Suited Up

So the $4 Ralph Lauren seersucker suit makes it's third appearance! Each boy at Easter at age two! (Colt was one month shy of 2)

Gotham City, SC

So I've been working on Gotham City murals for the big boys' room for the past few weeks. Wyatt was the one who asked me to do them, but it has been Colt who has really enjoyed them.

I did the cityscape and Batman first. Colt has been waiting patiently for his Robin.

When I started it a few days ago he pulled up a chair beside me and every few minutes he would stroke my arm and say, "Mommy, I love you. You are the best Mommy."

It was fun to watch his joy that someone was doing something especially for him. A reminder to me that middle child needs to feel important too!

New Treat

So we don't let the boys have soda often, but last night we decided to try out a new dessert. Root beer floats.

They loved them, Colt said, "Mommy, can I please have some more root beard."

Don't cut his arm off

So we went back to the doctor to have Zane's cast removed. The big boys were very concerned about "the saw" and wanted to come along.

They kept saying, "Don't cut his arm off!"

He was terrified of the noise and and screamed in terror the whole time. Big brothers were quick to comfort!

Good news, new bone has grown around the break, but he isn't completely healed. So, new cast it is!

Wyatt and Colt tried to convince him to go with "Batman black" this time...but the little boy chose "geen."

The nurses gave him a little bear to make him feel better. He named him, "oweee bear."

In the nude

So after dinner I head up to the bedrooms and find the big boys in their birthday suits.

I say, "I thought Zane was taking his bath first?"

"He is," Wyatt says, "We just like being naked."

More cake, pease

So the littlest Hampton had a birthday this past week. He loved every bit of the festivities, but mostly the cake.

And not for the gooey frosting or moist, fluffy cake! The boy loves to blow out candles.

Every time he blew them out he'd stop and smile, say, "I did it!" Then he'd pause and say, "More cake, pease."
