Knock Out

3/26/11

Jake has now helped to knock out both of Alex's front teeth. Jake hit the first tooth with a toy and today he knocked out the other by jumping on Alex's face. Both teeth were a little loose but not ready to come out. Now both front teeth are gone and I think it will be a while before there are any teeth to replace them. I am just grateful they are baby teeth.

Nothing is Safe

We have to lock up a lot of things to keep the boys out of stuff and breakable things safe. With Jake around this is very difficult. Here he is trying to get into the pantry. If that boy wants something there is not much that can stop him....even me.

Poor Sick Little Baby

3/9/11
I hate it when I have a sick baby. It makes me feel so bad for them. Today I took Spencer to the doctors because when he woke up this morning both his eyes were stuck shut. Not only does he have an infection in his eyes, but both ears are infected and he night have walking pneumonia. Not totally sure on the last one since he wouldn't cough for the doctor but he sounded really congested when he was breathing. We got antibiotics to treat it all. No wonder he has been such a grumpy baby.

Barbies.....Not Just For Girls

3/7/11
Apparently when you go to McDonalds and you tell them the happy meals are for boys, they give you barbies. That is what happened when I took the boys there for dinner tonight. The funny thing is, all three of my boys were excited to have the doll. Alex even asked if I had a barbie brush he could use to brush the doll's hair.

Makin' Lunch

3/6/11
When I got out of the shower today I found Jake making lunch for him and Spencer. He got the hot dogs out of the fridge and cooked them in the microwave. He even cut up Spencer's hot dog. I thought this was very nice of him. Maybe Jake is trying to make up for taking the lamp in my front room apart and rearranging the furniture, which he did earlier today.

More "Beers" Please

3/4/11
Spencer decided that he wanted some rootbeer, which he calls "beers" and figured he would pour himself his own cup. He got the rootbeer out of the fridge and climbed on the counter to get a cup. He put the cup on the shelf in the cabinet and proceded to pour the rootbeer into it. Rootbeer was everywhere, and he managed to get a little in the cup as well. Jake has taught him well.

Poop on the Walls

3/3/11
One thing I have learned from being a mom is that children are disgusting. Jake confimed this by sticking his finger in his poopy diaper. (Oh how I wish he would let me potty train him!!)When he saw the poo on his finger he thought it was gross, which is was, and wiped it on the wall. Then he went and washed his hands. Why couldn't he have just washed his hands in the first place? And why wipe it on the wall? It is never ok to have poo on the wall! That is Jake though. We don't understand a lot of what he does.
