Today started out as a gloomy day and turned into a great one. I am a little over 8 weeks pregnant and enjoying the lovely experience of "all day" sickness. So since the kitchen was clean, laundry done, and most of the house picked up I decided to relax and just enjoy being home. The morning was drama filled with a 2 year old that decided to throw a fit about everything. Then the baby wakes up and it is feeding time and playing. Canon has started to move around the room pushing himself so he played on the floor with everything. His favorite was a cable Boston left out (don't worry it wasn't plugged into anything). He played with it for probably 20 minutes. Then it was nap time for Canon and one on one with mommy and Katelyn. We played for a while until she decided she wanted to do her own thing. She went into the other room to play and then came in saying her cheek hurts and needs a kiss. So I kiss it better and she loved on me for a while then was gone. A minute later she was back for another make me better kiss and a hug. She did this for a while until lunch. Then it was time for nap time. She explained to me how her toys should lay on her bed, since baby doll was in froggy's spot (WARNING: don't get it mixed up you would think it was the end of the world) A couple more kisses and hugs and off to dreamland. Peace and quite for mom...
Then Canon wakes up and it is playtime with mom and then sister is awake. I went to her room to get her up with Canon and she gave him her Elmo and said I play with my horse. So we sit down and Canon just looks at Katelyn and starts squealing and giggling. I had never seen anything like it. They played like that for a while. She would look at him and he would squeal or he would look at Elmo and start laughing. I loved it! They played together for a long time until brother stuck Elmo in his mouth and broke sister's heart for biting her friend. As I was typing this Canon was sitting on the couch squealing and sister comes in it is giggle time. She is making him laugh, giving him loves, and sharing her toys.
I needed today so I could see how well my kids do together. Realize how grateful I am to be a mother of two and soon three. I know it is going to be a struggle, but another one will be a joy as much as these two. Canon will love this baby as much as Katelyn loves having him. She comes to the rescue when he is crying and tells him it is ok. She is a great big sister and he will be a great big brother.
