Nature's Toilet

Since the weather has been so wonderful lately, we have found ourselves out doors more often. The nice thing about boys is when they need to go to the bathroom at places such as the park, all they need is a tree & they're covered. Adam has noticed his brothers doing this and has decided this is what trees are for. Each time we walk by a tree, he says, "Mommy, poo poos." I have indulged him a few times just to see what he does. The first time I opened his diaper at the park and he just stood there. The next time was in our front yard. I got him all ready and after he stood there for a minute I told him to go. He immediately starts making this sound with his mouth, "ssssssss." He might be ready for potty training.

Growing Up

Adam is learning new words almost every day. We have a new conversation we do multiple times a day.
Adam: Mommy?
Me: What Bubba?
Adam: Ah you?
Me: Right here.
Adam: Oh tay.
It warms my heart to hear his little voice. I was watching a family movie last night where Hunter was a newborn & Jacob was a chubby little 3 year old. It made me sad to think how fast it goes. I can't even imagine Adam as an older kid. I just want him to stay my sweet little baby always!!

All three asleep at the same time on our way home from Pinetop. It's a small miracle! One hour left..keeping my fingers crossed.

Glasses

Guess which one of them really needs glasses. Or which one of them I would allow to wear those frames!!

Really Tired

On our way home from family dinner, Hunter tells me he's 35 tired. Whoa we need to get that kid to bed stat!

School (Day 4)

Jacob is sprawled out on the kitchen floor after school.
"I am fatigued!" he proclaims.
"Did you just say 'fatigued'?" I ask him?
"Yes," he tells me. "It means really tired."
It laugh and assure him I know what 'fatigued' means. I am just surprised he does! Apparently school is doing its job!

School (Day 2)

Hunter woke me up at 6:03 a.m. this morning telling me it was time for school. I jumped out of bed then looked at the clock and realized he was up a bit early. I climbed back into bed, explaining my alarm would go off when it was time to get up for school. At 6:39 a.m. He came back in to wake me up for school. This time I checked the clock before moving. I explained that my alarm would go off in 5 minutes and that is when I would get out of bed. I also asked him to not ever wake me up for school unless the first number was a 7. Hunter came out and asked Trevor to tell him when 5 minutes was so he could make sure I was up. Needless to say, he is still excited about school.
