I was going to write a nice post about my younger child, but it has been literally a NON-stop day! So I’ll just let the pictures do the talking for now. Can’t believe he’s FIVE!

On the way to Atlanta tonight, from the 4 year olds: Alex: Mom, squirrels climb trees. Alex: Do squirrels pee? Me: Yes, all animals pee. Alex: Do dogs pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pooh? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee and poop! The conversation continued on and on! It started off really funny, but it got old after awhile.

Alex said, “Mom, when you say pokus pokus a coin will pop out of your ear! Say it Momma! Say pokus hokus!”

We celebrated Alex’s birthday the weekend after his birthday with some of Rob’s family. We went to one of his and our favorite restaurants, Durango (Mexican). Here he is blowing out his candles. For his 4th birthday, he got lots of Auburn stuff as you can see when if you click on the pic above. He also finally got a bookshelf for his room.

My baby boy is 4 today! I know I always say this when the boys have birthdays but I can’t help it. Time goes by way too fast! I decided to do I like I did with his big brother and just pull some of my fav pics of him. Not posted in any order.

Where has the time gone? So ever since Drew had a birthday back in January, Alex started saying, “Drew is 10 and I’m almost 4.” As time escapes us, he now started deleting the “almost” part and announces to everyone that he is 4. Needless to say his birthday is a week from today. Where have the last few years gone? It seems like yesterday I was so ready to get that baby out. Thinking of ways to put myself in labor, so I could meet that little boy that was growing inside of me. And now I try to…

Exhausting day! I’ll let you in on the details tomorrow. Here’s a couple collages of pics from Alex’s photo shoot Saturday. These will be his THREE year pics.

This is the day he went home. Believe it or not, this outfit was for newborns, but it swallowed him up! Where has the time gone? I can’t believe three years have passed already. In so many ways though, his birth and the whole labor and delivery process seems like a dream, like it never happened. I think back to that day and it’s hard to fathom that I went through that agonizing pain. It’s crazy how time tends to dampen the feelings you go through the day a child is born. When you’re in the moment, everything is vivid…

I’m so unmotivated to get Alex to potty train. I’ve got to find some motivation some where, because he’s going to be 3 in a couple weeks. Drew was potty trained at school in a matter of days! As for Alex, he doesn’t have the structure from his teacher that Drew had, so I guess I’m forced to take on the task all by myself. I just hope that when I find the motivation that they back me up at day care. So bring it on people. What can I do to kick start this thing called potty training?

Drew and I were headed to Hobby Lobby this evening to get stuff for his Pinewood Derby car. All of a sudden it wreaked of 9 year old gas! Him: *sniff-sniff-sniff*, What’s that smell? Me: *Chuckle, while rolling down the windows* You-woo farted. I’ll do what my dad used to do and we can play freeze out. Roll down on the windows when it’s freezing out. Gah! That stinks. Him: *in a squatting position* I can’t help it. I got the farts. Me: Squeeze your butt cheeks together when you fart. Helps it not smell so bad. That’s what I…

As you can see Alex got his foot stuck Christmas Eve, while trying a new kind of cookie we had made for Santa. At first we tried to just squeeze it out. Then, we tried to take the back of the chair off. We were thinking we were going to have to break or saw part of the chair to get it out. But then I had him turn and get back on his knees and were able to squeeze it out. Just a little adventure before putting out the cookies for Santa and getting tucked in for the long…

How are y’all? Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We’re still in Florida. I left my camera USB cable at home so I’m not able to upload and edit and post pics like I’d like to. ACK! I’ll have TONS to do when we get home Monday night, and Tuesday, and Wednesday….hahaha! Alex has been sick. He’s been off and on with his mood. We’ve had another dreadful task. I usually do medicine the lazy way and put it in his cups with no problems. But since we’ve been out of town, Rob decided Alex needed to be administered the…

That would be my Alex, my 2 year old. I have a list of things he’s done lately that have been completely destructive, but today tops it. I had gone in the other room to open the windows because it’s cool outside and warm inside. Then, Rob got home and I started talking to him. Alex brings me this black plastic thing and I’m like what is that? It turned out be one of the many keys off my keyboard that he ripped off. We were able to find all the keys and the little white plastic pieces that help…

I took the boys trick ‘r treating. They had fun. Drew got tired before Alex did. I was shocked. Drew was hot from his mask that kept shifting where he couldn’t see. Alex was having so much fun saying hi to everyone and looking in their house and seeing their dogs or whatever. They got a TON of candy this year along with some Dorito’s and chocolate covered apples.

This week’s Photo Scavenger Hunt theme is comfy. So comfy on mommy’s bed.

I thought I posted this last week, but I guess I got side tracked. Here are the boys painting, but I think Alex thought it was body paint instead of finger paint!

Our 2nd of Summer Days…Today we started the morning by going to Town Creek Park and walked. We took some pictures along the way. Here’s the boys while resting on a bench. After that we went home and made homemade Strawberry-Lemonade Icies. Here’s a picture of Alex showing off the fact he gets to drink out of a big boy cup! The walk really stirred up our appetite so we went to Red Lobster with Rob for lunch. After lunch we came home only to struggle with Alex, who didn’t want to take a nap! I finally got him down…

See Momma say bye-bye to quiet nap times, See Momma say bye-bye to full night sleep, See Momma lose her sanity! Yes, yes, yes, Alex crawled out of the crib a few weeks ago during nap time. My first thought was “Oh! No! This isn’t supposed to happen to me!” Drew never climbed out of the crib. Yes, we were SO lucky! I didn’t realize that at the time. Anyway so Alex climbed out of his bed a couple times after he had taken a good long nap last weekend. Still I was thinking, “Ok, he’s ok because he’s not…

There was a really good song that came on the radio so I turned it up a little. 2 yo: thwots wong, mommy? (what’s wrong, mommy?) me: what? 2 yo: TB up? (TV up?) me: Nooo, that’s the ray-dee-o 2 yo: Way-D-O, Mommy? me: yeah, radio 2 yo: I’m sansin’, Mommy (I’m dancin’, Mommy) I look in the rear view mirror and he was dancing and laughing. Times like this make it all worth while!
