Mitchell on the MIND

Mitchell has my heart.




I honestly had no idea that I would be truly madly in love with my boys. It is hard to admit now that when the Dr told me I was having twin boys I was a little sad that at least one was not a girl. I kind of felt that way until I met them.

Tonight my post will be on Mitchie or Mitch or Mitchell.

THis boy is so darling I can hardly stand it. I ADORE the gap in his cute white teeth. I ADORE those curls. It is so hard to cut them until I see his hair short and realize he is just as stinkin cute, just a little more grown up!

He is my little sidekick. He wants me AT ALL TIMES and anyone who knows him knows that fact to be SURE. As hard as it is at times, I love that that little boy is my shadow and he wants me in his sight at all times. If I walk out of the room the wailing starts until he finds me.

Mitchell squeals with delight when I see him in the morning. He will dive onto his crib with pure excitement as if to say "Yeah were together!"

He won't, almost refuses, to go downstairs by himself if I am in his view. He must be carried by me. That causes a chain reaction and then matthew expects it too. So, yes, SO VERY OFTEN you will find me lugging both of them up and down the stairs at the same time. That is a hefty 50lbs several times a day.

So as much as this boy whines, which he does quite often, he is also VERY independant and likes to do his own thing. He will be the caboose on our walks just strolling along looking and exploring at his own pace.

He thinks he older than he really is. He is most content trying to sneak his way onto chairs or into the office desk drawer. He has to have things his own way and heaven forbid it isn't he will throw a MAD fit! Lately what seems to work is saying "okay mitchie let's go sit in your crib until you can stop crying". 99% of the time the second i set him in there he is done crying. So i walk out of the room and usually walk right back into a happy smiley child. I say "are you done" He will nod yes and then stand up ready to leave his time out. Totally unaffected by the previous 1o minutes of pure tantrum. Hilarious. In fact he usually remains in a semi state of being frozen. He stays in the same position holding on to a crib rail until I reach to get him.

Mitchie will very willingly give and offer kisses. His kisses are just a perfect kiss. He will even hold your face to kiss you. The other day he hurt Matty. I told him to give him a kiss and he softly put both hands on Matthews cheeks and softly kissed his open mouth. I honestly can say my heart melted at that moment. If i had a video camera I can be sure it would be all over you tube becuase it was SOO sweet and sincere.

Lastly, Mitchie is one perceptive little chap. WITHOUT fail if I offer Mitchell two crackers one to eat and one to give to give matthew, he sneakily eyes them both up and down and will ALWAYS pick the bigger one. I have tested this one over and over again and 90% of the time he picks the one that is even slightly bigger. I can't believe he notices it so clearly. If he has a cup of water and Matty wants one too Mitchie will give his half drinken cup to matthew and BE SURE to get the new and improved one. WITHOUT FAIL! It is actually hilarious to see this side of him because i totally know where he gets it. ME, his selfish momma!

IN a nutshell this boy is my sunshine and I could and DO kiss his sweet ANGELIC face over and over daily. Probably 100+ times a day!

He is always smiling! He loves to dance and has quite good rythm. He will stay as limp as a newborn if I cradle him while slow or fast dancing with him.
