The Boys
The boys emptied the bandaid drawer so I gave them each a bandaid. That wasn’t good enough for Drew, he wanted one on each hand. Bran kept taking his off and giving it to me so I would put it back on again. 
Drew
Today Drew waved at his shadow.
Drew is getting his fourth tooth. Finally!
Drew doesn’t like socks. I’m always finding them in his bed after a nap, or he’ll come downstairs with one sock on and one sock off (I think there’s a nursery rhyme about that).
Bran
Bran spent part of yesterday afternoon walking sideways. I guess he wanted to see what it was like! He also spent part of the time walking while looking at the ceiling. Needless to say, he fell down alot.
Bran is getting teeth # 13, 14, 15, and 16 (top molars and eye teeth). His bottom front teeth are discolored. Apparently this is not unusual for a preemie. And his adult teeth will not look this way. In the meantime he’s got coffee-drinkers teeth. As a result of the teething we’ve had two weeks of him waking up twice in the middle of the night. The past two nights have gone by without a peep. Yay!
Diddle diddle dumpling, my son John,
Went to bed with his breeches on.
One stocking off, and one stocking on;
Diddle diddle dumpling, my son John.
(There are many variations, like “shoes” instead of “stockings”.)
That’s the one I was thinking of…only I couldn’t remember the breeches part. Thanks Finn!
