It seems like Kenya and Jovi have always had a special
friendship, maybe because he just turned 3 when
she was born, so he understood more and
was excited to have another baby join us.
(Jovi was about a month old, I was trying different ways to take all
3 of the kids in the double jogger to go running.)

Kenya liked holding Jovi,once I started running she slept.
Kenya always wanted to hold Joviand would sit for long periods of time.
The kids were not allowed at the hospitalwhen Jovi was born because of the H1N1 flu
precaution- so they were very excited when
we came home the next day.
Kenya easily held Jovi for 45 minutes
without wanting to get up, unheard of for this little guy.
I was thinking of a few cute things Kenya (and Azure) woulddo when Jovi was new to our family.
The kids would always ask why Jovi was crying each and every time.
I would tell them what she was "saying"
I want my diaper changed, I want to eat, I'm tired, I'm hungry,
I want you to be done changing my diaper.
They would follow me around all day long asking
"what is Jovi saying" each time they heard her cry.
Kenya would ask me many times a day when Jovi's umbilical cord
would fall off and if he could see if it was still there.
Kenya would ask me non stop
"where is my friend Jovi"
"Can we keep my friend Jovi?"
If we were leaving the house he would ask " Is Jovi coming too?"
I often hear from Kenya "I want lots of babies"
which means, he wants me to have lots and lots of babies,
but he still doesn't like the idea of them being boys.
I'm so thankful for my kids, how much they follow
me around and how they love to help.
At times it's hard to have them all
at my feet following me around like ducklings
but I fear the day
they are grown up and not longer little babies
or toddlers- my favorite age.
Taken just the other day- Kenya wanted
to hold Jovi, I think she happily endures
a lot from Kenya and Azure.

I have to say, it is a sad day when the kids are grown and the toddlers and babies are gone. I had a hard time with that for awhile, mostly because stopping was not entirly my choice, medical reasons were a big part of that.
But now that I have babies come to my house for my day home,I have decided I really like where I am at now, I love having the babies to snuggle but I love sending them home at the end of the day. Its fun having older kids who can play games and run them around with out the fits and the carseats and the diapers and feedings, which I used to not think anything of it since that is what I did for 10 years. So I think as life evolves so do we. Although I think I will always to a point want a another baby, I see a baby and all I want to do is hold it. But every stage is fun and busy in it's own way. But you still have awhile before that day comes and you do a good job at enjoying every moment.....But it goes way too fast. :(
That is so sweet that they love her so much and care what she's trying to say!
