Four wheelers and Cuddle Bugs

Tonight we are making history in the Brown House...the boys are in their room for the first time. Ben and I have had one kid or the other in our room for the past three years, so we are pretty nervous about this milestone. Of course I am excited to finally be alone with my husband, although it may only last for a couple hours, it is a turning point that I believe will change my marriage, for the better I'm sure. The catalyst for our change was the room available in Miles's bedroom. We had an incident with a candle a couple days ago that almost burned our house down, but thankfully Ben was able to put out the fire without losing much more than the changing table, a few of the boys' clothes and a pack of pull-ups! We didn't really know what to do, given that the changing pad was gone and the top of the table charred, so I came up with the big move. It wasn't my first thought, as I still check on Kep during the night...but it is something that needs to happen, and there's no time like the present!

I will update in a few weeks to see how it's going!

Other than the move, we are all doing good. Kep has two teeth, is sitting up on his own and is such a mama's boy! He is a cuddle bug and LOVES me! I will never be able to fully express what this means to me. Miles was everyone's baby, he loved attention from anyone and I was nothing more than a meal on legs! He loved me, of course, but Kep wants me. It's awesome. I love the way he feels secure in my arms and the trust he has in me. It makes me feel like the best mother in the world when he looks at me with complete adoration, comfort and delight. He loves for me to hold him, while he lies his head on my shoulder and sucks his little fingers. He'll wrap his tiny arm around my neck and safely explore from his perch. It is amazing. I can walk into the room and lay my hand on him and he becomes calm, as though he knows it's okay now, mamas here. The sweetness of our relationship is unlike any other.

Miles is getting bigger and bigger! He is so smart. The things this bundle of boy comes up with is too much. He never meets a stranger and has unlimited amounts of opinions and stories to entertain his audience. Just the other day he said he was 'going to Mexico with Grandpa and Cale, because they have toys in Mexico!' He is so funny! He is obsessed with four wheelers and motorcycles, and we'll let him watch videos of them on youtube. Everytime we watch them, Miles will say, 'Look, look, Mommy! That's me! See me pop that wheelie??'! What a joy he is. He always surprises me with what he comes up with. I cannot believe he is almost three. Where has the time gone? He has changed so much, and Ben and I are so proud of him. Miles is truly the inspiration for all the good things we do and achieve. He has brought such purpose to my life, so much inspiration in such a small package! However does he manage?

More moonlight musings in the future, things are too good to not share these days.
