oh the joys

Not a whole lot new is happening with the Welmers (and we kind of like it that way!). But, I had to blog this story because I think it's hilarious.

Johan was down for a nap one day recently, but in the middle of his nap he woke up. Usually he just puts himself back to sleep after a few minutes, but this time was different. I could hear him babbling and playing in his crib, hitting his paci against the crib slats (yes, I  know, a born drummer). After several times of me going in to tuck him back in and say "ni-night," he still wouldn't sleep. So, I put on my best stern Mommy look and barged in the door. When I leaned over the crib with my brows lowered, Johan calmly looked up, extended his arm, handed me the pacifier, and grinned impishly, as if to say - "here you go, Mommy, isn't this a fun game?"

Needless to say I lost my stern look as it took all my control not to howl with laughter! I'm stealing myself for a lifetime of moments like these. Oh, the joys of parenting! :)
