Springtime!
I can not believe we’re ½ way through April. Kids are loving their new classes; preschool, t-ball, dance and music! We had a nice little spring break with Grandma (from of Ohio) visiting even though Daddy was traveling for work. We tried to pack in as much stuff as we could in our days; 5 classes, 2 museums and a trip to the zoo. We had a lot of fun! You would think with all the excitement and running around, they would allow their mama to sleep in a little…but that was not really the case.
Other stories
Brett picks out his own clothes most days…one morning he came down with a bright orange Paris shirt, red and grey OSU shorts with blue and yellow dump truck socks…it was awesome.
Bailey said at breakfast that her ‘banana wants to go see his friends’. I said, ‘Oh where is that?’ She proceeded to open her mouth and toss the rest of the fruit in her mouth.
It was storming another morning with some pretty loud thunder. Bailey trembled and said ‘Oh the rain makes me SO NERVOUS!’
I told Bailey to have her daddy check her diaper…she backed up to him, turned her head to look at him and said ‘smell it’.
Brett said ‘Oh yeah! Rock On!’ I asked, where did that come from. He said, ‘you taught me that’. Wow, what a cool mom you have!
One of Bailey’s favorite phrases now seems to be ‘um…probably not’.
After the storm Brett asked why it was so quiet. I told him the storm was over, it moved somewhere else. Brett got very concerned where it went and then decided we needed to call Grandma and Grandpa in Ohio because it was ‘probably going to go there next’.
I was lucky enough to take Brett to preschool his first week. When I picked him up I asked him how it went. He said, ‘well I got sad for a little bit and cried for you but then I put myself together after I fell to pieces.’ He then picked Superdawg for his special 1st day of preschool lunch.
Brett asked why I was sitting on the couch one evening…I told him I was tired, I was taking a break. He said ‘Oh, did I take all your power again?’
Bailey was playing with her Princess Belle doll, trying to change her diaper. She kept saying ‘Relax, Relax, ReLAX, so I can change you!’. Ironically her father said the same thing to her the night before...
We were taking Bailey for her first dance class and we hear someone yell for Brett. Brett’s little wrestling friend, Max, was there waiting for his sister. Without discussion, or prompting, the two shook hands and started wrestling. Daddy was so proud.
Brett was telling a story about bad guys getting caught by the police and said ‘and then they put the hand traps on them’…’Oh, you mean handcuffs?’. ‘Yeah mom, hand traps.’
Bailey said she was going to ‘brush daddy’s no-hair’
During lunch Brett exclaimed, ‘Arugula is so yummy!’ The kid loves salad.
In the same meal, he told me ‘When I grow up I’m going to live right beside you so when you come visit, it’s a short cartrip!’ I will remind him of this when he wants to move away for college…maybe I should have him put it in writing.
Bailey asked Colin to hold hands with her and told me they were married. Then they posed for pictures…oh boy.
Brett procrastinated taking a nap yesterday and of course by the time he was really sleeping, it was time to get up. I tried to wake him, talked to him for a while and resorted to tickling, which always works. Picked him up and told him we were going to get in the car. His head on my shoulder, eyes closed, he said ‘My mom….’ Turned his head. ‘My mother….’ Eyes still closed. I said, ‘yes, your mother?’. Turned his head again, grinned and said ‘My mother is crazy’
