Cade's a lover, not a fighter

This weekend we were thrilled to host Glenna and Cade! What fun. Vivian got to be excited about a playmate her own size. Well, of course, except for that Cade is quite a big man so even he was bigger than her.

Cade turned out to be all about lovin'. He is an except hugger and gives fabulous Eskimo kissed. Vivian was enamored.

Vivian attempted to return the favor and teach Cade how to crawl and eat puffs. He was not impressed.

Tasha and Aislinn also came to visit and we had quite the successful 3 family sleep-over, if we do say so ourselves. Pip took the opportunity to show Aislinn his new-found appreciation for ice cream cones and what do you know, she shared the same affinity!!

There were too many precious moments to recount, but a lasting one for Pip was the game of "1,2,3 go to sleep" that Aislinn taught him. She slept in her pack n play in Pip's room. After a rousing time in the bathtub, several books, and a few songs, they were told to settle down and go to sleep. All I know is I left the room and Pip was standing, feet atop the footboard of his bead, holding on to Aislinn's pack n play, and peering at her. Both were awash in giggles. We heard lots of laughing and talking until eventually they passed out. Pip told Phil the next morning that Aislinn and he were trying to time their sleep by counting to three and then saying "go to sleep!" Of course, this was too much fun to stop and actually sleep. Tonight Pip requested the game with Daddy ... there was lots of "1,2,3 ... go to sleep!" and "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ... go to sleep!" and "A,B,C,D,E ... go to sleep!" and 'twinkle, twinkle little star ... go to sleep!" and not a lot of sleeping.
