Give Away

Cael just came to me very serious with his eyebrows in a total scowl and said, "Mom. I think we need to give Tobey (that's how he says Colby) away." Then he just sits there looking at me serious as a heart attack. I asked him why he would ever say that. He replies, "Because he makes WAY too many messes. And now he is messing up MY room!" Cael has taken on this "task" of being a big helper. When he peed without a stool yesterday, he said, "Yes!!! I am getting to be big like my brothers! I can reach the toilet!" Then he informed me that soon he would be a boy, not one of the babies. He comes to me about 8 times a day and says (while studdering a little), "Mom. We have...have...mom we have a situation (trying so hard to say the word correctly he announces every sound of the word very carefully)" Then he tells me about the next crazy thing Colby is currently wrecking. It made me sad that he wanted to give him away! He would only last about 1 day before he would miss Colby WAAAAAAAY too much. They are total buds. Cael just mostly tries to keep him out of trouble, and Colby follows his EVERYWHERE and does everything Cael does, but they play well together. Love my babies (soon to be singular according to Cael, only one Baby will be left when he gets lumped into the status of Boys!)
