Babies and Undies

We have had one crazy busy week here at the Scadden Home. This week-end we went down to St. George to attend Grandma Steven's funeral. The services were lovely. I especially loved hearing Mom and her sisters talk about memories they had of Grandma. The musical number "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" was sweet. I only got to know her for three years, but in that short time she earned an enormous amount of love and respect from me. She was a beautiful woman.

Earlier in the week, my cousins daycare person left for her brother's wedding. So I was asked to watch the babies. For two days I had five little ones packed into my 700sqft house. It was loud and crazy at times, but I loved it.

There were the three babies Payslie, Jordyn, and Penny. They were so cute to watch. Penny was ecstatic to have other little kids around. So much so that I think she scared Payslie a bit with her enthusiasm.

We also had Abram's buddy Taylor with us. I use to watch her on a regular basis and they became pretty close. It was fun to watch them play together and get each other going. The house was pretty crazy for those days but I had so much fun. It made me feel good to know I could definitely handle five kids, though I don't think I would want them all to be under the age of three.

This week we also started putting Abram in undies. He still pines for his diaper (especially after this weekend with nothing but). He will at least put them on and he has only had three accidents while wearing them (that may not be good stats for some people but for me they are great).

We even attempted a short trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house in them. This pic is funny because my mom gave him a bowl of ice cream and, rather than sitting down to eat it, he took it into her room, laid down next to Grandpa, and ate it like he would have. Kids are like little mirrors.

I'm glad to see when my little mirrors reflect good things though. I'm so glad to see that my children love each other.

They seem to love each other so much they make spontaneous heart shapes in their sleep :)
