I think I've jotted down three or four things my kids have done on a piece of paper down in the kitchen. Of course at this point I can't find it so I am trying to remember what they are.
Wednesday night, I was making dinner while talking with Aaron. The kids were in the back playing. Mid-sentence, Aaron says to me, "Look at your son". I look out the window and there he stands with his shorts & underwear around his ankles...peeing. He also had no shirt on so you could see his little butt and everything. He looked so proud and I have to say, I felt a little proud. He did the same thing yesterday while we were swimming in the little pool. He had to pee so bad, but he was SOAKING wet. So off to the edge of the woods he went.
Oh and before we headed outside yesterday we had to get some work done. We had lunch, we cleaned the living room, and cleaned their room. Max kept asking me, "Can we go out now?" I told him as soon as everything was cleaned up. We made it down to the living room and he says to me, "Momma, I'm starvin'".
"Starving? You just ate." I say back.
Then my son bends his knees, holds out his arms palms up like he does, rolls his eyes, and responds, "I'm starvin' to go outside". Pardon??? Where did he learn that???
Last night at dinner, Molly almost made me cry. I actually think a few tears came to my eyes.
We always start dinner with our "God is Good" prayer. Then we have a second prayer that begins, Dear Jesus, thank you for this day, thank you for this food and then we go around the table saying what we are thankful for. Max usually says he is thankful for something that we did that day. He said, "Thank you Jesus for Spiderman and the new baby". Then Molly says, "Thank you Jesus for the pawk (park)." Then she looks at me with her head tilted and resting on her praying hands and says, "Momma, what you thankful for? You thankful for your family?" Big knot in my throat immediately...my baby girl...you are growing up so quickly.
Then last night before bed Molly got a hold of the music box part of the baby's crib mobile. She cranked it up and said "Aww...for the baby?" And she walked straight over and put it on my tummy so that the baby could hear it.
Then the two of them ruined any sweet thoughts I had of them over those past 24 hours b/c of the complete tantrums they threw while being put to bed. That's a whole other post though and one that I can't write about not b/c it's morning and I can't do ANYTHING on the computer when they are around. I can't believe that I just got all of that down this morning.
Signing off for now to go and start my day as a mom.....
