Well here we are waiting for baby boy #3 to decide he's ready to join the party. We're already five days past when Mason was born, and today is when Riley would have been born. Guess this little guy is a bit more patient than his older brothers.
In the meantime, the boys have been entertaining us. Riley's latest thing is knock-knock jokes, although he doesn't get that you ask someone else to take part in them. They go something like this (all said by Riley with no breaks) "Knock, knock. Who's there? Napkin who never wipes!". "Knock, knock. Who's there? Cow who doesn't moo!". He and Mason have a great laugh at these "jokes" and John and I can't help but laugh too. The sense of humor of a four year old is really something.
Mason on the other hand has taken to telling stories at the dinner table. They go something like this "Once 'pon a time there was a little girl named Mommy. She went up a hill. The end.". "Once 'pon a time, there was a little boy named Riley. The end.". "Once 'pon a time there was a little girl named Grandma, she was sleepin. The end.". Perhaps we have a future author on our hands.
The boys have also taken to sleeping in Riley's bed together. Each night when I go in to check on them and close the door they are both in Riley's twin bed sound asleep right next to each other. It's very sweet. I want to get a picture, but they are up before the sun comes up in the morning, and it's not as if I can take one at 10:00 at night. Maybe they'll start sleeping in soon and I'll be able to capture these sweet moments.
Finally, a picture of the newest member still hanging out in the belly. This was taken just last weekend, at 36 weeks, 2 days.
Our third sweet son
The proudest big brothers around. When they first saw him they wanted to see his fingers and toes to see how tiny they were. They also love how soft his hair is.
