Best Buds

It has been so fun to watch Cole and Noah get closer as Noah gets bigger and more interactive. They so enjoy each other's company most of the time. I think Cole was just as excited as Noah when we moved Noah to the "big boy," forward facing car seat. I frequently catch them holding hands when they don't know I'm looking, and I managed to snap a picture at a stop light the other day :) Noah adores Cole and will frequently just spontaneosly hug him or lay on him. Cole is particularly nurturing to Noah as well. I get a good glimspe of how I must sound when I hear Cole saying in a high-pitched voice, "Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry your belly hurts," as he rubs Noah's back. Don't get me wrong, though; they certainly do fight at times, particularly when one or both are tired. Nonetheless, I am so thankful that they do enjoy each other most of the time and look forward to watching their relationship deepen as they grow up together :) I love being their Mommy!

And More Fort Wilderness

Fort Wilderness

We took Cole to Fort Wilderness a couple weeks ago. My parents kept Noah, so Cole was thoroughly enjoying being an only child for a night. We rented one of the cabins, and though it was pretty cold outside, we had a great time. We didn't do any of the parks, as Cole just enjoyed taking the monorail around and exploring the different resorts. He and Brian both always have fun at the arcade at the Contemporary. We also had fun taking the boats from Fort Wilderness to various other parts of the property and riding the Disney buses around the resort as well. Cole particularly loved the bunk beds in the cabin. We saw alot of deer around the property too. It was nice to get away and spend some one on one time with Cole. While I did miss Noah and was so happy to see him after the trip, I do see the importance of spending individual time with each of my boys. I remember my parents always being particularly sensitive about spending individual time with each of my siblings and me (and there were five of us!). I always loved those times :)
