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. ...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...
