• Say Cheese!

  This is going to be a video-intensive post. I am putting that out there right at the top, so that when you start rolling your eyes and calling me obsessive about my children, you will have been warned. Here is a slight disclaimer on my behalf, though: I started this blog in large part for the sake of my dear mother who lives over 1,000 miles away. If I don’t post pictures and videos of my children, she may pack up and move in with me. Well, okay, she wouldn’t do that (love you mom!). But she misses her grandkids, so I am sharing them with her. The rest of you, roll your eyes if you want to. But I promise if you watch these you’re going to ooh and ahh anyway. It can’t be helped.  (I realize that I don’t usually address my readers directly, but I felt compelled to acknowledge and address the parental narcissism that is becoming prevalent in my posts. Don’t ask me why.)

  First, a gratuitous photo. William is playing with the giraffe Aunt Stephie gave him, and Stephen has a bear rattle on his wrist. Notice the wedge pillow between them? I had to institute this “separate but equal” rule when William learned how to scoot on top of his brother. There will be no smothering going on in my household! They start working on “survival of the fittest” young. . . and that came out morbid.

  

  Moving along. In my first presentation for your viewing pleasure, I present HAPPY BOYS. The wiggles and giggles that ensue when my sons see their mommy poking her head over their bed. This video is a warm-up for…

  BUMBO BABIES! They are best buds. William apparently thinks he is superior as first-born, as he calmly gazes at his brother then looks away while Stephen chats glibly.

  And lastly, in honor of the title of this post, SAY CHEESE! by William and Anna Kathryn. I was going to delete this because of the prominent pink foot, but the audio made me laugh.

  Okay, it’s over. You can stop looking now.
