New Sweet Tomato~ (that's really what it's called!)

After almost a year Mason finally has his own seat in our home!  He has his wheelchair of course, but that's too heavy for me to get in and out of the house now.  My back just isn't what it used to be.  The brown chair thing is called a 'sweet tomato' chair.  He buckles into it and the seat straps onto the base with the wheels so that he is closer to people and kids.  My favorite thing about the chair is that it's removable from the base and can strap to a kitchen chair so he can now be a part of our family meals!! 

FINALLY!  The whole family can have dinner together.

It also gave him the perfect seat to once again play with his balls.  I just have to make sure that Ezra is nowhere near him.  Mase can throw a ball!  It hurts.  More to do than just play doors.

Obsession #2

Ezra loves to put things on.  Socks, shoes, gloves, coats, bracelets, barrets, belts, you name it.  The one he asks for the most is definately shoes.  If he sees anyone getting thier shoes on it must mean that they are leaving and he definately wants to be a part of that!  He grabs the shoes he can get to the fastest and brings them to someone to help him put them on.

My boots are very popular for both he and Ethan to wear around. 

They like the furry insides I think. So cute.

Tandum Triking

Ezra got a sweet Trike for Christmas but somehow manages to tip head over heels on himself everytime he tries to ride it.  Ethan found a solution.  They love 'riding' together.

Ez just hangs on tight!

Sometimes he gets brave and tries the stand up move.  He likes to hold onto Ethan's head for this one.

Ezra is so bored when Ethan isn't home.  I'm so glad that they all have each other.

Proof that Big Brother's have Major Influence

He's obsessed.  All lightsabers .. all the time.

Acrobatics with Dad~

Spen has to be the funnest dad around.  The kids attack him when he walks in the door.  They want to wrestly and play.  This was one of the nights...

You know Ez had to get in on the fun.  Mase was there and as involved as he could be.  I wish he could still do Mason gymnastics, but Mason is just getting to be too big of a man child!

The Other Sleeping Boy~

Not to leave out my other crazy sleeper!...  Ez never disappoints.

This is one of my favorite sleeping poses of all time.  Spen said it looks like he's getting all stretched out for a run!  (Don't forget to look in his left hand. )

Why did we get bunk beds again?

Just over a month ago Mason really started to have trouble sleeping through the night.  Even getting to sleep was hard.  He just screams and screams.  The only way to calm him down is to get into bed and cuddle him back to sleep.  Ethan caught on to this after a week or so and thought it'd be a good idea for him to just sleep with Mason.  He has ever since.

The first night was a surprise.  We didn't know he was going to do this.  We just thought Mason had stopped crying.  Honestly Ethan usually sleeps through any noise Mason has ever made.  We think he just wanted to be with his brother.  They are best friends I'm told...

Every night I go in to check on them I am amazed that either one of them can sleep how they are.  When they are doing something this cute I have to get a picture.  They slept all night with linked arms!

This is another night, Ethan's holding Mason's hand.

Another night, full on cuddles.  When Ethan isn't feeling well and we make them sleep apart neither one of them are happy about it.  Spen thinks we should just get them a bigger bed but I don't see why!  They are both perfectly happy in Mason's bottom bunk!

Important Things in Life

When Ethan is around Ezra is his shadow.  It's great that Ethan absolutely adores him and actually wants him around all the time!  He goes to find Ez when he gets distracted.  He loves his 'puppy'.  Ezra will sit and watch Ethan play his DS for as long as I'll let Ethan play his DS.  Seems boring, but I guess that's just how boys are!
