A cute memory and funny observations

Wow - it has been a while since I last updated our blog! I have honestly not thought about it much at all in the past six months; but now that I'm not working anymore, the importance of preserving the memories and sharing our life with you resumes. I will do a 'catch you up' post later; but this one is so I remember these things later.

The First Wolfe Girls Slumber Party:
Ellie loves getting Aubrey up when she wakes from her slumber - whether in the morning or from naps. She greets her by herself and gets in the crib to play with her. I have learned that although Aubrey may fuss at first, if I just wait a minute, they'll soon be laughing and then quiet play time ensues - music to a mommy's ears! The other day I walked in and Ellie had put as many bows in Aubrey's hair as she could (Aubrey loves bows in her hair!)

When it was Aubrey's nap time yesterday, Ellie said she wanted to take a nap with her. Now, Ellie has not napped in FOREVER, so when she suggests a nap I do not put up a fight! Ellie attempted to sleep on the floor and Aubrey was in her crib. I left the room...no crying from the little one - so I continued with my tasks. Soon, the sounds of little girls playing when they're supposed to be sleeping filled my ears with joy. I didn't care that they weren't sleeping - I know the talking and playing happens first and the sleep later. But they never slept, and that was okay with me. I'm happy for the bonding they are doing. It reminded me of Amy and I sharing a room - which Aubrey and Ellie will be doing by the end of the summer! That was their first slumber party!

Funny Observations:
You know, by the time you get to the third pregnancy (and I'm sure any subsequent pregnancies, although praise God, I won't know anything about that) you've heard everything anyone has to say about you being pregnant. It starts with 'Your life is about to change' and progresses to 'Oh, boys are different' or 'Your hands are gonna be full'. Yes, they will be full - with precious cargo that I wouldn't trade for anything. Yes, boys are different...Really? They're more active...Really? I actually know some girls who are just as active (although not mine!) I'm married to one. My dad is one. I have two brothers. I know BOYS ARE DIFFERENT. God made them different - I know this and I am THANKFUL for this. Because this means a little less whining and a lot less emotions! I welcome that change. 'You're due in September? That means you'll go through the summer - ugh!' Really? Is that what that means? Sometimes I don't say anything while other times, I let them know it's not my first time to the rodeo. I'm glad I'm going through the summer. That means I get to wear flip flops and tank tops and go swimming and sit under fans. It also means we'll have huge family birthday parties and that will be a special tradition. You know, if it were socially acceptable, I may look at people like they have two heads sometimes. In my better judgment, I try to be gracious in responding:)
