M loves her baby brother!

Monday was like any other monday. M woke up and yells "DAAAAAD!" and again "DaaaaAAAaaaD! I'm ready to get up! DAAAAD!" and after a little bit of nothing... "MOOOOM!....MOM!....MoooooOOOOOOoooooMMMM! I'm ready to get up." and so I go and get her out of bed, and we schlump sleepily into the kitchen to get some cereal for breakfast. This morning I did not have E with me, because he was sound asleep in my bed. M had to go to the bathroom, so I took her through my bedroom to my bathroom, and when we were done we went back out for breakfast. I was fairly certain she did not notice E. When I was pouring our cereal this is what proceeded:


M: mom. where's my baby brother?

me: I don't know.

M (smiling at the game): No, where is E?

me: I don't know, M. Maybe he is GONE!

M: no. Where is that cute little guy with a mohawk?

me: I got rid of him.

M: no you didn't where is he?

me: No, M, I got rid of him. I didn't want him anymore so I got rid of him.

M (doesn't think this is a game anymore) starts to cry: Noooo. mooom. where is Eeee? where is he? :more crying:


I realize I took this just a little too far. have no fear though, I picked her up and showed her her baby brother asleep in bed, and she calmed down. But I learned my lesson. She really loves that little guy.


This is E's mohawk:

Dude, he's speaking to you with his face. As best he can. Let me interpret.

"Mom! What the Hell!"

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
