Henry and Emmet have been so adorable lately, I have to capture some of the memories.
Last week I spent the day in Newton. Emmet wasn’t feeling well and got pretty sick by the end of the day so he was mellow and stuck close to Leah all day. That meant that I got pure Henry time. Usually Henry is pretty shy but he greeted me with a huge smile and loud, “Mammaw!” We played alone the two of us in his room quite awhile and he spent a lot of time on my lap. I soaked it all up! When I was leaving, Henry said, “Gammaw, wait!”
Emmet always gives me the sweetest hugs and smiles. When he was napping, Leah was resting and Emmet had an accident. I helped him change then laid down with him. I tried to nap, our faces about 3 inches apart. Every time I popped an eye open, Emmet was looking at me and smiled so sweetly.
Scott and I went to Newton yesterday to deliver and pick up some furniture. This time, Henry wasn’t feeling well and was pushing up on nap time. But even his little tantrums were adorable. He lays down and pulls his knees up under him and puts his face in his hands and sobs the most pitiful sounds. Leah does NOT think its cute at all.
We played cars and tracks with both boys. Emmet is so patient and helpful with Henry, giving him turns without being asked, and helping him retrieve cars. At one point when Henry was crying because he was so tired, Emmet said, “It’s ok, he’s two.”
Henry was funny. During dinner he brought me a wad of toilet paper at the table and told me to wipe. He says the absolute cutest funny things, his words for things and facial expressions.
Emmet tells huge, long stories with all kinds of details. Scott spent the longest time throwing the boys on the bed while they laughed and laughed. They love Scott so much and don’t see as much of him as they do me, so when Scott is there, they are both ALL about “Papa.”
