Hold Baby

Going Home with Grayson

All Three--Picture Perfect

This is what happens sometimes...most times...when I try to take pictures of all three of my completely calm, still, and non-silly boys.  Picture perfect.

Today: August 16, 2013

While Austin was napping, Coop and I took advantage of the fact that it wasn't 100+ degrees outside.  We set out a blanket in the front yard and laid down in the grass with baby Grayson between us.  On his own, Cooper began to tell Grayson about the different trees we saw hanging over us.  He even told Grayson that you can get syrup and honey from trees.  Cooper pointed out when birds were chirping nearby and when an airplane flew overhead.  He picked some grass and showed it to his little brother, "Grayson, this is grass.  Does it tickle your nose?".  Then Coop turned to me and said, "Grayson likes nature.  He's using all his senses to learn about nature."  I love that little boy. 

Grayson started to get a little tired, so we went to the porch to rock him.  Cooper picked out two big brown leaves--one for me and one for him.  They were our rocket ships and we were going to fly them to outer space.  While I rocked Grayson, Coop and I flew our leaf rockets to different planets, avoiding meteor showers along the way.

Today was a great day.  It felt normal.  It felt easy.  We've had more good days than difficult ones since adding a new little one to our family, but today was just a little different for some reason.  All the stars aligned and everything, all day, was easy.  And everyone, all day, was happy, well behaved and easy.  Maybe I can do this stay-at-home-mom-of-three thing after all...
