I've fallen and i can't get up!
Caelie fell into the recycling bin..
i'm not sure what she was more upset about- the fact that she fell in and couldn't get out OR that she dropped her pretzel and couldn't reach it!
the pretzel is right under her feet- behind the pepsi bottle
;)

Mac's not too impressed
my sweet boy!
Just before the bus arrived Jaiden told me
"I'm having trouble standing on my legs"
OHHH, he was so brave
"Hello Busddriver" he yelled as he cimbed the stairs
happy to see his buddy Ashe on the bus..
or deer caught in headlights.. you decide!
I'm WAITING for him to get home! |

Funny Story.. that is MY life!
Tonite at dinner, as Jaiden was stuffing in the last bits of his beef with broccoli with his hands.. he says "My hands smell like poop".
Of course, my reaction: "Why do your hands smell like poop"?
(bashing my cooking, perhaps? no, he's 4, right?)
He answers "I don't know"
So I say "Well, did you touch poop today"?
He thinks for a moment "Well I went poop on the potty and wiped myself"
~CRINGE~
So i ask "DID YOU WASH YOUR HANDS"?
HIS REPLY "NO!"
As i'm dragging him to the bathroom to wash.. tim is giggling in the background.
ARRGGHHHH! boys are gross!

BIG DAY!
TODAY, Mac locked himself in the garage!
Coached by big brother Jaiden, of course!
Needless to say Mac was in a PANIC, no other key exists
(i didn't even know about the one that was in the door),
Garage door opener in Daddy's car AT WORK!
Daddy was on his way HOME,
when mac finally stopped panicking enough
to push the door opener from the inside
20 PANICKED minutes... we'll never get back!
in costume (ugh, 85 and humid)
Mac sat this one out.. due to his INTENSE interest in the game and the TRAUMATIC morning he had.. nap on, little one, nap on!

Mac decided to 'COMMANDO' himself after nap today... SO i decided if a boy is big enough to get his pants & his diaper off.. he shouldn't be wearing them. Let the potty training begin!
He did great! the front door got a little sprinkle... we were watching that crazy storm that blew threw.. all that rain.. it's inspirational!
We'll keep you posted :) |
We always knew jaiden was 'special'....

Bustin' OUT - Today Mac protested his nap. I went into his room to quiet him down and found he had kicked his crib sides off. (this is louie's crib, so 15 yrs and still going). SO being the completely RATIONAL mom that i am... i took the mattress out, put it on the floor and said (sweetly) SLEEP THERE!
AFTER things quieted down.. it took while! i snuck a peek at the distruction and the PASSED OUT little boy: )
