The Girls and a Secret

Ok for the past few days we have been watching 2 girls (4 and 5) and my boys have been loving it, except for the part about not wanting to play Sleeping Beauty. Anyway yesterday while they were all playing Asher was crying because he was hungry so I went inside to fill his hollow leg while the rest were playing out side.

A few minutes later the oldest girl came in saying "Samuel's Father, Samuel's Father, your brothers are not listening to me. They are not sharing the bikes and I told them that if they do not get off they would have to do 3 pushups." Of course they are military children as well as you may have noticed form that statement. So I went out to see what was going on and Samuel and the 4 year old girl had decided to run away together and was zooming off on the tricycles down the hill together. Samuel said he did not like the older girl telling him what to do. He likes to be the boss with Andy and Asher.

Anyway Samuel loves it when they come over to play so when their mother came to pick them up he asked if they could come over tomorrow and Saturday with the following comment "Can they come over and play tomorrow and and and come over Saturday for a sleep over?"

Anyway they were not able to because we are heading out of town today for Mommy's family reunion and a super secret co-op 3 hour visit to Borger TX for my class reunion. Don't tell anyone because I did not tell any of my family there since Mommy has been so nice to give me a 10 hour bubble during her family time to drive to Borger, go to the reunion, and drive back.

Well last night Samuel asked me if I could have a sleep over with him but unfortunately Mommy said I could not because I had too much to do before we left on our trip. But it would have been a blast!

Sticky Hands

The other day during nap time I had the hardest time getting Andy to go to sleep. I would hear noise in his bedroom so I would go in there just to catch him jumping back in bed. After a little while of this he finally came out of his room and I told him to go back and take his nap but he replied "I sticky Daddio, I sticky. I need to wash my hands."

Not knowing why he was sticky I checked his hands and sure enough they were so I asked how that got that way and all excitedly he said "Come and see Daddio, I show you." So with his sticky hand he grabs mine and brings me into his room and proudly shows me 5 sucker sticks sitting on a box in his closet. Some were a while back we got 5 suckers and put them in one of the temporary diaper bags. He must have remembered and had climbed upon the "big screen" to get into the bag and ate all 5 suckers. I guess he gets this from the Blattner side.

Asher Eats and Eats and Eats

So yesterday Asher was throwing a fit everytime I set him down to eat and did not figure it out at first but then at breakfast he threw down his bottle and crawled over to the boys table and ate about a quarter of Samuel's granola bar.

Then for lunch he was not a happy camper either! He kept looking over at what the boys were eating (which was pizza, actually pizza crust with hamburger toppings no cheese or sauce). So I heated him up a piece and broke about a third of it up in small pieces for him. I set the rest on the table and went to the bathroom. When I came back he had the rest in his hands and was chewing on it with the small pieces I made still on his plate. He ended up eating the whole thing, the small pieces, AND 2 jars of baby food (which is what he typically has).

For dinner I was eating a sandwich and chips while feeding him his food, which he took hesitantly. After eating it he started getting fussy and reaching for my food so I gave him a corn chip and he ate it! In fact he ate 3 of my chips before I ran out.

THEN at my softball game Mommy brought him a granola bar since he was eating everything in the world and he ate the whole thing! This little monkey things that since he has 6 teeth now it entitles him to eat me out of a house. The next thing you know he will be drinking my Mtn Dew and eating Mommy's Ice Cream!

Sleeping Beauty

Today, we had 2 girls come over, one 5 and the other just turned 4 I think. Anyway the first thing Samuel wanted to do was play "Sleeping Beauty," in fact he was getting so upset because neither one of them wanted to play it. So after he came to me the third time upset because the girls wanted to play trains instead I ask him how do you play Sleeping Beauty.

He then informed me that you play it like Kalie did which I had no clue how she did it. So I continued with "How is that?" Which he replied with "One person pretends to be sleeping and the other sneaks up and gives them a slimy kiss to wake the other up." A girl taught my son this! I am never letting him hang around girls unattended again.

Last time I did was when Grace and Saidee lived by us. The 3 were inside of Grace's house while her mother and I talked and I fed Andy (he was Asher's age then). Well Samuel came out upset so we asked why and he said he did not want to be the doctor. So we go inside and Grace and Saidee were playing "Pregnancy." One was laying on the bed with her legs spread and the other was at the bottom and would say push then reach up and push on the others stomach to as Saidee said "poop out a baby.

At least he does not want Polly Pocket and My Little Ponies anymore.

Song for Mommy

Mommy Loves Me This I know

For Daddy tells me so

Hooligans to Her belong

We are weak but she is Army Strong

Yes Mommy Loves me

Yes Mommy Loves Me

Yes Mommy Loves Me

Because Daddio tells me so
