Blocks

Walker and I have always been good buds. Sure, there have been moments when he was unhappy with me, but they always passed quickly because frankly, he was a baby. But today - really for the first time - Walker was mad at me. I was feeding Mackey a bottle and he was not happy that I wouldn't let him try some of her milk. I tried to explain to him that Mackey's milk was precious stuff and there was only so much of it. I tried to explain that if Mackey's mama were to sell her breast milk to a milk bank, she could get 16 dollars an ounce! For some reason, none of this mattered to Walker. He was mad because Mackey was doing something he couldn't and to top it all off, this feeding thing required all of Walker's mama's attention. Double whammy. Don't worry... we're friends again. I snapped this shot of Mr. Pout after he stomped off to the corner. "Fine", he seems to say, "I'm going to go sit in a pile of blocks."


As a peace offering, Mackey let Walker sit in her infant car seat.

Growing up is hard! Sharing Mommy is even harder - There are so many adults who haven't learned that there is enough love and attention to go around. Love lessons begin at home and you are doing a great piece of work with them.

Oh! Poor Walker! He's sharing his space, his toys, his MOMMA, and all he wanted was a little sip of what Mackey was having! Aw...the least she could do was give him a ride in the "rocket ship" and play with Monkey. :)
