Brothers

So Grant was having a hard time getting to sleep the other night and Jason and I sent him back to his room about a hundred times.  He eventually stayed and we heard some commotion and talking, but didn't think much of it because we really wanted to watch an episode of LOST on DVD.  When I went to check on them later, Grant wasn't in his bunk, but had crawled up to Kyle's.  It was very cute and the next morning Kyle said "You know Mom, all Grant wanted last night was a little bit of company, so I let him come up to my bunk and I read him stories and we fell asleep together".   It almost makes up for the rest of the time they spend trying to kill each other.  Actually, I would say they get along about 75% of the time.  They both agree that they love Ryan though.  They both love to hold him, Grant will set down and say "Give him to me" and "Oh, baby Ryan, you are my best friend".  I let Kyle do a baby yoga/massage dvd with Ryan the other day and he took it so seriously.  Ryan for the most part loves it, but sometimes gives me a look like "are you kidding, leaving me alone with these two".  I actually took all three of them to the farmstead last Friday.  I always feel like taking all three on a successful outing is a bigger accomplishment the anything I have ever done previously.  It was a really nice day and Ryan had taken a good morning nap and ate well, so I decided to just go for it.  We all had fun, at least until we were watching the cow milking demonstration and I guess out of empathy for the cow (warning, stop reading if you have never been a nursing mom) my milk let down. 

 

In other news, Ryan was approved to receive the Synagis shot, which is a relief.  I got two letters from the insurance company, one saying he was approved the other saying he wasn't, so I called and they said he was but I am still keeping my fingers crossed.  He has his 4 month checkup on Wednesday and a followup with his cardiologist on Thursday, so it will be a busy week.
