Reganism: Big brother Batman

Regan is my running errands going on Mommy adventures buddy. This trip we braved Costco, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart. This little guy is a trooper. I said "Not going to happen," and "Not today Buddy" for items requested WAY too many times this afternoon. And he did not pitch a fit to any of my no's. So Mama guilt started to set in because he was being awesome about being told no. And then he hit below the belt while we were looking for a red shirt for Kaylee at Wal-Mart.

"MOM! MOM LOOK! It's a Batman for MY baby! My baby can wear Batman, and I could hold  my baby!"

So, yes. We bought a Newborn Batman onesie today. And my little boy was thrilled. It was the first thing he told/showed his Daddy when Jon got home that night. And he has since put it in his cloths drawer to "keep it safe for the baby".

We have been talking about adoption since Regan turned two. Regan being so young never said much on the subject. But he would listen. And lately he prays to be a big brother, and prays for his baby to come home.

He was carrying around the onesie today so I of course had to get a picture (or 16) of my guy.

This boy of mine is ready to be a big brother. Although he is still on the fence on if he wants a sister or a brother. I'm thinking that if Regan's baby wears the onesie Regan picked out it will not matter, but be true and instant LOVE.

Reganism: on adoption

Regan asked for seconds of pizza then folded his arms.

Regan prayed we could adopt a baby for the first time by himself. "Bless we could adopt a baby soon I can be a big brudder."

He also prayed that Daddy would have a good day at work, Kaylee would have a good day at school, and he would have fun at Aunt Shannon's house.

He did not bless the food though. He now prays that we can adopt a baby soon in all his prayers. I asked him why he wants to adopt a baby, and he said, "Babies are so cute. I can be a big budder, have so much fun."

So there you go. Regan is ready to be a big brother.

Mothers and Sons

Regan and I have been enjoying one on one time together while Kaylee is at school. This is new for us, and we LOVE it. We've been going to the library, grocery shopping, browsing through stores, or we spend the entire time she is away just snuggling on the couch. Today we got to enjoy lunch with friends! Regan was bouncing off the walls the entire time.

This happened not once, but thrice! And then the waitress brought him more! Sally said she must not have kids. I agreed.  Sally I hope lunch was mildly entertaining. Sorry about the soda on your feet.

Regan was quite happy to see the baby. He is now asking for a baby brother or sister. It makes me all gooey inside. He really can't decide which because, "girls are cute, but boys are fun".  He dose enjoy his WWE time with his boy cousins…..

Little man was very excited about his pizza. He kept randomly yelling, ""I so excited!" He ate half there, and then the other half in the car.

I thought briefly about taking him home for a quick nap before we needed to pick up Kaylee, but he was SO SO SO hyper. So I called Shannon to see if I could swing by and drop some stuff off, but she was not home.

So we went window shopping, and fell  in love with this too small hoodie. It was the only one in the store. Regan ran around in it for a bit and I took pictures so I can make one for him. He is super into Batman right now. And by right now I mean the last several months. And by into I mean obsessed.

As much as we  miss Kaylee, it sure has been lovely having one on one time with my little man.
