Oh Mr. Owen

Man do I love my boy. He is a crack up. My favorite thing he does lately is every morning, and after nap time, and sometimes just in the middle of the day he walks out of his room, smiles and says "GOOOD MOOORRRNING!" In a sing-song tone. He had come into our bed this morning at around 6:30 and gone back to sleep so when he woke up he said it then pulled off my blankets and said, "You wanna make breakfast? Want eggs." haha. I got home from the gym this afternoon and when I walked in around the corner he saw me and said good morning. So funny.
He LOVES his brother. And is rather concerned when he cries (or annoyed sometimes, in that case he just cries back at him). Yesterday Gray started to cry a little when waking. Owen hurried to the door and said "I pick him up" I told him no and that he was ok (I thought he might go back to sleep) and Owen says, "But he's crying." That same day Gray was gnawing away at his hands. Owen urgently said, "MOM! He's eatin' his hands! He's hungry! He's eatin' his hands!" Hilarious.
He's been trying my patience a lot lately. He's been a little mean to Gray and it makes me so mad. Not really sure how to handle it because he thinks time out is fun and will laugh and say, "Mom, I'm in time-out." and when I put him in his room he just plays then opens the door and comes out. I'm trying to over-exaggerate how happy I am when he's nice and does good...Hopefully that will help take the focus off of always saying "no, don't do that"
