Kid swap- Henry.

Last weekend, James and his family came over to meet Georgie. James wanted to stay and play, so mama told him he could come back this week. So she set up a morning swap. James came over to our house and June went to theirs to play with Andy.

Mama thinks she got the easy side of the deal. For the most part, James and I get along and play well together. There was a little sulking because both boys were trying to assert themselves as the leader. But the promise of juice boxes and Fruit by the Foot helped clear up any animosity.

After snack time, we painted suncatchers and rounded out the morning with a few rounds of Candyland. I won the fastest round of Candyland ever. James was a good sport about getting sent back to the beginning of the board over and over, but mama had to have a talk to me about being a sore winner. It was hard for James to be a good sport when I kept yelling "I'm winning! I'm winning!"


June had a great time at her playdate too. Here's a little back story. This play guitar goes in and out of vogue at our house. Lately, it's a big deal to June. She spent an hour sitting on her chair and playing it the other night.

So Andy has a similar guitar that plays Backyardigans songs. Apparently, June was so enthralled with one song, "Hold on Tight," that she spent the entire morning playing it over and over again. Lucky for June, Miss Kerri also has a CD with 36 Backyardigans songs on it and she made a copy for us. Too bad we haven't heard the other 35 yet. Every time a new sing came on, June pleaded for "Hold on Tight again!" So mama set it on repeat and we've heard it about 200 times now. But it's worth it because every time it comes back on, June is still pumped to hear it again! Plus, now she also insists on dragging the step stool over by the stove so she can listen and dance. How cute is that?

First bath- Georgiana.

If two kids in a bathtub isn't noisy enough, add one more kid to the mix.

Luckily, they didn't put me in the tub with Buster and Sister. They are crazy.

This is what life has become. Me screaming, Henry running around half naked, and Junie drinking bath water.

After I got used to it, my bath wasn't so bad.

The big kids have been getting lots of threats over getting too rowdy in the bathtub lately.

We mentioned that my umbilical cord fell off at the park. Mama attributes it to the fact that after my bath I got a nice warm up and dry off from the hair dryer. They really dried out my cord. Papa thinks my cord is gross, and mama agrees that the gunk underneath it can get pretty nasty. But a bath and a blast from the hair dryer got rid of that.

And to top it off, a nice cuddle with papa. Mama swears she has the exact same picture of papa with June. She just needs to find it.

After our bath, June asked to hold me for the first time. This picture is so darn cute.

June certainly has been regressing a bit. She doesn't want to be "big girl June," but instead "Baby June."

Lucky for her, she's so cute she gets away with sitting in the bouncy chair.

What a stinker.

After the kids went to bed, I got to stay up with Grandpa. That drives Henry crazy.
