Oskar Is One of the Big Boys

 Last week we moved Oskar downstairs to the boy dormitory.  He appeared to be a little puzzled by the whole thing, but Cowen and Eli were excited enough for all three.  In fact, the excitement level was so high that very little sleeping took place for several hours that night.  It reminded me of the song, "We Got Annie!"  Just dub in Oskar over Annie and that about sums up the boys' feelings on the matter.





We got the crib for $20 on ksl.  We were a bit premature in giving away our second crib.  Sometimes you have another baby when you thought you were done.  Sometimes (like after this baby) you don't.





These last two pictures have nothing to do with Oskar moving downstairs.  They just highlight WHY Oskar is always covered in bruises.  It is impossible to keep him off the counter and kitchen table.
Oskar, I am your mother and I am telling you that you are growing up too fast.  Slow it down, buddy.  You're only my baby once and it is flying by!  Enjoy it!  Relax a little!!  You don't have to learn new words all the time (diaper was last week's new word).  You can just sit around, smile a bunch, laugh at your crazy siblings, and snuggle with mom.  You'll like it!  You don't have to stand at the back door squawking until someone lets you go outside. You don't have to climb up and down the stairs standing up instead of on your knees.  You don't have push the water dispenser on the fridge on a daily basis.  You don't have to roughhouse with your brothers and push away from me when I want to snuggle because you are oh, so, busy.  Just stay little a little longer.
