"New member" of our family

It's been now a week and a half that I've been experimenting life with 3 kids. No, he's not mine but  my neighbor's third son ( yes she has 3 boys under 6) and he's so adorable. 

One sunday after Church, our neighbor came to us asking if we could watch their 2 kids (the oldest boy and youngest) while they're at the hospital because their 2nd boy (2 and a half year old) broke pretty badly the thigh bone after a fall.

After discussing with the parents, we decided that I'll be taking care of the baby while the older one is at school until dad comes home from work, and it will be for around 3 weeks. That also means that they'll be spending Christmas at the hospital. How sad!

I often wonder what people think when I do some errands because he's blond with blue eyes just like Juri. Juri likes to joke saying that I look like a filipino nanny, which I don't like to hear. The kids LOVES him, a bit too much at times. They are very excited to have him at home and play with him. Ilyah is a bit too rough though and Tobias (the baby) makes cat's noise when he sees him. As for Taiamani, he loves her because she's so sweet with him and takes good care of him. Taiamani is in heaven because she gets to play Mommy with a "real living" doll/baby.

She likes to make him laugh, cuddle, feed him etc...

She's obviously ready for another baby in the house. She keeps saying that when she'll be older she'll have a baby boy and a baby girl, then we tell her that she has to get married in the Temple first like Papa and Mama, to which she says 'yes'. We do hope so.

I am dead exhausted by the time Juri gets home. It makes me think REALLY hard about having #3. People tell me that it is different when it comes to your own child, so we'll see.

Here are some pics of Taiamani being a little mommy and a big helper while I cook dinner.
