Mr busy body

We were roller coastering in the front a few days ago and it used to be that C would just hang out like a nice calm human but those days are over. It was a little windy and the leaves were blowing all over so he was chasing them and for some reason he kept "chasing" them down near the road. Why kids feel the need to approach dangerous situations constantly I will not ever know but this was my solution:



You're going nowhere my friend. Deal with it!

Pee pee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never thought I'd take so many pics of one humans butt BUTTTTTTT this kid is killing me so I've taken one about 37 times today:












I realize I risk jinxing us but this morning we went to target




and got my little buddy some big boy "un-wear!"and after his nap I decided to give it a go. And he went SEVEN times all on his own without me ever asking. He would just say "mommy! Pee pee!" And we would run to the potty and get it done!
This has been monnnnnthhhssss in the making so don't get the wrong idea here. We have read books, we have watched Elmo potty movies, we go potty with mommy five times a day, we have checked out big boy underwear many different times, we talk about presents and stickers he gets when he goes......so what I'm saying is, he knows the deal. He is old enough, he gets it, I felt like it was time so we went for it and I thiiiiiink we might be onto something.
Decky- I'm so proud of you my sweet baby!!!!! You're the man!!!

Oh buddy buddy buddy.....

The hits just keep coming. You and I took a drive to Florence yesterday to see your eye doctor for a three month check up and I was A) looking forward to it but B) dreading it. Ever since we brought your prescription down because you were having trouble seeing long distances with the glasses on, your eyes have been crossing again. Even with the glasses on. And that's what I wanted to talk to the doctor about but he beat me to it asking how often your eyes are crossing in a fairly concerned voice. "Well........pretty often". Bam. You might need surgery. And I was choking back tears for the rest of the visit when you two did all the tests because I just can't stand that all this keeps happening. To my innocent little boy. It's making me physically ill. 

I guess in 90% of kids, glasses solve the farsighted, cross eyed problem until you guys grow out of it BUT YOU, my sweet sweet baby, you are once again in the small percentage who its not helping. 

So...with all of this, we head back the day after Christmas for a visit and if your numbers have gotten even worse we will talk about scheduling sx. 

This year has been quite the kick in the ass but if you do in fact need surgery on your eyes (don't even get me started on how many horrible things I've imagined happening during sx), then so be it. Another day, another obstacle. LIFE ROCKS!!!!!! 

Its a damn good thing that your daddy is as strong as he is and as much as you take after me (in all the bad ways), you are such a badass like your daddy and I'm so so so thankful that you have his attitude and strength. You guys keep me going.

  

         

                         The good news about all of this is that you are a loooooooooooooot cuter than me, Decky Doo. A LOT. Kenan, you and C are beautiful. And chubby ;)

Getting brave

Many days now I will find Carrig under the ottoman (stuck screaming) or a chair or the bed or Declan's stool:

Just two random pics after I picked decky up from school yesterday:

Both C and I were still in pjs at noon. And it was awesome. And he was eating Cheerios off the mat.



Declan kept putting on my sunglasses and saying "oooo mommy really dark" - yes. Yes it is. And those are the one nice thing I've bought myself since you have been born buddy so put them down immediately. Gracias.
