Princess

I think this story will be best told in a dialogue format, so here goes...

Jameson: Mommy, I need to give all my kids a toy car.
Mommy: Jameson, you don't have any kids.
Jameson: Yes I do. Kane is my kid.
Mommy: Oh, you mean your cousins.
Jameson: Yes, my cousins. I need to give one to Kane and Jace and Sam and Ana and Jacob and Jimmy and all Princess Lindsays kids.

I couldn't say anything after I heard that. I guess we all know how I rate. It's Princess Lindsay, but what about Mommy. I think I need to work on my Princess traits. Jameson is too funny.

What did you say?

Jameson hears everything. You can't say anything when Jameson is in the room and think he didn't hear it. He did, and he will let you know that he heard you later. Scott and I talked many times around the kids about what we were expecting when the new baby came. We were not sure if my water would break first like with the our first two children, or if I would start have contractions and just go into the hospital in labor first. We also would pray that Jesus would just let my water break, cuz we just couldn't wait to meet our little Gavin. Jameson, hearing this and not understanding what we were talking about, has been telling me lately that his "water" hurts. I had to tell him, "Honey, you don't have a water." He doesn't believe me. He thinks he does have a water.

Gavin

Gavin joined us on Friday, April 9th, 2010. He was 8 lbs 8 ozs, and 21 1/2". He was born with a broken arm. We now have to use an ace bandage to bind his arm to his chest. We are praying that it heals soon. We need to have him start moving his arm and make sure the muscles are going to work well so he won't need physical therapy. Jameson and Teagen both love Gavin a lot. They both are great little helpers. Teagen likes to give everything to Gavin. I mean everything from toys to cups and clothes and movies. Jameson likes to sing to Gavin when he cries. Our favorite song for a crying baby is "Jesus Loves The Little Children". It doesn't always work, but we have fun singing anyway. Gavin doesn't cry too much, only when he's not being held. We are all adjusting well to our new arrival.
