Show Me the Mommy, royal wedding edition

I got up at 5AM this morning to watch the Royal Wedding live. I have such vivid wonderful memories of watching Charles and Diana's wedding so I really wanted to see this modern wedding. During the time before the boys woke up, I had those little pangs that hit me occasionally, that I will never have a daughter. Then I realized, this is STUPID, why can't the boys enjoy the wedding as much as girls?

I heard them both rustling so I woke them up early. We cuddled on the couch and watched the wedding, blissfully tivoed so I could fast forward to the best parts for them. They loved every minute. Unfortunately they had to go to school before the kiss but I promised to record it and let them watch it when they got home. Sharing it with them was every bit as satisfying as I had imagined it would be with little girls.

Bonus is they asked a ton of questions about Jon and my wedding, so it was fun to tell them about it and reminisce about that perfect day. Being a mom (to boys or girls) is pretty sweet.

You look beautiful!

I got up at 5:45 and loved every minute of the wedding. Elijah came in around 7, shrugged and went to play in his room. He did enjoy the parade later on. I guess you could say Sophia watched it with me though, as much as an 11 month old can watch tv.

Those boys have a really special mommy.

I had an ob/gyn appt (making the no more baby thing PERMANENT this time) and they all wore tiaras or big crazy hats in honor of the royal wedding. It was really cute. They had a good time with it.

I am the same way with the boys. I found myself saying "I can't wait to do this or that with Addie". I now do whatever it is with the boys and they LOVE it most of the time.

Analese got pretty into it! And Mariele kept pointing at the screen at Catherine and saying "Mommy!" So I guess I should take that as a compliment?
