Gotta Luv 'em

After Jordan finishes eating his breakfast ... he tells us he is done and we get him down from the table, Mike is finishing getting his breakfast ready. Next thing we hear is Jordan, who has climbed back up into his chair (he is no longer in the highchair ... he has upgraded to the booster), telling Daddy, "Daddy sit" while pointing to where Mike usually sits. Mike sits in his seat with his oatmeal and the next thing out of Jordan's mouth is "Daddy, bite, bite, bite."

Constance and I were playing the Wii. We played a couple of games of tennis ... and one game of bowling. I got a spare upon which Constance informed me "That wasn't really that hard Mommy. Lot's of people can do that. Just thought you should know."

Jordan asks for some shredded wheat in a bowl without milk (like sissy). Mike puts it in the bowl and Jordan disappears into the living room. 5 seconds later he comes back in with an empty bowl and proceeds to tell us he is done. Yeah, right! Come to find out he dumped his shredded wheat into his bucket.

I was giving the boys some muffins for breakfast. I made the mistake of cutting the one for Dominic into quarters. I soon discovered that wasn't going to be enough as 1/4 went in his mouth followed shortly thereafter by another quarter. After I got those out of his little mouth, I cut the remaining muffins into 16ths. Something I will remember in the future.

Jordan is in "help you" mode. He likes to "help you" open the van door. He and sissy fight over who gets to open the door to the house. Today he wanted to help me carry the diaper bag from exercise. It was really fun when he wanted to help me open the cans of tomato sauce. For some reason he didn't think I should hold the can or the opener and would try to pull the can out of my hands while I tried to open it. Thankfully it didn't get dumped all over the floor.

I have been trying to help Jordan understand the concept of sharing a little more. Somedays are better than others. Today he was playing with one of Mike's firetrucks and I pointed out that it was daddy's and he was sharing with Jordan. To which, Jordan repeated that daddy was sharing. (Ok, sounds good.) I was putting something in the freezer and Jordan was right there. He saw the ice cream and quickly pointed it out and quickly said "Daddy share?" Checkmate.

Jordan tends to leave his sippy cup anywhere. He really doesn't think too much about it. It is not uncommon for Dominic to find it and try to empty its contents before Jordan finds him with it. Normally there isn't too much of a problem when we get the cup away from Dominic until the other day. Dominic had finished his bottle. He had eaten. But evidently he wasn't done. He found Jordan's sippy cup and proceeded to drink from it. Jordan saw his cup and quickly took it back. Dominic got MAD. He burst into tears and kept trying to get the cup back from Jordan. Of course, this all happens while they were on my lap. After Jordan grabbed his cup, I picked Dominic up to try and get him to calm down. Normally that might have worked ... but Jordan came and sat on my other leg and so the cup was right there ...

This sums the past 2 days for me! At least these are the things I remembered to record.
