update!

da boyz!

isaiah sat on the toilet for the first time today. he woke up with a DRY diaper! first time ever! so when i announced it, my mom took him to the potty. every time before when i've tried to interest zay in the toilet he's screamed bloody murder. so i let grandma handle it. he sat there for a couple minutes! happy! he didn't pee, but he knows thats where he's supposed to go. maybe i'll start having him go to the bathroom when adrian does just so he can see. what a dream! to have both kids potty trained! *sigh*

isaiah talks SO much now. he repeats almost anything you tell him to. he says showa (shower), bath, aden (adrian), last night when we were brushing our teeth i handed him his toothbrush and he pointed to mine and said "mama's" and pointed to his and said "isaiah's"!! perfectly clear! i've never heard him say isaiah before! he knows kitty, doggy, butterfly, ladybug. he knows the names of the millions of cats in the house right now. he says srippers (slippers). he can say "s" just fine at the end of a word but if its at the beginning he says it nasally in the back of his throat. like he's trying to clear his throat almost. hilarious. he asks for the fruit snacks my mom has. he calls them snoot snacks. so now thats what everyone calls them. hahah.

adrian is doing well in school! his class is full of 4 year olds like him. he got in trouble on wednesday. miss jody had a talk with me about it. during nap time i guess most of the kids were being rowdy that day (i got the feeling she was talking to a lot of parents) and adrian was acting up and threw some shoes or something. when i talked with adrian about it afterward, privately, he said "i don't know" so i asked him "you don't know or you don't want to tell me?" and he said "i don't want to tell you." so then i started guessing at things like "did you hit someone? did you yell and scream?" and when he got frustrated at me that i didn't say the right thing he finally told me. it went something like this: "me and jacob were talking and playing and he threw a sock and then i threw a sock and he threw a sock and i threw a sock and he threw a sock and then he threw a sock and i threw a sock and he threw a sock and then we got in trouble and i had to sit with miss jody" so we talked about it and he told me he knows he needs to listen to adults. i told him i don't want to have to talk to miss jody again and he understood. i guess he's been doing well since then (though its only been two days). but i have faith!

adrian LOVES his top bunk on the bunk bed. i could barely get the sheets on his mattress before he was up there crawling around. he seems like such a big kid sleeping on a big kid bed.

he has his first guitar lesson tomorrow! i'm excited! he's probably too young unless tyler taught him (which he won't) but to see him begin to do something like this is pretty cool! we can play actual games together now, like sorry! he loves that game. and candyland! i can't wait to move so that we can get back to a normal life.

tonight

tonight adrian was really making me angry. he went to bed normal time - 8 - but simply would not go to sleep. i turned his light off once after putting him down, isaiah was yelling at him. then again i went in there because of the light, and he was standing in isaiah's crib with all of the stuff in his room. him and isaiah were crowded with all this shit in there. and isaiah was screaming obscenities. i just said "ADRIAN. get out of the bed." and i leaned down and threw every single thing that wasn't isaiah's across the room to land in a pile. i turned off the light. this last time, the fucking light was on AGAIN. and he was playing with LEGOS in BED. so i turned off the light. i scooped up the legos and put them on his desk. (i'm dead silent.) i pick all his books up off his bed and put them by the door. i take his fold up couch off his bed, stack it on the books. i grab his "jack" pillow and place it in the pile and adrian starts quietly crying. "not my jack pillow." so i look at him and ask "why are you still awake?" and he looks at me and says "because i want to cuddle you mama". so i pick up his jack pillow and arrange his bed and blankets and crawl next to my little boy.


a few minutes later i'm still lying there. i can tell adrian is almost out and i'm listening to the boys' breathing. my eyes closed, lying on my back snuggled next to adrian. isaiah's slow deep breathing, surprisingly loud. adrian's right in my ear but very quiet and quicker. sounded like the ocean. i reveled in my son's breaths until... "toot!" a quick one from isaiah. how quick to remind us that yes, they are sweet little angels but they are also little boys.

i lub dem.

halloween!

adrian is where's waldo. hehehe! he LOVES it. he slept with the shirt and the hat on the other night, i told him i had to have the glasses so they won't break, and he finally relented. he says "mom call me waldo" when he wears it.

isaiah will be chucky. duh. :D

update

isaiah tap dances now. god he's so freaking cute. he says dada, deedee(kitty), dahdee(doggy), uh oh, i did it, and thank you. he is 13 months old.

adrian is 3.5, talks like he's 15. he can read now. certain words like go, cat, dog, home and a few others. he likes to fall asleep with me. he doesn't eat much. he likes cheese!!!!

TRUCKS

ITS BIG TRUCK DAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!

Then I'm getting my pseudo kids for the afternoon! Four sweet little monsters tearing apart my house. YAY!

Adrian just told me "Yes! I'm excited for Big Truck Day! The man's are gonna meach me in the truck!" whatever that means. hahaha

good morning isaiah

i've been so tired in the mornings, so when isaiah wakes at 5:45 i just go get him and bring him to bed with me. snuggles. he's so sweet. he lies next to me snuggled under the blanket, touching my face and cooing and giggling when i make stupid faces. this morning i turned on flight of the conchords for him to watch so i could get dressed and he LOVED it. totally absorbed in "i see you girls checkin out my sugar lumps" haha. i got him naked and he DIDN'T PEE! his nighttime diapers have less and less piddle every time. my mind will explode if he decides to potty train himself. *fingers crossed*

california

Adrian leaves with Tyler for Cali tomorrow morning. I'm so excited for him, he gets to go to the airport and ride a plane and he's gonna LOVE it!!!!! I'm kinda sad that I'm not with him for his first plane ride but it had to be one of us. I don't actually know how long they'll be gone... heh...

I gave both boys a bath last night. I know this sounds like I never bathe them. Well. I don't. hahaha. Isaiah screams bloody murder when he hears the water turn on. I can't handle his screaming and I'm worried the neighbors think I'm beating him or something. Anyway so I got them both in the bath, and Isaiah is screeching and after I'm done washing him he calms down. He PLAYS with TOYS in the BATH. And Adrian is PLAYING WITH HIM!!!!! I took so many pictures of this momentous occasion I think I filled my memory card. Doofus mother I am.

After bath, Adrian wanted chocolate rocks and I told him he didn't finish his dinner (ravioli) so he doesn't get anything. He tells me he wants to eat his ravioli now, so I give it to him (there is only three little ones left, but there is SAUCE on them) he refuses to eat them because there is sauce. So I say oh well. And he starts throwing the table (its a little table) and hits Isaiah with it. So I don't even put him in time out, I put him to bed. He's screaming the whole time "I AM DONE CRYING NOW I AM DONE" but he's crying while screaming. So I go in with Isaiah and we say prayers and sing a song and I put Isaiah down. Adrian is still upset but calmed down. Eventually he falls asleep. At about midnight he comes in to my room, lies down on top of me and says "mama i'm gonna sleep with you now" and we sleep the rest of the night like that. my sweet sweet man. :)
