In the parking lot of Wal-Mart, I was trying to get Big A excited about riding in the basket. Aren't they ADORABLE?
I have been thinking for a little while about the things that make my boys special to me. I love them unconditionally and ALWAYS will but there are some things that make me smile almost daily.
Big A:
Announces when he toots now (thank you Bryan for pointing it out every time he did previously)
Gives/gets HIGH FIVES whenever he uses the bathroom or when Ga goes to the bathroom
Always looks out for little A; if he gets anything he expects his little bro to get it too
Talks in such a cute voice with cute words; for example when he says "tiny" he says it in a high pitched voice and he calls his binky that is cut "my broken one"
Loves to sing in the car and to be the only one singing or dancing but we are working on the fact that EVERYONE can sing and/or dance
Eats everything we give him (he went through a non-eating stage for a LONG time)
Best friends with Little A
Very Friendly, tries to talk to everyone (and I mean everyone)
Little A:
Says the first syllable of words (even though I have heard him say full words)
Hugs and Kisses (he puckers up across the room) - especially when I NEED it
Repeats "HI" or "BYE" at check-out counter until we are out door of store
Gets so excited about things: Blue's Clues, Bryan coming home, Backyardigans, choo-choos, coos (cookies, crackers), snac (fruit snacks), B (binky), drinks, bo (books)
Concerned about others- he can tell when Adam or I are upset/sad and gives a hug
Acts like a puppy
When doing something questionable gets a look in his eye that makes you wonder what he is thinking and up to
Best friends with Big A
There are more reasons that my boys are special but I really have a limited amount of time (Backyardigans is already half over).

I LOVE this post, Karin!! It makes me miss your little guys. I'm so glad you'll be here next week!
I'm going to steal your idea and list the reasons my kids are great. I think it will help relieve my grouchiness.
What a great post! I really appreciate that Ga gets high 5s for going to the bathroom, too. I wish I got high 5s for that. Especially the first few weeks after childbirth. If those were softeners, well, I guess that's TMI.
Such cute things! I think I need to go through and do this, too! Hopefully it can get rid of some of MY grouchiness! Oh, and we are planning to come to Disneyland this summer... My mom finally got Craig to agree. However, it might end up being during the time you said you'd be in Utah. Of course, right? :) I'll let you know for sure, when we decide. :) Where are you seeing Deena? Are you coming to TX?
P.S.
I just looked at Deena's blog and saw your comment. You'd come alone?
I like the kissy faces. Emily, we were so proud of you for your pee bag. We made a big fuss. We can high-five you for regular visits if you really want them.
Karin...I LOVE this post too. You just CAN'T come to Texas in July. I need to see you!! How 'bout coming in late June instead???? I'll be in Lake Powell in early July...argh! Ok...if I miss you in TX you better come visit me and Janel in Colorado!!!! HUGS!
Good news for Bryan:

Amanda wants to kiss his little, little, little lips. Hailey puffed up her lips and said, "look he does what I does." Amanda says, "I would hug Austin and Hailey would hug Adam every day. They miss you guys.
When you figure out a way to get them to ride in the basket without a fight, let me know. Your blog is really fun to read. You boys have gotten so big.
They are so sweet. You should move up north. Con misses his little buddies. When we first got to Em's he freaked out because he saw their picture on the fridge and had to carry it around for about 5 minutes talking about his Ausi and Adam. (That's right, he pronounces the Au and D now.)
Karin, I miss your boys too-and I've seen you THIS WEEK! That list is adorable-and so true.
