Tuesday Toddler Tales

We saw Santa...again. Santa will definitely know what Jack wants for Christmas!

I have three stories so bear with me. I couldn't choose a story for this week. I swear I should start writing a book. This kid can make me millions!!!

Story 1: A few days ago Jackson watched a Christmas episode of "My Friends Tigger and Pooh." On the show, Winnie the Pooh licked the North Pole only to find that it was one big candy cane. Well, on Sunday night, Scott, Jackson, and I went on a train ride called The Polar Express. Outside the event there were poles decorated in white and red like candy canes. Every time Jackson came up to one of the poles he would lick it. Scott and I were laughing and freaking out all at once! Gross but funny! Good thing we weren't getting our freeze Sunday or the kid would still be stuck there!

Story 2: This is an update on our sleep deprivation. Jackson slept through the night last night, stayed in his bed the ENTIRE time, and did not wake up until 9am! Wahoo! And, the only reason I knew he was awake was because I was in the guest room right below his room and I could hear his little feet pitter-pattering around. I expected to find him in some sort of mess but when I can in he had a HUGE pile of books next to him and he was reading. Oh my gosh! I seriously thought I was having the best dream of my life! Thank goodness for Christmas miracles!

Story 3: We were driving home today from our fun playdate and Jackson asked me for a cupcake. So, I handed him the chocolaty delight and he went to town (thanks Missy). I looked in the mirror and his face was covered in chocolate. He informed me that he was done and he ate the trash to. "What? The trash? What are you talking about?" Apparently he had eaten the paper wrapping on the outside of the cupcake. He informed me that it was in his belly. The kid did tell me he was hungry.

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
