Sweet, sweet boys.

We were watching AFV today as a family and my sweet Hayden was so cute.  He has this gift for being sympathetic toward someone in physical pain.  As Allen and I were cracking up over people flipping over their bikes and falling off trampolines, Hayden was straight-faced.  He loved the animal and baby ones but didn't laugh at all when people got hurt.  At one point they showed a girl hysterical that she was about to get a shot, and I looked over and Hayden had tears in his eyes.  What a sweet, sweet boy!  He has really developed a love for reading lately.  Right now he is reading "The Mouse and the Motorcycle," which he got for Christmas this year.  The other night he said to me, "Mom, I really like video games, but I'm starting to like reading even more than video games."

Torrin is also very sympathetic, but different in that he is very aware of people's feelings.  He is usually the first one to give me a hug when I'm emotional or having a rough day.  Or when I'm (fake) whining that I "never get kisses from (Grayson) anymore" he will come up and give me a hug and kiss.  Torrin is our scrappy man.  He is a tough little guy.  Today he was jumping on Hayden and wrestling him down.  Hayden was laughing as Torrin pounced him over and over again, but he's not one for wrestling.

Grayson is WIDE awake tonight and really wants to play.  (I guess that's what happens when you get a nap at 4:30 p.m.)  He keeps toddling away as fast as he can and laughing--taunting us to "come and get me."  I love my sweet boys!

A little over 2 months until Allen graduates!!!  It's going to be a busy two months, and especially stressful for Allen as he finishes up his Masters project.  I can't wait until we're DONE with school--and hopefully for a looooong time.
