The Boosky Life

When Orelia was Bennett's age, her days were filled with play dates and music classes.

Bennett Boosky has the life of the second child - everything is at the whim of his sister's much busier itinerary.

Most days Bennett and I get a couple of hours with just the two of us while Orelia finishes her nap.

B loves to spend this time outside with Mama.

The backyard isn't as interesting as a music class or Gymboree, but it will have to do.

Thank God for this swing.

I get to push Bennett and his gummy smile on this swing almost every day.

One day soon he will be more interested in climbing and sliding, but for now it's just me pushing him on the swing.

We take Orelia's monitor with us wherever our unadventurous adventures lead us, and we run inside whenever she wakes.

As happy as Bennett is hanging out with Mama, he would prefer to be hanging out with Mama AND Orelia.

The Boosky life isn't a thrill ride.  It consists of naps in his crib, meals in his chair, and toes in his grass.  He wears whatever striped shirt was on the top of the pile and enjoys the only life he knows how to live.  A life full of snuggles into his mama's left shoulder and slightly rough tickles from his big sister.  He eats scraps of dinner on his daddy's lap and smiles fondly at his furry brown dog.  The Boosky life is simple but sweet.
