Benjamin let Elizabeth dunk her cookies in the same cup he was dunking his in and at the park he lifted her up over and over again so she could reach the rings.  They also took a bath together and laughed and laughed until he tinkled on her. 
Leah climbed up a pole at the park and held on for ten minutes.  She's got some stamina!  She still always wants to hold Daniel and change every diaper.  She and Benjamin had a conversation that I wish I recorded word for word because it was better than I can recreate. Benjamin thought changing poopy diapers was gross and when Leah heard this she acted appalled.  "I just love it!  It's not gross at all!" 
Right before getting into the car for school Isaac came into our bedroom (didn't know I was peeking) and stood over Daniel, just watching him, for a few moments until he bent down to kiss him goodbye.  He is sweet and is getting attached against his will.
Daniel has stolen all our hearts and has brought a wonderful spirit into our home.  We all feel it and so far the only one with a jealousy issue is Tutti Frutti.  He may be our last and the thought of putting him down kills me so I usually hold him and just touch his skin.  So badly I want for him to feel loved, secure and trusting.  I now know how short-lived this newborn stage is and want to enjoy every moment.  Even if it is from 3 to 6am.

Oh, I know just what you mean...hanging on to each and every moment, wishing it would last, but knowing it will be so short.
