\"\"<\/a>Have I told you about Lex
\n lately? How sweet and amazing he is? How wonderful and lovey he
\n is? How very, very fortunate we are to have him?<\/p>\n

For about a week we’ve been playing a silly
\n game. He says, “Mom, do you know who I love most?” and I
\n proceed to make silly guesses… “Mickey Mouse?” Each guess is
\n sillier and makes him laugh more. After three or four guesses
\n he says, “It’s you mommy!!” and he runs over to give me a hug.
\n Then I say “ooohhh, I’m such a lucky mommy!” We do this so
\n often that sometimes I can’t even make breakfast because he
\n gives me so many hugs! Eve likes to play too, but her version
\n is more like, “Who I love best? You!! Ooo, such a lucky mommy!”
\n all in one stream. :) Yesterday he decided that he also loves
\n Eve and Dad most too. So the game now ends with “I love you
\n most! And dad. And Eve!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After bath tonight I sent them
\n into the living room to pick stories while I put the dirty
\n clothes in the laundry. I do this most nights and I usually
\n return to find them both playing. Tonight I came into the
\n living room and found them sitting together in the chair and he
\n was reading a story to her. He told me that he was going to
\n read her all of the library books for bedtime stories. I, of
\n course, grabbed the camera and made a movie of him reading. I’m
\n sure you’re all bored of movies of him reading by now, but I
\n love to hear it. I love his voice. I love how he reads. After I
\n put the camera away I asked if I could sit with them and Lex
\n decided we all needed to move to the couch, with him in the
\n middle. He read us three stories and then Eve got too crazy and
\n I had to put her to bed. Sadly she isn’t very good at going to
\n bed these days, but Lex was super sweet and read stories to
\n himself while I tended to her. After awhile I told her I had to
\n go take care of Lex (left her crying in her room). We played
\n with his trains until the clock chimed (our life revolves
\n around clock chimes) and then he went right to bed. I was
\n dealing with her for quite awhile and he stayed calmly and
\n quietly in his bed. I think it took him awhile to fall asleep,
\n but he was just soooo sweet!<\/p>\n

I’m so
\n proud of the nice person he is growing in to. We are all so
\n lucky to have him in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
