Mother's Little Helper

Caramel likes to play the Mother role. It used to be just with her babies but now that she is almost five, she wants a real challenge - putting Rhett to bed. Lately she likes to put him to bed at random times of the day. She will lift him up and carry him occasionally, it looks ridiculous. Sometimes the bed will be made in the living room or some fort. Other times it will be in her bed. She will read him stories and sing songs. The real fun part is that Rhett likes it as long as it doesn't last too long. Usually when Caramel tries to end the good night routine by saying good bye, closing the door and leaving him in the room is when Rhett is done and wants me to come open the door for him. Since he is trapped - Rhett can't open doors yet.

Rhett likes to play with babies. My favorite line from him is "Oh, so cute." Love the way he says it. He will pick up baby dolls and bounce them a little saying, "Sh, sh, sh, shhh." Then he will ask what song and sing usually Twinkle, twinkle or Wheels on the Bus. When he pushes around the toy stroller it usually has a baby in it with at least 20 cars for the baby's enjoyment.

Another sleeping arrangement Rhett and Caramel have is with the changing table. We have bunk beds coming in May. Caramel is very excited for this and practices with Rhett. Taking out all the toys (I can't watch this part) and making beds on the two shelves of the changing table. The two will "sleep" like this. VERY CUTE!

When Anthony gets home Rhett likes to put on his shoes and walk around. Caramel will join in on this and they will stumble around for a couple of minutes.
