Eamon-he cracks me up!

Tonight the boys were playing with baby dolls, Eamon had his and Aidan was playing with Guenna's. They were carrying them around and talking to them in little voices as a parent will often talk to a baby. It was really cute. At one point Aidan was talking about an "idea" he had, I think he was trying to persuade me to let him do something, but I was kind of tuning him out and then I heard this conversation between Eamon and his baby. "Do you have an idea? No, you don't have an idea, you just a baby." So matter of fact, and I was thinking, did I hear that right? So I asked him, did you just say...? And he said yeah, and repeated it. I thought it was hilarious, where did he get that concept anyway? So speaking of Eamon, we had a sweet time together tonight. Daddy was going to take both the boys on a quick errand tonight but Eamon kept crying whenever he tried to put him in the car, we weren't quite sure what was the matter but decided to leave him home with me and so my plans of being home by myself turned into a short date with my middle child. I quickly dealt with slight disappointment at the lost few minutes to myself and got some Eamon books that I know he loves. We sat on the couch and for about a half hour or so read to just Eamon, they were precious minutes and I know he felt the same as I did, these we our minutes all to ourselves. He didn't have to share my lap, he didn't have to hear his brother correcting his grammer, and I didn't have to worry about not having enough attention for him. I think he needed that today, and I could see by the look on Aidan's face when he and daddy returned that he needed those precious minutes with daddy, all to himself. I love my Eamon, he is a beautiful little two year old boy, he is so sensitive and sweet. He loves to snuggle with mom, and he's becoming quite the counter and ABC'er! I know many people think that three years is a nice gap between children (which I don't doubt it would be!) but if we had waited we wouldn't have our precious Eamon, thank you Lord for blessing us with him, he is such a gift!
