big boy Levi in his big boy bed

 
He looks so little in it.

We moved Levi into a twin bed last weekend. It is really nice waking him up from his nap now; just go lay down by him.  I don't know if you can tell but Levi's a very cuddly little guy! --I have to be careful though when Jeff "puts Levi down for a nap" ... Jeff never returns, he just takes a nap with him now.
Some memories I don't want to forget in regarding the boys' night time routine:
It's not a "good-night mommy," it's a "supper-good-night mommy!!" with the boys racing across our house and Seth asking "Can you feel the wind?!" because he's running so fast.
Sethy is cuddling with his new addition, "Bongie." I don't know where he comes up with his stuffed animals' names.  There's a dragon named Broggy, a rabbit named Chaunger, and of course Baby Bear who is a girl not a boy.

Jeff brushes their teeth at night, and to get the boys to open their mouths wide he sings, "Smile, you're on daddy camera." (to the tune of "smile, you're on candid camera."

Levi, always looses his stool, and has to search the house for it in order to reach the sink.

They both have to drink from the faucet after they brush their teeth .

The boys' prayers are my favorite, tonight Seth's went like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for mommy, thank you for daddy, thank you for Levi, thank you for Raya, thank your for my pillow, thank you for mommy's fragile camera, thank you for my shoe, Jesus Christ Amen.

Levi's: "thank you for mommy, thank you for daddy, thank you for mommy, thank you for daddy, Jesus Christ, Amen." -- they are grateful, that's foresure!

Every night we sing to them, the boys were really stuck on this song Jeff made up:
"I was driving in my magic car, just to see right where you are,
And what did I see in the park? (Boys choose an animal, for instance a Bear)
A Bear? A Bear! 
And what did he say?
boys: "rararararararaaaa"
(couple more animal choices with the song ending with Raffi)
And what did I see in the park? Raffi!
A Raffi? Raffi!
And what did he say?
Baa baa black sheep have you any wool (sing rest of song).

The boys really love their Dad.  He is so cool and will make up many stories and songs on the fly.

And... of course... pictures of Raya I took today. 
Is it weird that I like the sad ones as well as the happy ones?  Raya doesn't get upset too often, but when she does it's super quick and loud!

I love the big boy beds. Your little family is growing up to be so cute. I can't believe Levi looks. He really looks grown up. I guess thats what big boy beds do. Raya is adorable. I love the tutu.

lol, Sam got a twin bed this weekend too! He was shaking his crib toddler bed so hard that the screws were falling out!!! And yes, I wanted to lay down with him. :P

lol, Brooklyn loves to "feel the wind" too. Sillies.

HA! One of Brooklyn's favorite songs is one made up on the fly:
"When the sun goes down, and the stars come out. Then the world is quiet and the moon comes 'round." My kids are obsessed w/ the moon... What great stages these kiddos are at...so vivacious. love it!!

Oh, and the screaming/crying photos ARE just as good as the happy ones because we sure as heck know that our kids are NOT happy and smiling 100% of the time, lol.
