Not trash, just treasure!

When Brenner is expressing his opinion about things, he always makes it a two part statement: "Not that one! Just this one!"

The other day I was carrying Caelum and I took a box outside to the trash can. When I came back, Brenner was waiting for me at the door, looking very upset. "Mommy!" he cried. "Don't throw baby Caelum in the garbage!" I explained that I would never do such a thing, and I that I love them both too much to ever do anything so awful! Brenner rolled his eyes and flipped his hand up, a small smile on his face. (His way of outwardly showing that understanding has dawned.) "Oh..." he said. "Not Caelum in the garbage, just the box! Okay!"

With Caelum's newfound ability to smile and laugh with us, he is sure to join in our special moments more and more each day!
