- Blaine continues to be our sensitive, empathetic, kind-hearted boy. He is in tune with other feelings and does not like to see others hurting. Recently Pierce had a pretty deep splinter that I was working on. I was having to use a needle to try to get it out and it was starting to hurt Pierce. Pierce was being super brave, but started wincing and pulling his hand back as I continued to work. Blaine looked up with big eyes while standing next to Pierce and said, "Stop, Mommy! Stop! You're hurting him!". I tried to explain that I was just trying to get to the splinter and it was all Blaine could do to not stop me himself I think. I told him he could hold Pierce's hand and he did while Pierce squeezed. Then he had the idea to pray for Pierce, so he stopped right there and prayed that Pierce would be ok. I about melted right there.
- I am continually blown away by his faith at such a young age. The other night he refused neosporin for a pretty red sore on his hand because he told me very simply and matter of factly that God would heal him. It was hard to argue with that, but I quickly tried to explain the balance of meds and God's power, but felt very humbled at this faith. I need more of it!
- Blaine is probably still the friendlier of the two. They both love meeting new kids and are curious about kids their age we see in a store, but Blaine is always the first to give a friendly "Hiyah!" to anyone and everyone we see. (That's been his new greeting and I love it!)
- He is still very active and has a shorter attention span. He often just has to be moving or running around.
- He's become the more stubborn eater and if he doesn't feel like eating something, no special treat or promise can change his mind. He doesn't make a big deal out of it though. He has added more fruit to his rotation which is good.
- He and Landry have bonded more and he loves helping feed her or giver her a drink in her high chair. He'll often say, "Ohhhh ,isn't she cute?". And she has started giggling equally at him. :)
- Blaine overall is so fun loving and very happy-go-lucky. For the most part he's in a good mood, but when he does get in a funk it's pretty serious. He has the best scowl I know and gets himself so deep he has trouble snapping out of it. He's told us before that he'll start talking nicer, but still has to "keep his mean eyebrows".
