This little blog is WAY overdue for a random kid update. Time is passing, and details are slipping from my memory one scrambled mom brain moment at a time so I have to document what I can.
Let's start with this little girl, shall we?
What's New: She finally got some teeth! I know you were all worried, so sorry about the delay in getting this information to you. She uses the teeth to smile all cheesy whenever I pull out my phone to check Facebook (and now Instagram! Find me!) so I am pretty much obligated to take a picture of her adorable face quite frequently.
What's Old: Since I know there is nothing more interesting than hearing about how tired other people are. She still doesn't sleep. At night or during the day. Thanks for asking.
How She's Contributing: She's my little sidekick, to the point that babyproofing hasn't yet become necessary because she's never out of my sight.
How She's Adorable: She sings along to Taylor Swift (unintelligibly) and her crazy, gorgeous hair gets comments everywhere we go.
What Needs To Be Documented:
Recent stats
Height: 29.75 inches (28th percentile)
Weight: 23 lbs 3 oz (55th percentile)
Head: 18.9 inches (94th percentile)
Moving on to offspring #1
What's New: He finished preschool. This would be harder to take if his October birthday didn't give me a whole other year before Kindergarten comes calling.
What's Old: He can be bribed or threatened to eat anything, but the only three things he eats willingly are dessert, Happy Meals and pancakes.
How He's Contributing: He keeps us on schedule, never lets me forget a promise, and rats me out to Reo when I let him have a cookie with breakfast.
How He's Adorable: He reads himself to sleep every night, writes love notes and gives unsolicited hugs.
What Needs to be Documented:
Crowd favorite! Random stuff Holden says--
To Reo: "This book is only for young boys and old girls. YOU are an old boy."
and while roughhousing. "DAD! You are hurting me! Your own son!"
Character on TV: How would YOU feel if you couldn't catch the ball?
Holden to TV: Oh, well, I could catch the ball, so.....
To Me: "MOM, don't look! You are not going to like this commercial. It's all about kids growing up!
While getting lunch: "Mom, do you know what is rude? That customer just gave that worker the stink eye."
and my personal favorite as told to me by his Primary teacher at church:
after being told a story about people drinking out of rivers and streams.
"Wait...if they drank out of rivers and streams, wouldn't they get Dysentary??"
