Today I was telling the boys they have to be very gentle with Evangeline because she’s a baby girl. I said that they’re going to have to protect her because they are her big, strong brothers. In a very serious voice, Kai said “do we just gotta shoot boys?”
I have a lot that I probably should spend time writing. A few cute things the boys have said, an update on Evangeline. But honestly, I feel overwhelmed with how much I can write that I tend to avoid it. So for tonight, I’m writing a quick story because it literally just happened and I don’t want to forget it. The boys were getting ready for bed, I gave them hugs and kisses before they went in their room and Don put them in bed. A few minutes later, I hear cries from their room. Kai sounds upset. I walked in and asked him what was wrong. Through his tears he said “I love you too.” So I asked “you’re crying because you wanted to tell mommy that you love me?” He said “yeah” as he laid back down to go to sleep. Such a sweet moment that I don’t want to forget. Kai can be really whiny and stubborn sometimes. He can also be hyper and wild and climbing all over you. And then there’s the sweet smiley Kai that wants to give hundreds of kisses and hugs. The Kai that will interrupt me when I’m upset about something to say “guess what mommy? I love you!”
One more thing, this kid loves his baby sister!
