I guess I should just jump right in. I am realizing that "this is it" ! My babies are growing up right now. I don't want to forget anything- or look back and wonder if I did everything I could, gave enough hugs and kisses. And they are so adorable- the things they say, do- get into. It should be documented for their sake. So here is an online journal of our life- our days.
Sweet little 3 is already 4 months old. Aside from having tummy troubles still he is the sweetest, happiest little baby. He is so patient and amused by what his brothers are into. When little 2 is a mess, little 3 just watches and waits. Little 2 had a hard time today. His 2 year molars are cutting through and I think it just puts him on edge. He is exactly 2 1/2 and what a mess. He growls when he cries, when he is mad and even when he is playing sometimes. He just has this gravel to his voice, especially when he is mad. It is pretty annoying. He is persistent like his daddy and eventually I cave. He has such a strong personality. But I love him to pieces. Today we started the day by running out to the backyard to finish planting some ferns and layout some pine straw. We had to do it pretty quick, Little 3 takes his best nap in the morning. So we all 3 ran outside and dug some holes. Little 2 and Little 1 played in the creek and looked for worms. Little 1 is ALL about his friends right now. His bff lives next door so soon he was asking to go play. Today is Monday- I usually do the laundry, but I was too excited about the ferns my dad gave me. I have been trying to finish planting the backyard and I can say that particular area is now finished (after about 3 weeks) Daddy built beautiful rock stairs leading down to the creek so it is much safer for the kids to get up and down the hill. So the majority of my day was spent outside planting. We just planted a river birch near the front of the house on Saturday. It has 3 trunks, I thought it symbolizes my 3 boys. House is full of dirty clothes, but my garden looks great!
At this point in life (and for the past 6 months I would say) Little 2 LOVES tools and tractors. He cries for screwdrivers and hammers and wrenches. I give in sometimes and let him carry a screwdriver around (how horrible and dangerous) but today it was a shovel. He knows the real thing to. Although he makes believe that nail clippers are his swiss army knife. crazy kid.
Little 1 is 5. He gave me a heart attack today. He knows the rules when he is playing outside, where he can go. I went to call for him and couldn't find him. I had to leave Little 2 inside asleep and go search for Little 1. I finally found him all the way at the end of the street with some neighbor friends. I was in a panic. I wasn't sure how to impress upon him how BAD that was. So I put him in the "thinking closet" a stall shower in the guest bathroom, for 5 minutes and then told him he couldn't play with his friends the rest of the day. Or course they all found him in the backyard a few hours later. Man. I have had dreams of him being taken, and there is just no room for error. He absolutely has to obey my outside rules. I hope he got the message, but I am not sure it was painful enough since he ended up playing with all of his friends in our backyard. Oh well. So today was pretty regular. I am trying to loose this baby weight too! arg. If I could just loose my appetite things would be perfect. But daddy and I are on this vegan kick (since I am off dairy for the baby) and I have been cooking (for the first time in my life) all of these amazing vegetable dishes. Most of them are even fat free and vegan. But I like to eat cookies at night. haha! All the Littles are asleep and I watch movies and eat brownies - however, they are made with stevia a tiny bit of sugar and pumpkin pie mix. I wouldn't serve them to anyone so I can't figure out why I am still a big mama. I am trying to kick it starting tonight. no more big belly! ha! We'll see. Hopefully Little 2 sleeps ok, we gave him meds for his teeth. He was an absolute mess when I kissed him goodnight.
