Babies are pretty amazing that’s what I have to say.  Patrick is on a pick on your little brother kick lately.  In the last two days he has bitten Sam twice (arm and hand for those specific family members with this kind of experience [Amy]), poked him in the eye at least 5 times, and pulled on his legs or arms (nearly making me drop Sam) about 15 times.   He has also stepped on Sam several times and rolled him over by his head, but only once.  All in two days.  Just thinking about all of this makes me tired.  I need a playpen with a Pac-proof lid.    Other than that Patrick really is a great older brother.  He tells Sam about the books he’s reading and shows him the pictures.  Patrick lets Sam hold his favorite cars even when he spits up on them, and Pac proudly interupts other people at grocery stores to tell them, “Hey!  We have a new baby!  Wanna see it?!”  After which Alma chimes in with, “Yeah, his name is Sam, he’s a boy, a boy baby.  And I’m Alma, A-L-M-A, Alma.  And this is my brother Pac-Attack!”  And then Pac says “It has a ‘P’ in it, and an ‘A’, just like Alma.  A-L-M-P, Pac.  But I changed it, I changed it to Pac-Attack.”  Ok, so maybe I did get a bit carried away with just the one conversation, but they have all said all of these things at least 8 times before.  And alot of times all together.  It is tough not to crack up every time they do, because, bless their little hearts, they are SO serious about it all!  Anyways, long week, more later.
