The Joy of Nephews!

On Friday I had a chance to baby-sit my two adorable nephews! Whitney wanted to go and help at the haunted house so she asked if I was interested in staying with the boys. It was no difficult decision...Of course! On the way from Frisco to Arlington I talked with Whit on the phone and could hear Ethan being a little pain in the rear! Oh, my, I thought ;-) But, both boys were amazing! Carson (1) is not at all afraid of "messin' with" Ethan (3)! It is hilarious to watch him try to "attack" Ethan! Ethan was a pretty good sport...except the time he hit "bubba" with the stick part of a stick-horse! Ethan did eventually apologize :-) Ethan and I performed in a rock band -- him on his electric guitar, me on the "stick-horse" guitar. I tried to make up a song as we played (my creativity and impromtu-ness is not legendary!). But, I would sing and pause for Ethan to fill in the blank: "Ethan is a rock-star, sitting in (his chair). He like to play (the guitar) and make lots of money (Ethan nodding!) With all his money he is going to buy daddy a (firetruck) and Carson some (pajamas) and Mimi (Marci) some (cake) and Jeff some (cake) and when they eat it they will get a tummy ache (Ethan nodding)." And so it went...lots of cake buying! I was pretty surprised at how easily he finished my sentence with only a little guidance! I think he is a genius!
Thanks, Whit and Chris, for the greatest nephews in the world!
