I feel like all of the sudden all 3 of my little punks are saying/doing things that are either melting my heart or making me laugh...usually a mix of both. Here are some of my favorites....
Andy:
1. He got home from school yesterday and I was going through his backpack at the table. He was sitting across from me eating a cookie and he asked me if I am going to vote for the president. I guess I never expected that to go hand-in-hand...1st grade, eating cookies and talking politics...but whatever. I told him that Yes, I am going to vote. Then he asked me who I am going to vote for. Hmmm... I tell him that I really dont know yet because I dont really like either person running for president. He takes another bite of his cookie and then tells me that he thinks I should vote for John McCain. I asked him a few questions to figure out just why I should vote for him.... I never really got a straight answer, other than his name is better than "Bo Hama's". Good enough reason, right?
2. The other day when Andy got home from school, I took him out on a date :) Just me and my little man. I really really had fun with him. Daddy was home with the two little ones, and me and Andy shopped and hung out together. I brought him to Old Navy and let him pick out some new clothes...and for the first time ever- he had an opinion on what he got. He walked past racks and picked out smalls and mediums depending on if it was pants or shirts. He picked out a hat and gloves and some stylin jeans. I just sat back and let him pick out his own things and you know what? He has better taste than his mama- thats for sure. He told me a few times that he was having so much fun. I told him I was too! After that we went to Target and got some Halloween candy and on the way home we went and got a hot chocolate at Caribou. We went in and he picked out the table for us to sit at and everything. It was SO much fun. He told me his favorite part was checking the tag on the clothes to make sure they were the right size...then he wanted to know if that was my favorite part too. I told him my favorite part of clothes shopping is finding nice clothes. This is the funny part...Jake wanted to bring them all to Lowes to get something the other night and Andy grumbled about it and said that he only likes clothes shopping with mommy. Woooohoooo! I guess we might need to make a few more trips to Lowes and Sears tool dept. every once and a while too.
Justin
My sweet little Justin played me like a fool last night! We had just gotten them all tucked into bed and I went down to the living room to try to do a little homework. I got myself snuggled in with my book and papers propped up on pillows so I could see them better and everything. I started flipping through my book and I hear a little noise at the bottom of the stairs. I look up over the back of the couch and see Justin. I was irritated for a second (because this is happening EVERY night latley). I tried to be strong and make him go back up to his bedroom by himself. I told him we already tucked him in and he needs to stay there and go back to bed. He is holding his little Moo and hugging it the way he does. (Like a baby... his little hand around the butt, he supports it's head with his other hand, and he rubs it's tail between his fingers). He says, "But Mommy...I want to snuggle with you." I am still trying not to get played by a three year old, so I tell him he can't just get out of bed for that and to go back upstairs. (that killed me, by the way). He hugs his Moo up closer to his face and says, "I love you to the moon and to the stars Mommy" and he turns away giving me his saddest puppy face ever. Ok, I LOSE...get over here so I can hug you. That turns into me carrying him up the stairs to his bed and tucking him in again. I told him I loved him and thanks for being my little snuggle bug. He smiled like a big shit because he knew I caved and he won. Yep. I got played..
Ryan
I am so excited for Ryan because he is starting to say more and more words. His newest are: Elmo, baby, All gone, choo choo, Molly (our cat), meow meow, bye bye, and instead of saying "no" when he doesnt want something, he says Hmm-mm. And one of my big favorites is that he sings Rock-a-bye baby with me now. All I can understand is bye baby- but hearing his little voice sing is so sweet. Today he was listening to Andy count something and he started mocking him...he wasnt really saying all of the numbers or anything , but he was saying two, two, two... and you could tell he was counting (or pretending to). I seriously can't belive what he understands either. If I tell him to go get his shoes, he goes and finds them wherever he left them and then sits down right in front of me with them. I will give him a skittle and then give him one more and tell him to give it to daddy or whoever is around- and he listens. He doesnt walk away and eat it. Hell...I would walk away and eat it, so the fact that he doesnt shocks me! And let me just say that the random hug for no reason is still one of the best things ever....even better when he pats you wtih his chubby little hands :) And one last thing...He is the ONLY one of the 3 boys who went to sleep when we put them to sleep tonight! Yay Ryan!!!
The other two are still getting up and it's 10:15.... tomorrow will be interesting! Boy do I feel sorry for their teachers :)
