Owen's here too!

Owen has been a real trooper through all of this. It was the first time I was away from Owen overnight in his whole life- and he did beautifully. This was a little hit to my ego- as Owen has always been a "mama's boy". Apparently he is also an "eema's boy" (eema = grandma in Owen language).
Here's a picture of Owen at the dinner table. He has that "I'm getting away with something" twinkle in his eye. I think he had a great time with eema!


Here's Owen after grandma gave him a bath and styled his hair to look like he is a character in Goofus and Gallant. (Am I the only one that used to read that little highlights cartoon strip about the boy who was either being naughty or polite?) This is an example of Owen's "Gallant" side. Hee hee- silly grandma...

Owen cuddling with "dee dee" (Aunt Candy). Apparently this is the same thing I used to call Candy when I was Owen's age. Awww....


Here's Owen sitting in "Aidan's chair". He typically refuses to sit in it because its Aidan's. He points to it and says "dat's Aidan's". However, rarely he will get up in the chair and give brother kisses and point to Aidan's cast and say "Aidan's boo boo?" The first night home, Owen had a hard time- probably in part because Aidan was not in his room with him (we have Aidan in with us with his matress on the floor... we didn't want to risk Aidan falling out of bed because he can roll over- or Owen jumping on him). He woke about three times crying hard- but was pretty easily consoled and went to sleep again. Since then- he has actually been sleeping longer into the morning... What wonderful boys we have!
