So the last couple of days my kids have been playing so cute together. All of them (including Tyler). They have been sharing, and pretending, and coloring so well together with very few fights. I have really enjoyed watching them get along. And when Tyler leaves for school Brooklyn and Chris just keep on playing together. Brook tries to take care of Chris. She talks to him like she is his mother. I catch her calling for him "Chris 'Ol Buddy where are you, Where is my Buddy?" That is just what I say when I am looking for him. It is so cute.

The other thing is that Brooklyn has been so cuddly with me lately. She came up to me the other night when I was laying down on the floor and she laid her head on my pillow and whispered in my ear "I nug you mommy, soooo much" (nug means love). It was so sweet. And she keeps letting me know. I made some cookies today and as she was eating them she said it again, she said it this morning when I got her out of bed and she was giving me the biggest hug ever.

Yesterday I was talking to Suz on the phone and Chris and Brook were watching Sleeping Beauty. When it got over Chris hopped off the couch and turned off the TV, and then immediately started to cry out of control, so Brook tried to make him feel better..."It's ok bud, the movie aaallll over." So he started to yell at her "Not turn it off" I laughed because he was crying that he had turned off the TV and he didn't want it off. I told him that he could turn it back on and he did and then he came over and put his hand up at me and said "Not turn it off again!" Like I was the one that had turned it off.

Brook walks around the house talking to herself with her ear pressed in to her shoulder (like a crooked head). If you ask her what she is doing she will say "Talking to Papa" or "Talking to Nanny" or "Talking to Hallie" or "Talking to Maddie." She has whole conversations this way as if she is talking on the phone to someone. It is so cute.
