of the pitty and "caregiving" I felt 5 seconds earlier erases.  I don't even bother trying to figure out why he would be pulling the hair on the back of his neck in the middle of the night.  I have learned it is usually better not to ask those questions.  He gets tucked back into bed and told to quit pulling his hair......that was then end of that.
