So it’s been since APRIL since I’ve made a post! Wow! Things have been crazy, as usual! Pregnancy is going well… See baby blog… http://myfinalbabybump.wordpress.com/ Kids are doing well, and growing like mad!
Cooper: Coop-Man is now two years old! Last week he learned how to use the potty. Actually, the day he turned 25 months was his first totally dry day. So so proud of the little stinker! He’s still in LOVE with his blankies and thumb. It’s more of an obsession really. He’s also moved into a big boy bed in the last month or so. That is not going quite as well as the potty training, but it’s not terrible. Just a couple weeks ago, the boy decided to climb up to the top part of the Mc Donalds play land… and refuse to get down. I had to crawl my roundish pregnant self up there and get him back down! Stinker! And the other morning when I got up before him, he went into my room and found Ella in my spot and proceeded to SCREAM at Ella,
“Ella WHERE is MOMMY? AH_LAAAA Where is MOOOOOMMMMYYYY?”
Ellison: Ella is still our little “Dirty Birdie.” She is such a little princess, but how that child gets SO dirty is beyond me! She is always always hanging upside down or climbing on things and hanging in weird positions. Yesterday she actually fell off the bench while we were SITTING down to eat dinner. I laughed… A LOT! (And actually got “the look” from Jay for it. Apparently he was trying to scold her, and he can’t do that if I’m laughing. Whatever, it was funny stuff! She’s also pretty good and some funny lines lately!
“Ava, I get to go with Daddy because I’m more beautiful than you!”
“When I grow up, I want to be a mom just like you!”
“Fishing, fishing, we’re going fishing today…”
“If you tickle my butt, then your finger will smell like butt.” NO I am NOT joking! This really was said when Grandpa pinched her butt yesterday!
Avali: And of course, Miss Ava Girl… Miss Ava is going back and forth between an amazing big girl and helper and the other extreme… more like a tantruming, dramatic, cry at the drop of a hat toddler. It’s been… um a learning experience? I think we’re starting to get it figured out and how to stop it before the total break down begins. She is also growing like crazy, now has FOUR loose teeth! My first baby is going to lose teeth soon! Won’t be long now and she’ll be heading into kindergarten! When, oh when, did this happen?
And a recent line from Ava:
“Mom, I just want to go see God and where he died, and give him flowers.” So I told her, we couldn’t because it was SO far away… and she said, “And there are no roads?” Umm yes exactly Ava, no roads. ”Then how did God get there?” Ummm he rode a camel Ava? ”Then we could ride horses to get there, right Mom?” Probably not Ava… sorry!
