I love having a house full of boys--and although it is loud, often smelly, and I repeat myself at least twice with anything I say, this is a blessed life and I am so thankful for it.

Changes
William Henry. He has gotten all fancy on us this week. He's decided he needs some new moves. One morning a few days ago we woke to him chattering sweetly like he does and then it slowly escalated to annoyance and finally into an ear piercing scream. He had pulled himself up into a standing position and you could tell it freaked him out and he had no idea what to do next. So, Steven lowered the mattress down. I like this one...it's like he feels we're ruining his bed.Last night right before bedtime I was playing with the boys in Will's room. Whenever we're in there Matthew always pulls a book off the shelf for me to read. And Will is always after it. He was so determined. Matt kept jerking the book away from him and scooting farther and farther away. Will persisted. He scooted his little body across the whole floor! Our little baby is crawling. Maybe rudimentarily, but he's getting around. I expect his technique will improve.Matthew Thomas. He's growing up. Most of you will think this is ridiculous, but until this point Matthew has stayed in his bed, literally, until we come in to get him in the morning. He doesn't get up. He won't even hop down to get his blanket if it's fallen. No matter how long he's been awake he'll wait until we open that door to get out of his bed. Not this week. For the first time the other morning we heard soft little footsteps make their way to our door. He ever so lightly tapped on the door. And then tapped again. Steven told him to come in and he did. He told us in a small little voice but with a big grin that he needed to go potty. So, everyday this week he's made his way to our room in the morning. Times they have changed!
