JB's interactions

The boys are really starting to have fun with JB, now that he is on his own two feet. B wanted to sleep with him the other night, so I gave it a shot. They did great. It took JB a minute or two to realize it was bed time but he settled right in. We have put a lamp beside their beds and letting them read for a few minutes each night. Amazing how quickly the guys will settle down on their own. JB loves to look at books too in his crib. B is now tall enough to get JB out of his crib and Jbird loves getting JB out of his high chair. Jbird has also been putting on JB's diaper and pajamas at night.

Just yesterday JB starting shaking his head yes. Even without words, he has not even been shaking his head yes or no. It all clicked for him now. He is using the sign for 'more' and 'drink' appropriately. I am working on the sign for help and please. It is amazing how much easier things are with just one or two more words.

Jbird's friend John has been spending about 1 day a week with us. His mom has started working but it is on a as need basis. Thankful for the distraction for Jbird and a little extra money for me. We watch him from about 8:15 until after 5. The boys usually do great until about 2 or 2:30 pm. The other day I heard one of them say 'well, I don't love you' to which the other reply 'well I don't love you either'. Then it got quiet and one of the boys said 'well, you like me don't you'. Just love to listen to them.

I am continuing to work on the house. I still like my schedule, especially the laundry schedule. Everything else in my house gets hit at least every 2 months. I have been threatening for a long time to get rid of toys and finally decided it is time. Now I just need to find the few missing parts and then I hope to have a Craigslist party - saving up for the increased gas prices that are coming - hoping they don't keep me from my road trip this summer.

Tried all day to download a video of Jbird but to no avail. I am tired but will try again in the morning.
