How Sweet They Are

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

It's been three weeks, yada yada yada.

So, last night, Abbie had an appointment at 6:30PM in Willow Springs, which is like, 45 mins away from where we live. (She said it was a beautiful little area...so I have a feeling we'll be driving down there one weekend to check it out). I had to be home early so she could leave in time. Her appt was to last about 1.5 to 2 hours. Bear nurses every 3 hours. So, putting that colledge edumacation to work, she could be gone for up to 3.5 hours.

That means Bear might end up getting hungry while I'm watching him. My thought, "Pshaw, he'll be okay."

Little did I know.

At 7:30, after all this time of the boys being really good and playing by themselves or with each other, suddenly, Bear decides he's going to fuss, chase me around the apartment, want to be picked up, and eat. So he goes on a 30 minute screamfest.

Now, usually, I can put him to sleep in a matter of minutes by rocking him in the La-Z-boy, but usually not around the 8PM timef rame when he gets hungry. So, I pick him up and we rock and rock and rock and rock and rock...nothing...just screaming............on his part, not mine...although I was close.

Cooper, all this time, is getting tired and is ready to go to bed (minus the big mound o' poop in his diaper). He's played by himself while I tried to work over Bear. So now he stands at my legs, watching me rock and rock and rock and rock with Bear screaming bloody murder. Coop crawls up into my lap on the opposite leg from Bear, sits there about 10 seconds looking at Bear, then says, "Awwww", leans over and gives Bear a big hug. No kidding, within a few minutes, Bear is quiet and starts to fall asleep.

It was the cutest thing. I think they're going to be very close brothers. :-)
