Three's a Crowd

I am so glad our boys love their mei mei (little sister)...sometimes though it seems like she can become another competition between these loving brothers.  Today they were both trying to entertain her and kept vying for her attention.  Actually, the boys have been playing together surprisingly well the past couple of weeks.  Austin does get his "bossy big brother" on and Bennett will end up in tears at some point most days, but they do love love each other and are having fun playing "train" (one on the top bunk, one on the bottom riding the train), "hotel"- our curtains are the elevator, the Boppy game- where they take my Boppy pillow and chase each other and so on.  Here is the cutest crowd of three around these parts:

A: "Hey Mei Mei look at these shapes"

 B: "No Mei Mei look at this computer!"

 "Mei Mei, Mei Mei look at me, look at my toy i picked for you!"

 "Ok, we can show her together"

So happy together... What Lucy really loves is people and eye contact.  She is entertained by toys these days, but if you leave her alone long enough she will get kinda fussy.  But if someone goes and looks at her and talks to her, she is all smiles.  Or if we put her where the boys or boys and their friends are playing, she is VERY entertained.  Maybe we finally have an extrovert in the family?  Hard to know...Bennett was a VERY extroverted baby but not so much these days.

Also I am happy to report Chris got home safely last night...tired but it was a fun reunion for all of us.  he brought me enough wheat germ to last till May, NYPD matchbox cars for the boys and 2 new pair of slim pants for Austin and a belt from Lands End.  However, they STILL seem to fall off of him. He has a constant crack showing these days, my little skinny boy, and I am not sure what else to do about it. These Lands End purchases were sort of a last resort...maybe I will post a picture sometime of the problem.
