Chatter Box

Cameron,
You are such a chatterbox these days...I love it!!!
You out-talk everyone at day care...they are so impressived with you!!

Last week at day care, you rattled off the months of the year because the 2 year olds were learning them. Everyone at school told us about it mutliple times, they took so much pride in your accomplishment.

Today you went on the potty for the first time by your own accord. I have previously put you on the potty or "held" you there and we have had success...but today, I took your diaper off in the morning and then about 30 minutes later asked if you needed to go potty...you said yes...went on the potty and then peed. I was PUMPED!!!

I went to day care today to spend some time with you. It was so nice, you kept saying "my mommy" while you were tapping your hand to your chest. We were counting, past 10 but not quite to 20. You were quite a show off :-)

You and Mackenzie play together so well sometimes (and other times not well at all). You love to wrestle with her...we have finally taught her to grab your belly vs. you neck. You try to be very independent and don't have too much fear yet...but you do not seem to link animals.

Mackenzie girl.
You are now three and with that has come some major changes in our house. Overnight you have become a princess that wants to wear dresses non-stop. One day being forced to wear pants you pleeded/cried "this is not what a princess would wear"

Pony rides??? We don't need no stinkin' pony rides...

We took the kids to a party for Kree yesterday. It was pretty fun. I am about to go overboard with some photos, but it is as efficient of a way I can think of to get web some of the photos. Since she was away for work...



There was pizza and snow cones.



There were automated cars that sisters got to cruise around in.













Jake played the "in and out of the car" game for about 25 minutes:











There was a pony for the b-day girl and all her friends...



That our kids wanted nothing to do with:



Jake got the closest of the 3 of them; and when i tried to put him on the saddle, he crossed his legs and lifted them higher than his head... I got him out of there before his screeching scared the pony...



Most of the other kids all had a turn:






Cam got very worried when the pony headed back towards her:



See Mac's finger in her mouth? She was VERY distressed that the pony had to wear a hat:



She kept asking: "He has to have a HAT on?"



I tried to get some glamor shots of Mac-Attack and the convertible:









And then she took her cousin for a ride:









They got muddy and it was a super fun party!!!

That's all I'm saying.

Private time

Today I followed Mac into the bathroom because I had to wash my hands at the same time that she decided she needed to use the toilet. When I turned the water on I heard:

Mac: you washing your hands?
tt: yes, I just changed jake's diaper, so I want to wash my hands.
Mac: (closing the door) I need privacy
tt: (drying my hands) I can go and give you privacy
Mac: No, you can stay with me.
tt: Okay.
Mac: (after a few minutes) Barack Obama is the president now.
tt: yeah, he just took the oath of office a few weeks ago.
Mac: But he doesn't bring presents like Santa.
tt: (not understanding until I repeated it out loud). That's right, Barack Obama is president, but Santa brings presents.
Mac: yeah, he is president, not santa.

Bionic ears

Today was a pretty stressful day.
There was snow all the way to work and so the kids went to "Nana day care".
Work was very stressful and draining.
The ride home was pouring slushy, sleety rain.
I got to Nana and Papa's house late and the kids had already eaten and taken baths. When I walked in the door, my sister called out, "Hi, Web." I heard everyone, but saw no one. Everyone was in the master bedroom or master bath.

But from somewhere deep in the house, Cam started shouting, "TEE TEE" "TEE TEE"...

Cameron is always the one that sees us first. Jake will take his sweet time greeting us at day care, sometimes he is completely unphased at the sights or sounds of his moms, but Cameron hears us before she sees us and shouts the minute she does either. We get a loud, cheerful "KAY-TEE!!!" or "TEE TEE!!!" I thought that was the height of her "excited voice", but the other day I was at day care when my sister arrived, and the intensity of the greeting was at least tripled: "MOMMY!!!"

Jake and Mac are having some ear trouble that is affecting both of their hearing capabilities right now, but Cam's ears make up for the deficits. She's like eagle ears. It's very cute.
