no matter how crazy my days can be, they almost always end on such a good note. bedtime can get pretty crazy around here sometimes, its the time of day when everyone "needs" me and i try my best to be 3 mommies to 3 precious boys. sometimes it works with little stress and sometimes it doesnt. tonight wasnt too bad though. tuscan and i watched curious george while i fed the babies and vincezo (go figure - he is my curious george!) decided that bedtime was over rated tonight. matteo went to bed with little fussing, but vincenzo decided that he wanted to be a part of tuscan's bedtime story. fortunately tuscan was feeling generous tonight and was willing to let his baby brother in his bed for story time. both boys listened patiently as i read to them baby einstein shapes and colors and when the story was over tuscan tried insisting that vincenzo sleep in his bed with him tonight!! of course it was a request i had to say no to, but it was just so cute to see tuscan cover his baby brother up with his "nie" (tuscans blankie) and kiss his cheek and lay next to him with his arm drapped over his belly. if i'd felt safe to leave the two of them alone in the bed i would have grabbed the camera, but i wasnt sure how long the generosity would last...tuscan was pretty tired and being kind of silly!
but its moments like tonight that make me feel so grateful to have 3 gorgeous boys that are so rediculously close in age. watching their relationships develop over the years i think is going to be the most rewarding aspect to being their mother. i love my boys more and more everyday! i am so blessed...
