Growing Pains.

Spring is here, spring is here, it's the best time of the year.

Well not today, it rained cats and dogs all day long today. And not yesterday either because it must have been practicing to rain all day today. But the day before that was okay and a couple of days previous to that were beautiful and I think tomorrow and the rest of the week are supposed to be beautiful. And it doesnt seem to get better than that around here. Tyler said they had a fire drill today... ahem, on the day it rained tons,... he said the alarm was broken, probably water logged and they all had to go outside, but they didn't go outside he said because they did not have their rain gear on. Instead they all piled into Ms. Patricia's car (not an minivan may I add a hatchback I think) and they sang songs!!! AND, Tyler added, Max drew on the back window!!!HA That's got to be worth the tuition!!

This is Tyler garden he is so excited to see it growing. It grows slow and it is paining him, but it is helping him to understand how long it takes things to grow...like himself. We have had to cut back on saying..." You're such a great big brother" now it's "You're a great older brother".
Big and little were becoming an obsession, and I mean " Hey MA my pee pee is getting bigger too!!" Good morning Tyler that is a great observation :)

Poor Chloe is getting her first teeth. Tyler had no problems teething, but not Chloe, drool, poop, snot, everything, sleepy no nap, and cranky. Plus I think she was getting over a cold. Poor girl. But they are coming and she will be happy to have them once they come in, because she loves to eat.

Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful, hopefully we will make it to the grocery store. Tyler has one extra day at school this week for a Easter fun day with felt eggs hatching and grass gardens growing, I think there will be a hunt, he is super excited to see Jack Frost go away until next winter and has resumed his fondness for muddy puddles...the school kids swam in them, literally ! Well, pray for Mr. Sun to please shine down on us tomorrow and warm things up!

Huggs.

Another Year


How much emotion is tied up into your baby turning four. He actually gets that he is a year older, he realizes that birthdays are a big deal. Or maybe he just knows toys are involved. But he is more excited to be four than anything I can imagine.
He is so proud..."I love being four Mommy!!!"

MLK Day

I told Tyler a five minute story about MLK.
All he could repeat back to me was that he got shot and had to go to the doctor.
He also retained the way I explained unfair treatment using ice cream, he was so upset about the fact Chloe was going to get ice cream in my example and he wasn't that he could not hear the rest of the story.
Tyler also could not understand why someone would work so hard to freeze...peeze,peace!

Tyler also asked today how the people were, who had their houses fall down...
...tear...
They are doing better.
Did they get the food we took them?...the applesauce and peanut butter?
...tear...yes.

I found out today that one of my girlfriends from college was in the earthquake, she is okay.
She says the UN in worthless, useless, clueless.

In the past two days my son has watched a whole entire Black nation crumble, followed by a celebration of a black man that was murdered after trying to help the nation. Where are the good pictures... Barack Obama maybe, hopefully but that story is not over yet!
