Magooly

I feel like my blog has become all about me lately. I don't like it. So here's one for my Magooly.
Bennett is seriously the happiest kid I know. (Except when he's sick).  He has so much empathy for others and really cares about someone's emotional well being. He loves everyone, luckily one of his favorite people is Monkey McBean. I hope they stay best friends forever. One day last week Monkey went to play at some one's house and Magooly had to stay home because he was sick. All day he kept saying "I miss my brother".  Then when little brother came home Magooly said "I missed my brother and now he's home!"
They can make each other smile and laugh like no one else can. Magooly took a nap the other day and McBean went in and woke him up. Usually Gooly is cranky when he wakes up from naps, he doesn't take them very often. But from the other room I saw Gooly sit up and smile because his little brother was there playing. Then Gooly came out and sat on the couch, little brother followed and sat next to him and hugged him, climbed on him, put his cheek on his cheek.  It was so stinking cute, Gooly just was smiling the whole time and saying "He loves me." I yelled to Jeff to come quick before he missed all this cuteness. Right after I said that Monkey pushed Gooly off the couch and said "Stop" in a stern way. I told Ben "I guess he's done loving on you".  Ben turns to me and says "I guess the cuteness is over."  Which made me laugh out loud so much it hurt.
I know I'm switching from nicknames to real names but I just can't decide what I want to do on here. It feels silly to keep calling them by their nick names.
Bennett has been so compassionate and careful with me lately.  When he came home from Cinnie and Papa's house after I had my surgery he was so gentle and I think he was afraid to touch me and hurt me. He asked me if they took my boobies off and I told him yes but that in a while I'd get new ones. (I told him all this before the surgery) So now every time he sees someone he tells them "the doctor took my mommy's boobies off because they were sick but they will give her new ones. "
I think he saw me drain my tube (I had some drainage tubes and pain medicine tubes afterward) one day and the next morning the first thing he asked was if I was bleeding. ?? Then I realized he thought my drainage tube from my mastectomy wound had blood in it, I told him no. He looked relieved and hugged me. I hope he didn't have a bad dream about it or something.
Speaking of bad dreams, while he was at Cinnie and Papa's house he dreamt that Jeff had torn up his library card because he was being naughty and this made him very mad. He said he wanted to kick his daddy and throw him there and there. Just for the record this would have been very out of character for Jeff to have done. Jeff is the fun dad, I'm more the disciplinarian.
Last week we had Ben to ourselves (my mom is staying with us for a while) and I had a doctor's appt. to take the last tube out. My mom and Magooly waited in the waiting room while I was seeing the doctor. When I came out Bennett immediately jumped up from what he was doing and asked if I felt better. I told him yes, much better.  He asked if they gave me my new boobies.  I told him that would take a very long time.
Tonight he was dancing for all of us and reminded me so much of some old home movies I've seen of Jeff as a kid dancing and acting goofy.  Jeff says Bennett's serious face while he dances is from me. He calls it my "dancing face".  Ben was so funny, the kid really has good rhythm and he'd break dance and roll around on the floor and then pose when he'd stop on his side with his hand under his head.  I'll post some pics later.
I just love my little Magooly, he takes good care of me. Makes sure I have my water, and my breathing exercise thingy and that I don't yell at Jeff (he's got his dad's back).  Not that I yell at him, he just doesn't like me telling Jeff what to do, um, or how to drive :)
Benny Mike, I love ya boy! I hope you always stay as happy as you are at this age.
