3rd Baby Charm

Yesterday we went to get our haircut. Like any good Mom taking 3 boys for haircuts I packed Skyler's back pack with books, coloring books and markers. But like a busy Mom I placed the babies carseat in a spot that I could only see if I turned around and looked, not from the mirror while I got my hair cut. I was a proud Mom that I had a quiet, cooing baby, a well behaved 2-year-old and a 4-year-old who kept checking in while I was getting pampered. About 5 minutes before I was done Skyler said something about the baby and a marker. I told him not to let Gavyn have the markers because he would put them in his mouth. He responded that Gavyn wasn't holding
marker, he had marker on him, only 1 little spot
though! I told him he better not color the baby anymore and he stayed by me until I got up. I turned around, picked up Nevin, then I saw him, Mr. Gavyn was colored head to toe! He had green on his cheeks and forehead, orange on his arms, yellow on his legs... He looked like a man ready for battle! I gave Skyler a stern warning to not color the baby again. (Although Nevin often colors himself and I feel it is a form of expression for them. But lets let Gavyn color himself when he is ready.) The girls in the shop said he was just smiling and laughing the whole time! They thought I totally knew and was OK with it. I am
OK with it, just did not know. Such a 3rd Baby, goes with the flow.
