How About We Change the World

As I type this it's breakfast time and each morning the boys get to watch 2 shows. Since teaching Pickle problem-solving skills he knows all about compromise. Lately when I need him to obey and he does not get a choice I have been saying, "I understand how you feel & I hear what you are saying, but this is not a compromise". So, just now after we discussed which show to watch next he tells me:

"This IS a compromise, how about we change the world and watch TWO shows?"

Ummm what? First off you DO get to watch 2 shows.

The Boy Loves Whistles!!

Pookie is walking now and that has helped his personality flourish even more. His favorite thing to do as of recent is to walk around the circle in our house and blow whistles. We have a few of them and I have even seen him whistle with 2 in his mouth and clap at the same time. So funny!

Child Labor

Oh, what a mother I am. I have gotten fed up cleaning up after my 3 years old that I now make him clean up his own messes if he made a big one. Does that make me a bad mother? Or good one? At least he is learning good cleaning skills.

Good Friends!

I am thankful for my wonderful friends, although they sometimes encourage me to be sleep deprived. Hope they don't kill me for posting this.

Pickles's 1st Karate class

I know the pictures are not great but the boys are so darn cute!! They all did such a great job following direction. They are such great friends to each other. W.C got a little upset and O1 and Pickle went to comfort him. So sweet!!!

Learning to protect his face.

Sweet Pookie!

He's just so darn cute! January 6th, he took his first steps. Daddy got to see them but I missed it. He did it at Pickle's Karate class. Since then he has been taking steps here and there every day. I cannot believe he is 10 months old already!!!
