Today I'm looking after one of my friend's little boys. Ava is at school, so it's an all-boy zone around here. "JUST the BOYS!" Jace shouted as we drove to school this morning. This little guy, F, is only a couple of months younger than Eli would be (his mom and I were pregnant at the same time...he and Eli were supposed to be best friends, of course), so it's been a bit surreal to realize that in another version of our life, this could be our family — these three boys, ages 3, 1, and 3 months. Seeing them all together has been bittersweet, though mostly sweet, since F is basically part of the family anyway, and he and Seth will be in the same class at school. I love watching them build these connections.
F is just starting to walk and explore everything, so it's been a busy morning of cheering him on when he takes steps and lifting him down from whatever he climbs. I still have plenty of baby proofing to do before Seth gets much bigger!

I spent the morning at Target, which was a BAD idea. Target is my weakness...whenever I go there I always, always find something to buy. And I'd been doing so well...until today. =) I'll have to share pictures of my finds later.
