Ups and downs

I looked over this morning at my middle child while he was reading to my youngest two. I saw him with his head towards Ollie and thought Oh how sweet! Only to realize he leaned into him to teach Ollie to say I am a moron. Which Obviously Ollie had no idea of the definition of moron. He just thought it was some cool thing from the wimpy kid books.... Horrible mommy when I realized my mistake I started giggling and had to pull myself together to do my mother duty "Sebastian you should not.... "
It's so weird to watch the ups and downs of relationships. One minute they are the very best of friends then the next minute one is clobbering the other. Sometimes it's a heartbreak like today when Nadia and Francesca left Sebastian behind while they went to a friend's. Sebastian stayed behind and cried,it wasn't the first time. Sadly in this it's his faults that have been the cause but the hurt is still there. He can be rather difficult to manage sometimes so Nadia would rather not take him.
Ike and Nadia are the closest of friends so I know there is yet hope for this set of young ones. I remember Ike and Nadia arguing over whose turn it was to play house or army and they survived their ups and downs. There is a special bond when you grow up together it's a shame so many of us let that go wayside. I'm guilty. The older I get the more I'm convinced that relationships are the most valuable thing we have and I wish I had invested more in keeping them close. After all who else but my brothers remember tickling me till I peed my pants or and the issue with my Dad's steel toe boots "CAPISH!!!!!"





It was actually hot for a few hours today! I did a bit more yard work but then it started to rain on me. Kitty found the bumblebee so intriguing,you can just barely see the bee in the picture. She followed him all around the garden. Then started hollering for her boyfriend. Yes kitty has a boyfriend we've seen him and we are so excited to have babies!
