Embrace the Camera

Build a Fort.
Bannock has been sick all week.  We've been stuck inside most of the time and with two boys in such a small space for three days I've started questioning my sanity.  So today between the nasaly requests for apple juice and the incessant shouts of "No! No! No!", I somehow managed to build a fort. So behold my masterpiece.  Did you know masking tape can be transformed into support beams? Me either. I thought about chronicling my progress through a little DIY but that seemed excessive. 




One last thing, OK two actually; Bannock's little voice when he's sick just tugs at my heartstrings, does anyone else ever feel that when they hear a little person with a cold? And Brecken has 2 new words! His first is (of course) No, and it's quite adorable to see him walking around with things he's not supposed to while saying "No! No! No!".  We're working on that.  And while I fully assumed his second word would be "stop" because it's only fitting, he chose "ball".  I had forgotten how tender it is to hear a baby turn their thoughts into words, to finally understand what's going on in their little, fuzzy heads.  So precious.

Embrace the Camera

Today I embraced the camera during nap time (I was snoozing but, yeah, I faked it for the picture).  I love the concept of Embrace the Camera; for us moms who take all the pictures but never get our pictures taken. I love nap time with buddy because he can go from crazy-angry-punk to sweet-baby-angel in the time it takes him to count six tractors driving up the hill to the apple tree (our new go to sleep technique).   I wish I had been capturing these moments long ago but it's never too late to start.
