I don't think I can wait until January. The American Idol fans know what I'm talking about. The next season of AI starts and that it toooooo far away. As most of you know my dad comes over every Tuesday and brings dinner and we watch AI. Yes, we know we are losers. But Jordan won! I'd like to take credit for her victory since I did stay on the phone until 10:00 p.m. last night voting for her but I won't. Oops, I forgot Chad said I should be embarrassed that I voted and to not tell anyone. My secrets safe, right?
Today Adam graduated from the lazy-man-army crawl to an actual crawl. We were at Aunt Kim's house and she told Adam she was going to get him. He got so excited that he pushed that butt in the air, tucked those knees under and took off. It was a proud moment for mommy. Of course it was a little sloppy and we do need to work on it but he did it. Now he can keep up with Jack.
As I posted earlier about the boys not sharing the ball, well we continue to have issues. Usually it's Jack taking the toy right out of Adam's hand. Adam then cries this heavy hearted broken cry. I then usually take the toy out of Jack's hand, give the toy back to Adam and hand Jack something different. I have started to try to let them figure it out and will only intervene if needed. Well, today Adam decided he wanted Jack's toy and he pushed him to the ground. Jack fell back and hit his head on the floor. Adam continued to grab the dog collar (yes, I let my kids chew on Lola's collar) then he went about his business. Jack cried for a second and was over it. I think it's time I start reading about how to deal with these boys as they get older.
I also have discovered something today. It crossed my mind before but I didn't really figure it out until today. What, you say is the big discovery? Well, Jack likes to poop in a clean diaper. I don't know how many times that I have changed his diaper and literally 2 minutes later I smell something. And it's not roses I'm smelling either. That little stinker waits until he has a clean diaper on to poo. I guess I don't blame him but I change enough diapers to have to deal with that. And as those who have watched Adam and Jack know there are a lot of diapers to be changed! When do I start potty training?
