different stages . . . .

Kasey is going through a stage right now. I think I hear the word "mommy" in a dramatically whiny voice 1,000 a day. So I say "Kasey, what do you want?" and she responds, remind you in a whiny voice " I just talkin' to you." So that is our conversation through out the day. Also, mind you she is blaming her care bears for things she is doing. She was screaming in her crib tonight after bed time so I went in there to tell her to stop screaming, she said "mom, I am not screaming it was my care bears!"

Wylie I realized is the most kind hearted little child. We went to visit my Mom today in the rehab place and he was really upset before we got there in the car not wanting to see grandma in the hospital. But we went and it was good for him to see her. We all ( not Jacques) went and stayed a few hours. My mom LOVED it, so it was totally worth it. When we were leaving Wylie gave Grandma a hug and kiss and said, "I really hope you get better soon, I love you." No one told him to say it and we all about wanted to cry at how much he really cares, he understands more than I think we know.

So interesting to go through life our kids, they are wonderful even though we have many trying days. They have great intentions and huge hearts.

When Wylie gets bigger

"you know Mom when I get bigger I am going to be a Dad." I said " how many kids are you going to have?" He says, "um, 10!" Mom said "Wylie do you remember how much work babies are?" and Wylie replied, " oh yeah, then probably two kids."

rough morning, better night

Not such a great morning. Wylie had a rough morning. Spend numerous moments in his room for "not being a nice boy." I told him he needed to stay in his room until "mom comes to get you." So he stayed in his room, stood by the door and wet his underwear and pants. So when I came to get him he was crying in his room saying "oh no, this isn't good. oh no, this isn't good . . . " I said why didn't you go to the bathroom or tell me and he said " I didn't want to get in more trouble, You said not to leave until you came back." That all happened around 9am. The next three hours didn't get much better . . . Kasey had a lot of tears for no apparent reason. Tori did have a good morning, she mostly has good days :) Needless to say we had an early lunch, early nap time . . . woke up in better moods and had a nice evening. Thank goodness. Hopefully, we wake up good tomorrow:)

Stuck

So we all woke up ready to start the day by 7am. Yep, all of us. Started off like any other normal day. We had breakfast, Tori took her morning nap, Wylie and kasey and I played, Tori woke up and we ( Wylie) decided we should go for a ride. So off we went, stopped by Starbucks for Mom and drove to find the train that drives by. We get home after about 20 minutes and Kasey needs her diaper changed, Tori is now crying and Wylie starts crying. Why is Wylie crying? Because he is stuck in the seat belt. Yep, he pushed the button and he must have put his arm underneath at some point so when he released the seat belt is sinched his stomach. So all three kids crying as I try to get him out, after about 20 minutes I was unsuccessful. So I called Jacques and we head 20 minutes to Roberts to have him help. After Jacques trying for 20 minutes we finally had to cut him out. Finally we get home, but I have a bad head ache!

The rest of the day went fine. Kasey is in a funny stage of being really sad, crying a lot and wanting only MOM. So kasey and I went to the movie store and got a movie and she got to pick out a snack. She told me in the car "this was fun, mommy. i love you." so maybe she is just really sad and needs some alone attention with Mom. They watched The Reef and went to bed pretty happy. Tori learned to roll from her back to tummy . . . maybe this will help her sleep all night so when she flips from her tummy to back she won't scream, she will just learn to roll back over . . . wishful thinking???? probably :)

a few recent things I DO remember

My main reason for doing this is so one day, you, Wylie, Kasey and Tori can read it and laugh. Hopefully from now on my entries will be more organized but right now there are a few few things I want to write so I don't forget. First one being, just about a week ago I (mom) came home from the store complaining how my chest size has shrunk drastically, and I must have said the word "boob" to Jacques when Wylie says, " mom, are your boobs pumping milk again?" Both Jacques and myself laughed so hard. Had to tell him about pumping when I was pumping for three months while Tori was in the hospital so maybe too much info on our part.

Kasey just yesterday had her first day away from Wylie in a long, long time. I was thinking that oh she will love it,just the girls, Mom, herself and Tori. Whoa, was I wrong. Wylie slept over at Grandma and Grandpa's. Kasey is not ready to be away from Mom but she doesn't want Wylie to be away either. She woke up yesterday morning just a disaster. Everything went wrong, spent most the day in tears. Wylie came home told us about his day/night with grandma and grandpa. He got to go to a restaraunt and have pancakes and sausage and "even tried bacon." "Mom you need to get some bacon at the grocery store." "you know what Mom, Grandpa snores." & " you know Mom it is not very nice you know . . . " I am thinking what isn't? He says, " that you (me/mom) have all of us, Wylie, Kasey and Tori all the time and Grandma and Grandpa have nobody." Wylie is such a sweet, softhearted boy for just 4 years old.

So not a lot but from here on out, I will journal our days together. For me, a way to vent, for them a way to look back one day and laugh! I will look back one day and probably cry, for completely different reasons then why I may cry today.

Oh how I have missed so much

So over the past 4 years I have missed writing down and capturing so many priceless details about Wylie's childhood thus far. Kasey I have missed 2 1/2 years and Tori well I have only missed 7 months. I am going to start making it a point to journal our days together, the good, the bad and the ugly.
