The Three Wise Men

Christmas Play Season...

No. Their play had nothing to do with the three wise men, but I saw this in the photo, so there we have it.

Owner of my Son's Day Care

Pony Ride 2012!

Yes my little cowboy got to go again this year. He's so proud and happy!

The horse was hyper and he loved it! Look at the look on his face!

My son is so content on that horse... what I wouldn't give to put him on one all the time..

Those Little Moments

You know the ones I mean,

Like when your squeezing the ketchup bottle and it farts and he laugh and says "the ketchup bottle farted.." still laughing.

Or when you go to pick him up from day care and he says "Can I stay here and play?" leading with those little blues eyes.

Or when he brings home a paper that said what he' thankful for  and the list is as follows:
Turkey
Brownie (our dog)
Dad
School
and you notice that you're (mom) not on there and it just breaks your heart.

"mom... can I sleep with you?" usually defined as, jumping on the bed, tossing turning, rolling on top of you, demanding a kiss to avoid sleeping, pulling open the curtain to peek out the window and let the car lights in.... "mom I need  a drink." is always included in that particular activity.

One of my favorites is while he's laying in your bed and you decide to make his stuffed animal a lively bedtime playmate for him. Giving hugs and kisses and shaking while it laughs.. (Yes I've paid for this often but it's just TOO CUTE!).

 Knowing that your kids wasn't afraid to get this picture taken with Santa and so many others you know were.

Preschool Day Care

My son started Preschool/daycare this past monday.
Like a good little paranoid mother I called 2 times the first day.
The second day I called the same time as  the first day...
We're talking and I ask him "How is school?"
"Good." He said chipper.
"Are you having fun?'
"Yeah!' he said eagerly.
"Did you eat breakfast today?" I ask.
"Yes I had pears. I'm done talking to you now."He stated and he gave the phone back to the woman at the daycare and went back to playing before I could say anything.
That little turd! He's been perfectly content at daycare. No missing mom.. or dad.. anxiety. Nothing. I love the fact that my son is well adjusted and independent enough to survive daycare, but damn! he wasn't interested in a phone call with me he likes it soo much. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive it.  Im' raising a bright little boy, but I want to be missed. Almost brought me to tears....

Did I scare you?

My son "BOO! Mom did I scare you?"
Me "No."
My son "BOO! Mom did I scare you?"
Me "No'
*thump thump thump* Runs around the corner and comes *thump thump thumping* back "BOO!" Giggling "mom did I..."
"BOOOOOO!" I trumped at him before he could finish...
"AAAAHH!" so startled he fell back on his butt.
Me "Did I scare you?"
My son "YES!"  giggling after the fall...a short pause and he said "BOO! Mom did I scare you?"
..... and thus was the beginning of the longest  1/2 hour of my life... LOL!

No more Monkeys Jumping on the BED!

So my son has only a top bunk of a futon bunk bed set. The futon was removed because it was breaking.
He won't sleep on the top bunk. Yesterday I went to the D.I. and picked up a used wooden frame bed for 20$. It needed a few minor things that were easily done. Hence getting my son a bed a little closer to the floor.
Right?

So he's already been jumping on the bed even though we warned him not to. He beat his little head on that window sill you see behind him. We haven't had a chance to move the furniture around. So once again I got mad at him (after making sure his brains were still intact) and warned him  he would bounce out that window and die if he kept it up..

Child's Play

My son is recovering from his hand injury. We took a walk through Memory Grove Utah.

My son & I went out to breakfast with his aunt. While we were paying my son asked to go over to the waiting bench. I said "yes". They he started running up & down the bench and then put his hands all over the windows. "Stop that! You're getting the windows dirty." The guy at the counter said "It's OK. I have to wash them anyway." I said "Thanks, but I don't him to do it anywhere else either."
This older lady turns, looks at me in astonishment and say "That's not something you hear these days. Good for you!" I smiled and asked "You mean someone telling their kid to behave?" She pretty much said "yes" and that most people let them run wild and misbehave. I said My Grandmother would have smacked me upside the head for doing the things kids do these days. She said hers too.

But in the end of all this is that it's good to know someone thinks I'm doing something right with my kid. Especially a complete stranger.
