Logan and Camryn took their bath together last night and I got such a kick out of watching them play.
The scene: the tub
The cast of characters: Logan, Camryn, and two of Cami’s babies.
The plot: Soon after realizing that there was only one baby in the tub, Logan asked me to bring them another one. They both needed a baby for whatever game was going to happen next. Luckily, we have two tub babies so it’s not a problem. As I handed Logan the second baby, I noticed that Camryn had her baby cradled gently in her arms with the washcloth covering her like a blanket. She was gently rocking the baby, back and forth with a sweet and nurturing little smile on her face. “She is such a girl” I thought to myself, delighted at the little bit of softness she brings to our family. My thoughts were interrupted by a huge splash….
“KABOOM!!!! WATCH MY BABY DO A FRONT FLIP!! ALIEN BABY FACE!!! AGHHHHH!!!!!” shrieked Logan with gusto as his baby took a flying leap from the side of the tub.
I got such a kick out of this little scene! Boys and girls are so different. And anyone who doesn’t agree needs to come spend a few minutes at our house! While Camryn is pretty rough and tumble and totally keeps up with the boys…case a point, she was found wrestling in the church lobby with four boys ages 5 and up this morning…she is still decidedly girly in the way she cares for her babies. It’s instinctive to her.
I love the action and adventure the boys bring to our house and I love the sweetness and softness Camryn brings.
