Shalet Godfrey

Dax loves to be outside and it is "never long enough". I take him out everyday while Lucas is sleeping (as Lucas hates to be cold). I follow Dax all over the place being his little friend for a while. Today, though, Dax's big best friend got to come home for a while during class and made an enormous snowman (all Dax and I mustered the other day was one about a foot high .. . pretty pathetic). Dax was surely impressed with his Dad's snowman making abilities!

It seems that every time I turn around these two are feeding off each other somehow. This week it's been "Let's take the drawers out and climb in".... and then cry cause we can't get out. Then we'll do our hair with just a little lotion and lastly we'll sit down and play a few games on Dad's friends' phone. Some days I'm so exhausted with these two. Hourly it's "Read us books, can I color, let's play a game, I want to play trains now tractors now legos, can I watch a movie, I'm really hungry, "Mil" (milk, milk and more milk--Lucas), read me a book, can I do my letters, etc. etc. etc."

I was thinking tonight though, as they were once again feeding off each other and laughing histerically in the bathtub while spitting water at each other that there is nothing so sweet as children laughing and playing and getting along even if it's just moments in time.
