Dear Schmoopie,

You woke up sicker today than you were yesterday. Your poor little eye was swollen and red. I took you over to Urgent Care. The ladies there couldn't get over how adorable you were. You kept giving them your little crooked smile. Oh my little flirt, even with a puffy, oozing eye, you are still the most devilishly handsome creature.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Schmoopie,

It was a super busy day for us. We started the day off at the mechanic where you and your sister ran all over the place. You loved looking at all the car posters and having a new space to run. I loved watching you enjoy your life.

Later, we went to the mall with our friends. Jacks shared his wagon with you and you leaned back and cuddled up to him. It was so precious to me. I love watching you make little friends.

We took you guys to the play area in the mall and you escaped close to a bajillion times. You are too smart for your own good mr.

While at the mall, your oh so prepared mom neglected to pack the stroller. I rented a car cart and forgot to get a double car cart. (Yes I am super smart) So we stuck your sister in the car and you in the basket..you took it like a champ. If we weren't a spectacle before walking the mall with two sets of twins...we were DEFINITELY one now, with a babe in the clothes basket. I got you a cookie to make up for it.

You just ate two hands full of dog food while I unloaded your sister from the car. Not cool dude, not cool

Love,
Mommy

Dear Schmoopie,

You were especially sweet today. This morning you crawled in bed with me, laid on my chest, and played with my hair. All day you kept patting me and giving me smiles. I love having your tender little soul in my home.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Schmoopie,

Today you almost killed your beloved Mr. Wiggles (you're fish). I woke this morning and for some reason Mr. Wiggles was my first thought. I just had this feeling I should move his bowl. I ignored that feeling and the next thing I knew I heard a huge crash. By the time I got to your room, you were wearing a huge grin and poor Mr. Wiggles was withering on the floor. Don't worry, I saved him and he is happily hiding behind his plant. He is also as far away from your sneaky paws as possible.

All afternoon your sister kept stealing everything you had. Toys, paccis, sip cups....you name it, she took. I had finally had enough and refused to let her take your pacci. You, being the sweet angel you are, saw your sister throwing a fit and handed her your pacci with a smile on your face. Oh my darling boy, it is such a pleasure  being your mommy.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Schmoopie,

It snowed today! We ran through a baby blizzard on our way into Costco and you had the time of your life. We threw blankets over our head and laughed and popped in and out of the covers all the way inside. It was a special moment for mommy. Watching your and your sister experience things and take so much joy from simple pleasures gives me more joy than you can imagine. I love you mr. man.

Love,
Mommy

Dear Schoompie,

We went to the aquarium today for daddy's birthday and you had a BLAST. You absolutely loved all the fish. We were fairly certain you would have jumped into all the tanks if you could have. It was such a joy to watch you light up with every colorful tank. You really loved the dolphin show. whenever they started to do tricks you would jump down from my lap and bounce up and down squealing. You have no idea how unbelievably adorable you are mr. man.

Love,
Mommy

I have been wanting to start this blog for awhile now. Every single day you and your sister do things that I always want to remember. I am starting this blog so that every day I can write about what you did and I will always have it. I am sorry it has taken me this long to get started, but in my defense I have been rather busy ;). So here goes....Day 1

February 9 2015:

Today we had a lot of things to get done. I just started to work as daddy's secretary and I was trying to get organized. We had already been to 3 stops in the pouring rain and mommy of course forgot an umbrella. I had parked in a huge puddle and got my pants soaking wet trying to get your sister out. Our last stop was Target and you guys were getting wrestles. I had a lengthy list and had a hard time focusing with your sister trying to climb out of the cart and you grabbing everything in site and putting it in the cart. Sister would throw everything I put into the cart out. You fought over pacifiers and screamed and yelled. Everyone was looking at me like I needed to control you guys better. I was embarrassed and tired and just wanted to cry. I closed my eyes and took a breath. Do you know what you did little man? You put your sweet little hand on top of mine and gave me the most adorable Noley grin. I no longer cared what anyone else thought. You held my hand until we got to check out. As I was putting away bags and putting you in the car, you patted my back, the way to do for you when you need comfort. Oh my sweet, tender, boy, you melt me. You made me remember why  my job is so very sacred and special. You are very special and sacred Nolan. I am so grateful I get to be your mommy. You reminded me today that you are a child of God and that is what matters in life. Thank you for tenderizing my heart and loving me little dude.

Love Mommy
