Cutest Little T.

Little T. is just so cute. He is 22 months old now and he is so fun right now. This morning as the boys were getting ready to head out the door, he grabbed his oldest brothers lunch box and turned to me and said "bye mom" and went out the door with two of his brothers. He was in his pj's still and in bare feet but he was going as fast as he could (he knew I'd be after him shortly). He made it all the way to the corner going just as fast as his little legs would carry him in hopes of being able to get on the bus with his older brothers. A few minutes after we got back to the house, he started trying to find out where Daddy is. He's been doing this for a couple weeks now. He goes around the house saying "Daddy work, Daddy work, Daddy work" until he is satisfied that he really is gone to work. Finally he'll go to the door to the garage and say again "Daddy work" before moving on with the rest of his day. We sure do have cute kids!

The Bus

All three of the older boys are now in school all day long. I thought Little T. would have a hard time not having his brothers to play with during the day but surprisingly enough he has done very well and even seems to enjoy having the time to play by himself with various things. He's been fine for a month but the last few days he has had a problem with letting the boys go out the door to the bus. He cries and tries to push his way out the door saying "bus, bus" to go with them. Yesterday the older boys were gathering their lunches and Little T. went to get a bag with a handle and carried it around with him. Again today, he wanted a lunch bag like his older brothers so I gave him one with a couple snacks in it. Fortunately I seem to have resolved the crying when the boys go out the door. We've walked to the bus stop the last couple days and Little T. loves to see the bus. We wave "bye bus" after the boys get on and then he watches the bus drive away. After that he is totally fine. Hmmm, maybe it's not that he doesn't want his older brothers to leave, maybe it's just that he wants so badly to see the "bus".
