Big brother practice!

Yesterday Kallen and I were blessed to have Dawson with us again! It is so funny when I say "Brandy and Dawson are here!" Kallen's eyes light up, and he immediately runs for the door. Most of the time Dawson comes in asleep, that is until Kallen gets so excited he squeals and wakes the little man up. Yesterday was no exception. Kallen immediately ran over to Dawson's carrier and put his head on D's (Kallen's way of giving a hug and showing affection). He then proceeded to clap his hands together, bend over, and squeal with excitement! That love for Dawson never dwindles throughout the whole day! Kallen is constantly wanting to sit by (or on top of), play with, hug, kiss and talk to him!

Well we had a beautifully sunny day yesterday, so the three of us spent some time outside. We sat D on a blanket, because I'm pretty sure twigs and leaves are not part of his diet yet, and Kallen was continually going over to him to make sure he was okay. He would say a few words, show him a few things on the toys, then move on his merry way!

Then we went out front, and sat Dawson in the stroller while we all explored the yard! Kallen was a little confused why he wasn't in the stroller, and someone else was, but he soon found out it wasn't all that bad. He started pushing D everywhere and talking all the while. I'm pretty sure he was telling him all about rocks, mud, and grass since that's what he was looking at while pushing. Good thing I was around to steer him clear of the road!



The love Kallen shows for Dawson, is I'm sure just the beginning to how things will be when the new baby arrives. I can't wait!
