Oscar in the morning


Oscar is usually very happy when he wakes up. He comes and gives me "wubs". The look he has on his face is the same look he gets when he gets out of his bed before he's supposed to. It's like he thinks he's cheating or getting a special treat by getting to get out of bed.

This morning was no different. We were in the kitchen. I was holding him and we were giving hugs and kisses, aka-wubs(loves). I pushed our cheeks together and looked in the mirror with him. Then Oscar said to his reflection:

"Hi,this is my mommy."

Larkin said something funny ... again.


I was in the kitchen. I could hear Larkin on her way saying this:


Larkin: I love you too Dad.

Now in the the kitchen.

Larkin: Hi Mom. I just told Dad I love him too.

Me: Oh, good!

Larkin: I love you Mom.

Me: I love you too Lark.

Larkin: I just love everybody!

Me: I love everybody too.

Larkin: Mom, don't copy me.

Life with Larkin #2

Larkin: Oh Mom, yay esophagus. I love esophagus. It tastes so delicious. I'm so glad you bought esophagus.

Me: Asparagus.

Larkin: Oh ya Asparagus.

Trav Master Flash

When Blake and I started having kids Travis just loved Lilly. I can still think of his sweet little voice, "How's LLLLLLLilly doin'?" Every time I saw him. He did the same thing when Larkin and Oscar were born. He loves babies and is so sweet with them.
He and Oscar have a special relationship. Travy is one of our best baby sitters. I remember the first night he and Emma came to babysit. Oscar got a diaper rash and had a ruff time. When we got home Oscar was crying and Travis was trying to comfort him. I quickly took over and Trav went into the other room by himself and was really upset. I put Oscar in the tub and let Travis come in and help give him a bath.
Church with a two year old is always challenging. But I can always distract Oscar with watching his cousin Trav. It's nice because he will sit still but sometimes he forgets to whisper.
"Where's Trav?"
"There he is."
"Hi, Travis!"
"Trav is bringing the bread."
"Travis has the water."
I love to see Travy's face trying not to smile.
When sacrament meeting is over, most of the time, he comes over and offers to take Oscar to Nursery for me. Plus he's usually already holding hands with another kid that needs to get dropped off at nursery too.
When ever I see Travis he asks where Oscar is. He is genuinely disappointed if I don't have him with me.
Thanks Travis for being such a good cousin.
Thanks also for being a good nephew. I love to read and watch movies with you.

Love you,
Aunt Nelly
