she...

She is walking. She is talking. She is something else. They say the 2nd child usually hits the milestones quicker than the 1st, but she amazes me! She started taking a few steps the week before Spring Break and just this week, she decided that crawling was under rated and walking was the bomb. It's fun to watch little Lennon follow Oliver everywhere and I think he's excited that she can kinda keep up. She has also learned to say "mine" (although it sounds more like "my"). Hmm, I wonder who taught her that? In one more week she'll be 11 months and I can only imagine what she'll be doing then. Stealing her Dad's credit card and going shopping? Hmm...

i love you too...

He gets me every time. That Oliver. He's 3 1/2 and quite the toddler. A little mini-me. Brash, sassy, short-tempered, impatient, needy, silly, and goofy. We go head-to-head a lot. He makes me so frustrated. But he gets me every time. I can be so mad. So done. Then he says, "I love you too mommy." My heart melts. I calm down. Give a big hug and tell him, "I love you too." It's not always easy, but I love that little boy.

these photo makes me happy...

Happiness

kinda back to normal...

I'm out of my fuzz - for now. I'm feeling kinda back to normal - or at least I'm trying to. I'm trying to focus on the positive and also the fact that Spring Break is 2 weeks away. Nothing special planned, but a break from work and 22 four year olds is much needed these days.

In other news...
Oliver has started to "roll his eyes" when he finds we're "nagging" him. Then he says, "OK Mommy" in a VERY sarcastic tone. To fix it, he tells us "I love you too Mommy" and "but I'm handsome". It works every time. Hmm.

Lennon now likes to tell you "NO", with a shake of the head and sticking her tongue out while spitting. It's so obnoxious, but too cute. Hmm.

Luckily, the two are adorable and I love them. They are starting to play and interact with one another. If one is not with the other, Oliver will ask for Lennon and Lennon will look for Oliver. Whatever Oliver does, Lennon tries to do (and most of the time she succeeds). Yesterday, Lennon got stuck in one of his toys and he came running to tell us, "Lennon's in trouble". I'm so thankful we have them both.
