Uncle Michael

My brother Mike has been staying with us the last week and we've loved having him. He's like a big play toy for Allie who just adores him. She still talks about him from the last time he was here in February 2008 (I am amazed she remembered him, though he was here for a couple days in August too).

I've definitely taken advantage of having him around and have had him babysit a few times. This morning I took Allie to a friends house to play with her kids and left Adrian with Mike since he was napping when I wanted to leave. They did great of course. Mike even had to get him up from his nap, feed him and change his diaper. I like to think I'm just helping his future wife by training him early.

One morning I handed Adrian to Mike so I could sleep a little longer (which didn't really happen). I peaked out about half an hour later and Mike had him in his jumper and was just watching him play. I told him he could just put him in there and walk away as long as Adri wasn't fussing. He said he was just trying to figure him out. Leave it to a man! I laughed and told him to let me know what he comes up with.

He leaves Sunday morning and I hope we will see him out here this summer.


He was supposed to be feeding him his bottle here, but they were both distracted by Robin Hood playing on the DVD player.
