My sweet funny boy...Last night Cory was rubbing my back - he will be a great labor coach! Anyways, Brock told him 'Daddy don't hit mommy, that's dangerous'.
Yesterday Brock was playing with his little animal figurines...holding up a gorilla he said 'Daddy, this is an orangutan-ape-monkey". He often puts every possible word he knows in one long word to discribe some thing like 'big-giant-huge'.
One day the owl that sits in my parents tree was gone. Cory told Brock maybe the owl had a girlfriend. So now Brock says, 'he's probly with his girlfriend'.
Brock went through a nose picking phase which, thankfully, seems to have stopped. Cory used to tell him to stop digging for gold. Then one day in the car Brock said, 'Daddy, look I found some gold' - gross!
He has started using phrases such as 'in my whole life' or 'best I ever had'. Example, 'this is the best watermelon I ever had'.
He is quite the story teller. Last night at dinner I asked him what he did at play group. He began this long story about how he played with a lizard, no 'actually' a snake-lizard and up it went up in the sky, 'and um actually' it swam in the water, and on and on. Yes, he really says actually - too funny.
If he doesn't want to do something, he says 'let's not go to costco today - let's go tomorrow' or 'next saturday' or any other time except now :)
Deep thoughts from Brock...Brock, 'Mommy, are we gonna die?'
Mommy, 'Well, yes someday in a long long time'
Brock, 'Oh, and go to heaven'
Mommy, 'Yes, hopefully'
Brock, 'Okay, in a long long time'
Wednesday at noon. Enid had a check up at 9 that morning and was already 6 cm! Get to the hospital-Doctor's orders!
Wednesday @ 5:30PM. We checked in at 1 PM and set up in the last delivery room available. It could have been a linen closet. The room was very small and sterile. No window, no shower, no frills. Enid was amazing. She labored quietly until 4 pm when Dr. Westfall arrived to break the water and check on progress--9cm! We continued to work quietly for another hour or so, then the intensity started to ramp up. The nurse got really nervous that the baby was going to come before the doctor returned. She tried a few delay tactics, but a squeezing uterus and focused mother will not be deterred! With polite disregard, we stayed the course to keep the labor moving forward. Dr. Westfall got to the delivery room at 5:18 and she was barely suited up when Theo emerged. Enid delivered Theo-no drugs-no needles-pure adrenaline-after seven or eight pushes. Theo arrived very alert and loud, revealed his gender,and immediately got to lay on Enid. 
Snoozin at home.
Theo and Brock
