AMAZING...

Being an only child, it is absolutely amazing for me to see the bond between our boys. Even before Reed was born, Ray was in love. Now, they can't get enough of each other and are inseparable! Ray wants to help with EVERYTHING, although he's not so helpful all the time. He is such a great big brother and lets Reed get away with anything he wants to do to him which includes stealing his toys, pulling his hair, pinching him, and stealing food...Reed's favorite. Ray sometimes protests, but truly understands that the baby is just discovering things and that he needs to let him explore. They are funny, wonderful boys and I am so lucky to have them!

Here is a Ray story from yesterday.

Yesterday, I had to go to the jewelry store and I brought Ray along. As soon as we walked in, he spotted the two beautiful girls who were behind the counter and turned on his charm. He told them his name and asked them a million questions about themselves. While waiting, I happened to touch Ray's head and say that we needed to get him a haircut because it was like a mop on his head. He got really close to me and whispered, "Mom...that's embarrassing...we're in public." We all had to try and contain ourselves. He then decided to browse the cases and came across the men's watches. From across the store he announced, "Hey mom! Here's the man jewelry!" That earned him a lollipop and giggles from everyone in the store. The girls decided that Ray should make regular visits to entertain them. He has such a personality!
