I heard running water and the light was on in the bathroom. When I went to investigate I found Jordan "helping" Dominic brush his hair. This was the second time they were playing in the water. The first time I went in there Jordan was helping Dominic wash his hair.
I told the boys we were going to Dr. Thompson. They told me they didn't want to go, they wanted to stay home. I broke the news to them that they weren't old enough to stay home alone (and I wasn't that insane). Dominic looked at me and said "I'm big enough, see." Another time I told them I needed to go to Dr. Thompson because they broke me. Jordan told me I wasn't broken because my head and my arm are both still attached.
Jordan told me "I can hear you because I have special ears." This is good to know, my question is what about the times you don't respond or don't do what I have asked you to do does that mean you are officially ignoring me, your special ears are broken or are they special because they have the feature of selective hearing. Later when I was talking to Jordan he told me "I don't listen". I asked him why. His answer "Because, I'm Jordan".
Blackie doesn't have a prayer. After taking the boys to Uncle Lee's farm to chase goats and hold them, Dominic has decided that Blackie needs to be held all the time, the same way he held the goats. It doesn't matter if Blackie likes it or not -- she gets carried around irregardless. He listens to her almost as well as he listens to me.
Jordan decided to cover Blackie's eyes with her ears and started singing "go to sleep, little Blackie". It didn't work.
Lately Jordan likes to tell me he isn't ticklish. The funny thing is he will bust up laughing before my hand even gets close to tickle him. All I have to do is move my hand like I am going to tickle him and he laughs.
Evidently Dominic didn't like how I answered him -- he just told me "I'm telling on you and you aren't my friend." The other day when he said the same thing to Mike, Mike asked him who he was going to tell. His answer: "mommy". All I can say is "Good luck".
I don't know how you eat your marshmallows -- Dominic puts a hole thru the middle with his finger so they look like a donut and then eats them. I thought it was very original.
Jordan got too much water in his mouth and then ended up laughing and the water went all over. I asked him to get a towel and clean it up. He grabbed the towel, set it on the floor and then went to play. I asked him if he had cleaned the mess up. He told me no, the towel would do it. I had to break his little heart and tell him that he needed to clean the mess up, the towel wasn't going to.
I found out one morning that my arm was not my own. Dominic decided it was a road for his cars. Whenever I tried to move my arm to type or eat or do anything I got in serious trouble.
As Constance was telling on Jordan, Jordan said "Sissy is getting in my business." I looked at Constance and said, "Hmmmm, I wonder where he learned that?"
Nothing like sitting in the kitchen and hearing Jordan yell "you come out of your room witch" to Sissy. I guess that is what happens when you watch "Wizard of Oz".
I asked Jordan if he would like a turn feeding Blackie. I was thinking he would just set the food dish -- nope. He decided he would feed her piece by piece.
Both boys decided they were dogs and started licking me on my arms, face and head. They thought it was pretty funny. Me not so much.
New excuse for not cleaning up toys: "My hands are dirty and the cars will get dirt on them." (courtesy of Dominic)
I was given the devastating news that my kisses don't work on boo boos anymore. Dominic came in crying and I asked him I could kiss it better. He told me my kisses don't work. He let me kiss it and then looked and me and said "It doesn't work, see." He asked for a band-aid which obviously took care of it.
While drying Jordan off after he took a bath, he said "uh-oh, got to burp." Then he passes gas and promptly said excuse me. I told him thank you for using good manners but that wasn't a burp.
Jordan sat on my lap and then farted. He then got up, busted up laughing and told me "I burped on you."
My 3 yr old alarm clock. One morning he woke me up by kissing me on my nose and then started singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Teach me to Walk". Only problem it wasn't even 6am yet and there was no snooze button.
Another morning, Dominic crawls into my bed, little mischievous grin on his face, saying "tickle, tickle, tickle Mommy". Mommy was much faster and Dominic got tickled.
Grandma Sandstrom asked the boys what they had for lunch, one afternoon when she was watching them. They held up their little candy bar she had given them and said "this is my lunch."
