Rhodri's Lulliby

My sister in law wrote this song for her baby! You have to listen to it. Its beautiful and she has a great voice. Live and Love Music: Beautiful Baby: Rhodri's Lulliby : I finally did it.

Uncle Josh

We are here visiting family in California, and I wanted to dedicate a special post to my brother Joshua! He worked extra special to spoil Gratton! Not that everyone else hasn't too. But anyways. On with the story. Josh had picked up this adorable ship picture, and a book- Are you my mother- before we even got to California. He was thinking of Gratton before he even met him. And then he went to the store and bought Gratton some toys and candy. I may or may not have eaten the candy myself.I did give gratton the fruit snacks, but I'm a sucker for pop rocks! Gratton is still loving the toys though! He got him some water guns and little toy animals. The animals are perfect because at home he has the Noah's Ark ship that I got from DI, but he has no animals for it! Josh also got him some sidewalk chalk that I'm going to let him use today when we go back to my Moms house in Lancaster. My brother Joshua Boyd Bailey and I are four years apart. He got his middle name from my Da

So my little guy is going through a new stage, a clean stage. He goes and runs in the mud and literally rolls in the dirt and rocks, and picks up bugs like most little boys. Then he comes to me exclaiming, "mama" and holds out his hands for me, looking up expectantly. I always laugh because I know what he wants. He wants me to clean his hands and arms and whatever else he got all dirty. We're still in the car driving to Vegas, and he got messy doing something. He made me wash his hands and feet with a wipe, and then I just gave him the wipe because he still didn't seem satisfied. You can see in these pics that that made him really happy. Silly kid.

So we're driving through Vegas to California, and gratton wanted a drink at the gas station. I watered down some sprite and gave it to him. In the car, I glanced into the back seat and saw him doing something very interesting. He took the straw out and was putting his snacks (crispex and berry cereal) through the straw hole.. He was very proud of himself. I was mostly worried about him dumping it everywhere. I didn't want to stunt his creativity though, so I let him keep doing it. To my surprise, he didn't spill any, but instead let me know when he was finished, so I could take it away for him.
