On Learning

As I sit in here in the wee hours, wondering how I learn what I know today, I realize how amazing the learning process is. From watching Nicholas copying Audrey's every move to ones he create, I am so thrill by just watching. My little man can put on shoes, not his though, but hers...Audrey's shoes, ones that are a couple of sizes too big. Then he sees me wearing slippers one day, slippers that are too big on me, the very second I take him off, he picks them up, walks away with it, and then puts his tiny feet in those huge slippers. Flopped around the room like a little penguin. Bring tears to my eyes just thinking about how funny it was.

Oh, but it doesn't end there...we were upstairs getting bath tub ready for their bath, turn around he has my lavender headband on, yes, the one I use daily when washing my face...he had placed it on just as I put it on! For a second or two I swear he look just like little Audrey when she was a year old.

And not to forget the YOGA! I've got a yoga nut girl and a funny yoga baby! Its truly an amazing thing to see, these two on the floor doing those silly poses. Some time ago, I don't know when or why, but he would walk up and around me and kiss me at the neck and back. Then causally walks away. Such a romantic little guy!

Beautiful weather brings bugs...

March and April have such lovely weather, birds chirping, sun shinning, breezy all day long, everything is so nice...even the bugs enjoy it. So they come out and attack our kids!! Left and right, kids are sick. Mines got their share. Audrey came home from preschool with a runny nose that turn into a cold. Gave it to Nicholas, who in turn toss it to me. But poor baby had a fever for 5 days, ended up with Roseola! Thank goodness it only lasted one day!

So the kids are good now but I'm stuck with the cold to deal with. So happy they are well though and they are so understanding that I am not feeling that well. They ate breakfast quietly and then took naps afterward. They are such good sports. Totally love them!

Wet baby SOAK diapee

Today was such an adventure, days go by when nothing much happens, not much you care to write about. Then there are days that have so much going on, its crazy to jot it all down. Today was one of those, I'm sore tired and sore that I should just go soak in a hot bath. But I got too much work to do still!

Before I do anything else, I just have to share a little story. I went abouts my routine, turning on the water to fill the baby tub, then ran to their rooms to get clothing for them. Audrey comes running to me, "MOMMY!! Nicholas went in the water but he didn't take his clothes off!" Great job son, you are so good, you can almost bathe yourself. Shall I help you blow dry yourself after you finish with the bath?? Yah..right. So I got him out and took his clothes off, since I have not started potty training, his diaper is still on, a size 5 huggies. I had no idea it can hold that much liquid! That things was like 10 pounds! OK, maybe 5 or 6 for the very least. It was fully soaked for sure! and he was just enjoying himself! What a day.
