Bobby Firsts

this week has been so fun for me! partly because i thought it would mean a hard-nosed week in the office preparing for taxes...until i realized that i need bobby's social security card...and that would take at least 8 weeks...plus me finding a day to actually go to the social security office (sans kids of course)...so then i found an accountant and started the filing for an extension (2nd year in a row...woot!) so instead of being in the office all week for taxes, i took my kids on all kinds of adventures...the park, the beach, random walks around the block, some chopping (shopping) and just tried to enjoy the tantrum-free times and soak it all in.

most of the time when we have a free day i let bryson decide what he wants to do...i know that come fall he will start school...for the next 12 years...and i won't get this time with him...so he wanted to ride scooters and hunt for treasure (geo-caching) so that is what we did on thursday. bodie really wanted to go in the swing, and i had forgotten my ergo, so i put bobby in the swing too and oh goodness he was so so happy! i snapped this pic and sent it to bryan and he said it totally made his day. i think he was in a meeting or an audition and i know that he would much rather be with the boys than either of those things, so its fun that we are able to share our days with the boys with each other. i think for a long time i was jealous that he "got a break" from the kids, but because we switch off watching them and he truly knows both jobs in and out, he would take being a stay at home dad any day! except when either of us are sick...then we go in the office...because lets face it...its much less physically demanding sitting in front of a computer all day...i never thought that working in an office would be my "sick day"....hello motherhood! you dont get to be sick!

anyway...bobby is also taking baths now with brother - now that he can sit up - and he loves it soooo much! its just unfortunate that bodie takes anything he is holding...but other than that he is happiest during bathtime! tonight i put all three in the tub for a little bit and i couldnt help but think of "rub a dub dub...three men in a tub" gave me a good idea for halloween costumes!
