Goo

Sometimes I call Grace, Gracie-goo. Jack started calling her that too. Then today he started calling me Mommy-goos. I love it! It sounds so sweet coming from his little mouth.

Big Boy

Jack is potty trained. He did such a good job, and can do it all by himself. We are still in diapers at bedtime, but big boy undies during the day. He also got visited by the pacifier fairy last week, and hasn't asked for it. He grew up a lot these last few weeks. Now when he argues that he is a big boy, I can say, yes you are.

Who Makes The Rules?

Grace: Mom can I have a jelly bean?
Me: No
Grace: But I said when we get home I can have a treat.

Well, If she said so....

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The kids were outside playing when I heard a horrible scream. It was Jack. Then I heard Grace with terror in her voice calling me for help. I ran out there and there was Jack screaming at me, 'bugs on me'. He had a spider crawling up his arm. I knocked it off, but I guess playtime was over.
I would have done the same thing. But not what I would have expected from Jack.

Watch What You Say

Jack has picked up something that I say. I am glad that we don't curse, or say things that we wouldn't want our children to say. Although I would prefer him not to say this, but I think it is too funny. He has started to say - Darmik

I think he means Darn It

Absence

I have been dealing with 2 sick kids for the last week and a half. Fevers, vomit, and very needy children has been very exhausting. I am glad it seems we are finally on the end of whatever has been infecting my kids. Here's to hoping we start the weekend healthy and it carries us into next week, and back to routine.
