This is such a random post, but who cares. First off, I wanted to share some funny things from around our place.
Allie has never been faithfully to one object, except her thumb. AJ has always needed his binkie and the same puppy, but Allie often chooses something different she wants to sleep with. This has made her crib full of stuff. Recently, she has been wanting to sleep holding all of it. After she goes to sleep, I sneak in and move it all so she doesn't smoother herself under the mess.
Lately Allie has been doing her #2 on the toilet quite a bit, but the problem is Allie will hold it until she absolutely cannot hold it anymore. Last night she kept asking to "Poop on toilet" so we put her on and in an effort to get her to relax and let it go, I read her a book. She ended up sitting there for along time looking at a book.
This is AJ patiently waiting for Allie to finish her business. He is OBSESSED with his cars and trucks lately. He is very possessive of them and doesn't want to share. The car he is driving in this picture is such a piece. It falls apart all the time and he brings it to me and says "Mommy, FICK it! FICK it, please" I love to hear those words, they make me laugh.
Last night the kids and I attempted to carve pumpkins. I wanted to do two, but one ended up being all the motivation I had. The kids were so helpful scooping out the insides and then enjoyed a cupcake our neighbors brought over for them.
The other night I made stir fry, knowing full well that Alberto and the kids would not like it. AJ however, surprised me. He gobbled it up as if it was his last meal and the best food he ever ate. What a happy day for a mommy of two picky toddlers!
