My Two Sons

The boys have been a slight handful lately - Lochlain is testing boundaries as we try to potty train him and get rid of B-I-N-K-Y (er, sorry - used to spelling it to Bean). Jeanine likes to tell Lochlain: "I don't like that binky!" to which Lochlain will reply "I love binky!" Sometimes Bean will take the binky away from Lochlain and throw it into another room - to which Lochlain will say: "Oh No! Binky!" and promptly chase after it. He also got into the vaseline again...but we were onto him quicker this time (just had it on his hands).

Seanie wants to walk - BADLY. He is doing a kind of worm like movement now when left on his own - he'll get up on all four knees as if he is about to crawl, then jump forward like a jungle cat pouncing on some unfortunate prey (the prey usually being his Mommy). And that kid can move in his walker! I have been thinking about racing him, but I can't really find any other Dads around here who want to have their kids compete.

If you're not doing anything for Easter - you're invited to our house. My new plan is to make Easter a big mish-mash of all sorts of guests. Should be a lot of fun - just like these videos:

Loch Star:



And for you Seanie fans:

My goodness. If only Loch had a mohawk for his Loch and Roll--perhaps that is the allure behind the Vaseline...
And Mr. Sean, that little hiccup thing is ridiculously cute. Is he imitating something when he does that? Adorable.

oh i wish i could watch these videos but they get blocked...so much for playing on the computer at work.
however, i must weigh in on this "getting rid of binky" conspiracy you two have going. um, my dear dear cousin, must i remind you of the trauma that followed that fateful day you arrived home from school to find your blankey GONE! and just a small square left in it's place? like some psycho calling card... personally i wasn't the same after hearing about the "lovey covey massacre" and made my mom swear, promise, and swear again that she'd never do that to me.
spare the loch man.
love the binky.
we all have transitional objects...come on, you know you do...maybe nowadays it's just called b-e-e-r

Feath: Bean is lightly blowing on Sean's face to get him to make that face.

Beth: Watch the videos at home! They all rock - esp. the one from the Hide and Seek entry. Lovey covey is whole and hearty here in NC. And Bean's transitional object nowadays sounds more like w-i-n-e.
