A gift only a mother could appreciate...

While Wyatt is a natural born stealer (and will use necessary force) Callie is more of a sharer. She has been sharing things with her momma and daddy for awhile now like her toys or pieces of food, but lately she has been sharing things with Wyatt too. Of course, sometimes she starts to share something that she decides is way too good to share and will change her mind mid hand-off. Recently, she's been sharing her juice cup with him and today I watched her pick up one of her cookies, walk over to Wyatt, and put it in his mouth. I gushed!

Yesterday, I took them over to play with a little friend, and Callie shared a toy with him too! I was so excited because although she has met J.P. before, it had been quite awhile since they played together. I was so proud that she shared with him also even though she didn't know him very well. I hope that some how I can preserve this pure little instinct of hers without introducing selfishness and allowing it to take over. They are so sweet and innocent right now that I can't help but want to freeze dry them sometimes.

However, I did not want to freeze dry her on Tuesday when she so lovingly shared a TURD with me.

That's right. The little stinker (and boy do I mean STINKER) very gently placed a ball of her own poop in the palm of my hand while she was taking a bath. It actually took me half a second to realize what she had handed to me. I think I even got out the "Thhhhh...." to thank her for sharing before I turned ghost white and tried not to start seizing right there on the bathroom floor.

This is a picture of girlfriend after I brushed her hair which was obviously a mistake. At some point her mop has got to start growing down, right?!?!

Here is a little video of Wyatt at dinner last night...

What a sweet spirit! We had so much fun hanging out with you the other day and hope that we will do it again soon!!! PS-don't worry about the bumpies thing. Thankfully Shelby hasn't mentioned them since.

Hope you are having a great day!

Pooping in the tub is a sport in our house. What are these little people thinking? They are adorable nevertheless!
