Best Buddies

I know this picture probably just looks like another picture of my four boys, but it's not. Well, I guess I call them "my boys" too - but three of them are boys that I babysit. Two of them are under 2 and one of them is 4 - the same age as my Bennett. So, it's almost like I have two sets of twins. Call me crazy, but I'm loving it! I love snuggling with them and hearing them say, "My Jodi" or "Love you!" They are just so adorable and sweet and they make my day. And it's been great for Bennett too! He has so much fun with them while his older brothers are in school and he's the BIGGEST boy for once. And he's made his first best friend.
This is Bennett and his best buddy Gavin. Instead of calling eachother by name, they say things like, "Come on buddy" - "Best buddy, let's go outside" - Best buddy, cool dude let's play!" It's so much fun to watch them play together. It will be a sad summer when I'm not babysitting them anymore (the moms are both teachers and sisters). We'll just have to schedule play dates for the kids and ME!

That is so precious Jodi. I am so glad that you can watch friendly children. It makes it so much easier and funner. They do look like best buds. Love it.

Your yard looks really nice.. About Magills. Ed order a to go on the fish and chips on friday. He is in and out of there and back home in a flash. So much better. And the amount is good. But he's only had them once and it was not cheap. But cheaper than fishing for them. That is my logic to help me not freak out on the prices....

Looks like you're just surrounded by a houseful of boys! So fun that they are such good friends. I love that they call each other "buddy." So cute!

It's so fun to watch our young kids make their first "best friends." Those two are sure a couple of cute ones!

That's great that everyone gets along so well. You're right it's like built in playmates, that's a real bonus.
I bet it makes going anywhere tricky though.

First best buds are the best. That will be awesome if the friendship lasts and they can look back at these adorable pictures.

Your amazing, how nice of you to babysit, its nice of you to share your professional experience of mothering boys. They are lucky to get to go to your house and not daycare!
