Last night we went to the park near our house. A quick, fun walk with my little men. Adrian is so fun. We get near the entrance to the park and he says "MOM! It's THIS way! Follow me!" hahaha and he takes off running through the gates.
Michael met us there and when Adrian saw him he came running and gave him a big hug. He looked at me and said "i love you" and i said "I love you too bugga" and he (as he's walking away) looks back at me, exasperated, and says "NO. mom. I love MICHAEL" jerk. hahaha.
After playing on the slides and things for a while, I sat down in the grass with Zayuh and blew bubbles. There are apartments right near the park, and I believe a whole community of Ethiopian families live there. When I started blowing bubbles about 50 kids came running and were jumping around yelling and laughing and popping bubbles and waiting for me to blow more. They were touching my hair (dreds) and smiling at me and being so cute. Isaiah was completely enthralled with so many kids. Just sat and stared and sometimes laughed hysterically when Adrian ran by eating bubbles.
I love my kids!

highland games
i seriously cannot believe isaiah is sleeping through the night. every night! from 8 to 7 today! EIGHT TO SEVEN.
and yesterday at the highland games he was sooooo good. sweet little man. everyone loved him. we would go sit in the field amongst the pipers and dancers and drummers and people flocked to him "oh look at his hair! a true scotsman" hahaha silly people. he smiled and played and talked and giggled and was soo good. he didn't nap once and we were there for 7 hours. and he was SOO GOOD. i'm amazed. helen's niece, elizabeth took him and wandered him around and rolled in the grass with him. he shared a banger with me. he had some lemonade for the first time!
he fell asleep on the way home, but duh! and he was still really tired when we got here, so i just fed him and put him down and he slept all the way through. :D
he didn't get burned but i did. haha.
this morning i brought him to bed with me, as usual when he woke up. i gave him a breakfast biscuit and he lay back on my down comforter with one arm above his head, completely relaxed, munching on his biscuit. i took a picture but for some reason i can't figure out how to post pictures in here!!!!!!!!!!!

zayuh
have you seen mars attacks? the aliens say "dot. dot. dat! dot. DAT DAT"
thats how zayuh sounds. hahaha. he's so cute. his hair is getting looong. i still dont want to cut it. people are going to start thinking he's a girl. but its so beautiful... i can't cut it.
he still crawls with one leg up and one leg down. and gets grumpy if i sit down and make him come to me. whiner baby.
he is now sleeping through the night every night. yes he wakes up at 5 and wants a boob. but he'll make it. i'm now getting at least 6 straight hours of sleep. its a fucking miracle.
