It is a blessing to be a human jungle gym!

Tonight, among MANY sweet nights but I just felt I had to write. These two are just THE funnest, funniest kids. I just love them so much. I'm sitting on Gracie's bed and Gracie's bringing me books to read, so I tell Zachary to bring me some because he's really into books, too. So he goes to the book shelf & brings me Clifford. He's so excited. His favorite book as of last week is The Eye Book, which was Gracie's first all time favorite book, she'd request it all the time, and so does he. This wasn't anything learned by her because she's not as into it at 5, she still likes it and all.
So we're reading and then he's like "NNN, NNN" because that means he wants to nurse, so he nurses for about 2 seconds because he's really over it, he just won't admit it. He's a busy dude but he's still my baby. He gets this idea to sit next to me and start blowing zerberts, however you spell that, and he has done this many times before but tonight he kept giggling the cutest giggle after and these zerberts were so farty, no wonder he was giggling so hard. Gracie started in and we just had fits of giggles. They are amazing little people.
We were about to say prayers and I said, let's pray to God, and he said "Gaaa" and then starts singing his "Hallelujah" song, and looking up. I was in awe, when he sings Hellelujah he gets so into it like he means it, it's precious.
Well I got interrupted, Todd was on the phone outside talking & it woke up Zachary, he was in there screaming, so I got to rock his sweet tush to sleep. He is a doll.
When I see a baby part of me wants another, but part of me just feels like it went too fast with Zachary and can't believe he's really coming out of being such a baby.
He's a little parrot, this morning Gracie was sharing her silly bands and they are cats, so he said "Kitty cat!" He says "buck" for his buckle in his high chair, which is a constant cycle of him crying, I say "what do you say?" "PEEZE!" I unbuckle and he's so excited jumping in his seat and can't wait to buckle it back, then it goes all over again until I say okay we gotta get out dude, let's go play.
We were feeding our friends turtles and fish so he says TURTLE now, which is so stinkn' cute. He says PARK,and "BUG G G G G G" he loves to pronounce that G over and over.
Gracie is so big, a giant really. She is at the point now where I'm asking, were you really that baby I vaguely remember? Were you really a baby? Gosh, it doesn't make any sense. Her legs are never ending. They are Todd's legs, I just love watching them walk together, it's so cute, they are shaped exactly the same.
She loves her brother. She's always asking to check on him when she thinks he should be waking up in the morning or from his nap. She is very mothering or just likes to be a little boss, probably both, but she has the best of intentions with him. They play and laugh so well together. He LOVES her, too. His eyes just light up when she enters the room. He is the most affectionate with her, gives so many kisses and hugs and they snuggle. I think it's so special they have each other.

So I will close at this for now, there is so much I could say, but all in moderation with all things, I have got to get some organizing done around this house, I'm almost done, little by little.
I need to write on our family blog more often, everything is worth writing about, but it's hard work being a mama and some days it is enough to keep everyone happy & fed & I can't say clothed because they don't really care about wearing clothes around here. :)
