Yummy plants and silly brains

Ok here's to my family... who I know are anxiously waiting for updates on the kids. I feel bad when they check my blog and find nothing new. I really could post everyday with all the crazy things that happen but due to time I don't always get to it. I'll start with Alayna....As you all know she started crawling awhile back and I really didn't have to be on my toes as much as I thought because she would only stay in one room. She would cry for me to come and get her and I guess she didn't realize she could come find me... well guess what ....now she's learned to come find me. About a week ago she slowly started venturing out of the living room into the other rooms. I was getting ready to leave the house one day last week and Bradley was ahead of me and I knew Alayna was somewhere in the vacinity and Bradley goes "uh mommy, you may want to come here" just the way he said it I knew it wasn't going to be good. Well there was that sweet little thing covered from head to toe in dirt...in the mouth and all. She had so quickly gotten into the palm by the front door. Ugh....it had to happen right as I'm leaving right?!?! Couldn't resist to laugh because what are ya gonna do anyway?

Ok, so now her new thing is when I'm feeding her jar food (which I rarely do now since she's into so many new yummy things) is blowing and spitting her food back at me. Once again, this was something baby Bradley used to do which was something else that was almost my birth control making him my only child. Well she just thinks is so funny and she doesn't take into account that I've got a white shirt on or the fact that I myself don't have a bib on ect... So I've gotten smarter now and I quick give her a bite and cover her mouth and the food then goes in my hand and not all over me. YIKES!! I think she just loves the spitting sound she makes with her tongue.

On to my little rebel....Not too long ago Craig had to give Bradley a spanking. Well....after Craig did it Bradley crosses his arms as he's trying not to cry and so fiercly growls "THAT DIDN'T HURT AND I'M NOT GONNA CRY BECAUSE I'M 4 NOW!!" We were like "WHOA, what a big tough guy you are. Of course we got a chuckle out of that just because of the nature of how he said it.

His passion in life is being silly well this past week he went to a different VBS M-W and the first day I asked how he did and the teacher told me he was sent out in the hall for fooling around with his buddy and not listening when she told him to stop. How embarassing right!?!? The next day I guess he did better but was still silly. The last day was the little program at the end and I was sitting back a few rows watching him being the only kid under the pew and wiggling and bouncing all over the place thinking "my word, I think he's ready for Riddlin"...asking myself if he had ADD. When their class went up to sing, at first he wouldn't sing and was trying to get a rise out of the teacher. I think he ended up singing the last few lines of the last song. I guess he just gets extremely bored really quick. I guess I'd be more worried if I never seen him being able to focus on any task, which he can if it's something he's interested in. So for now we'll just deal as we go. We had a talk with him about it each day and did the discipline thing and when I would ask him "why Bradley didn't you listen?" He would say "mommy I'm so sorry, but I want to listen and try to listen but it's just so hard to listen all the time" he went on to say the last day "my brains just keep telling me to be silly" now where'd the kid come up with that? Oh and get this.... he's had problems with ear wax build up lately and he told me "mommy there's just so much wax in my ears, it's blocking my hearing. Gotta give him credit for coming up with such quick witted excuses.

I was trying to get him to have some quiet time in his room today and as I was leaving he goes "mommy, I love you, but when is daddy coming home?" I think he thought if daddy was home he wouldn't have to have rest time!!

Oh, how I love both of my babies to the moon and back and how they keep me laughing and constantly challenging me to be much wiser than them.
