Brooming, Macella and the Camboose

Just a few of the things i want to remember M saying.

He was late to talk, this boy of mine. We'd sit and read him books. Point out familiar objects. Sing him songs and still only a handful of words at 18 months. Slowly he added to his vocabulary (as most kids do) and its grown now into sentences filled with words that sometimes i am surprised he even knows the meaning of. Things like "interesting" or "actually"...used appropriately!

As proud as i am for all the words that he knows, i am still in love with the few words he still mixes up or mispronounces. He says Brooming for sweeping. He calls the Acella train the Macella..and a caboose a "Camboose". He once in a while will say he is "hidening"..when we play hide and seek. (that is a favorite of mine! "mom i'm hidening. come find me"...) He calls Burger King- King Burger and Toilet paper has occasionally been called Paper Toilet. Oh, and his newest is a strange but cute one. He calls the dash in a phone number a "crumb"...555 -crumb- 1212. I have no idea where he got that word, but he is 100% sure that is what the dash is called!

This little boy is turning 4 this week! FOUR! and he's learned so many words.
But by far the best thing he says (at least to date) is when he puts his arms around me and says "i can love you if you want!"

3/28

i just looked at the calendar. it is 3/28...
2 yrs ago today was the day i found out i was having TWINS! I remember finding out i was having 2 babies AND going on immediate bedrest/home nursing care just a few mins later and how i was so scared and freaking out about having to take care of M too who was a week shy of 2 yrs old. Funny how at the time it seemed like such a huge BURDEN! ack. When i think of it now, it makes perfect sense....i was growing TWO HUMAN BEINGS and the sacrifices were small potatoes. it seemed like such a long time (2 1/2 months on midline catheter meds/in bed 24 hours a day....) but when i think of it now, seems like it flew by....and now i have my beautiful 17 month old holy terrors!

crazy!

zzzzzzzzzz

S*L*E*E*P

I just cant get my schedule to allow enough time for this hot commidity! Especially this week. From the time i got up on Friday morning (7am) until I went to bed last nite at 10p...i had only managed to get a combined ELEVEN HOURS of sleep! Between a crazy weekend at work and a sick Baby K (complete with 2 visits to the pediatrician and pharmacy waiting for various perscriptions)..and normal weekend activities SLEEP was pretty much a bust!

Tried to catch up last nite but both babies seemed to have different ideas. J was up a few times and then K was up after that. {sigh} Guess that's what you sign up for when you have kids.

Must be why God supplied the earth with COFFEE. had to make sure there was a natural supply of caffine around to keep parents functioning!
