My mom, grandma Jenny, is coming to visit on Wednesday. She will be staying with us until Sunday. What a great way to spend our Mothers day! She has not seen the boys since our trip to Kalamazoo in December. I keep asking her what she wants to do while she is here and all she says is "play with those boys." Of course I know we will go shopping! I bet we will also drink wine and Margaritas, watch movies, have coffee on the deck, eat lots of junk food, and talk all night. I can't wait!
Well the weirdest thing is happening with Jack. There is this song on a cartoon that when I sing it he cries. It first happened the other day. I kept singing it and he was crying but it took me a while to figure out that it is that song. So of course I grabbed the video camera and started singing. Sure enough he started crying. It's not a mad or loud cry, it's a soft almost sad cry. Chad can even sing the song different than me and Jack will get sad. The words are "You are my best friend, I love you." I can sing any other song and he likes it but this one touches a nerve. Chris, our Parents As Teachers lady, is coming Thursday so I will ask her about this. It's so crazy. I wonder what he is associating the song with?
The boys are definitely calling me "mama." Every time I leave the room or go out of their eye sight they both chant "mamamamamama." We even went to the mall today and Adam was being a little fussy so I picked him up, the whole time I was holding him he was yelling "mama, mama, mama." It was cute but Adam has a loud voice so it echoed through out. All of the grandmas and moms that heard him smiled or laughed.
You will be relieved to know that I read in my "What to Expect, the First Years" book that babies banging their heads is normal. Regarding my previous post about Jack banging his head. Apparently he is learning about rhythm and that is his way of expressing it. Hey, if that's what the book says I'm going with it. Chad and I just thought he would be the athletic baby...
