My Babies!

Hello Blog World.  It has been a long time.  Yes, I know.  I am a horrible blogger.  But I am going to attempt to become a better blogger.  So to start off my new attempt at blogging, here is a story of what happen to me today.

Here is a common story in our house.  Events like this usually happen daily and I am learning to just laugh and move on.  This is what happen this afternoon.

The kids were playing outside and I had just finished feeding Ella.  Ella had spit up on herself, so I was getting ready to change her outfit.  As I take off her outfit I discover that she has pooped all over herself, all up her back, almost to her neck.  At this point, because I hadn't realized she had pooped while I was taking off her outfit, the poop is now all over the changing pad, Ella's legs and my hands.  Then I hear Addison coming to the door crying.  As the door opens up, there stands Addison covered from head to foot in potting soil.  Apparently Hunter poured what was left in the potting soil bag on Addison's head.  I successfully stop Addison from coming into the house (and making a big mess in the house).  Ella is now crying, probably because she is cold and still covered in poop.  Then Hunter walks up to the door and states that he has to poop.  This typically means that I have a few seconds to get him to the potty or else he poops in his pull-up.  So I have to decide what to handle first, messy Addison, poopy Ella, or soon to be poopy Hunter.

Don't you wish you were a fly on the wall at our house?!?!

It's a girl! Due Date is September 16th.

Heard in my house today . . .

Addison: Boys pee standing, but I pee sitting down.

Later in the day

Addison: I don't act like a boy.

Me: How do boys act?

Addison: Like animals.

Patience

Addison is teaching me patience. There are so many little things in our daily routine that it would be easier and faster if I did them, but I know it is important to let Addison do these things. Such as brushing her teeth, getting dressed and putting her shoes on. I have to plan ahead to make sure there is time for Addison to do these tasks. So when we are getting ready to go somewhere, I have to start getting the kids ready 10 minutes earlier, so that Addison will have plenty of time to put her shoes on by herself. I am so used to doing everything that I have to remind myself throughout the day to let Addison do things. She is capable of doing so many things, if I will just let her.

Finally, a cool day to play outside.
