the binky fairy

There is a binky fairy in our house. If I leave Theo unattended for even a moment, without fail, I return to find a binky in his mouth and a blanket neatly tucked around him.

Though I've never seen him in action, I'm pretty sure I know which sweet little boy to pin this on:

Determined.

(mission: sandcastle)

Malcolm is a force to be reckoned with. Maybe it's a 3rd child thing, but he is intent on not getting overlooked and invariably makes his voice and opinion heard. As we've discovered, he has his own agenda and is not easily dissuaded.

He is very driven to keep up with his older brothers and always expects to be treated as an equal (a little tricky at nap-time). He is also quite capable for a two year old. Watching him effortlessly navigate RB's phone and my ipad ("mai ipadd!!") is impressive.

As soon as we learn how to harness this focus and will, I know it will serve him well in life. 'Til then, oh boy.

Noah loves Bowser as much as a little boy can love a dog.
