Like Mama's

Last Tuesday (4/28) while Shane was gone to Utah for Grandpa Norberg's funeral I broke my 4th toe on my right foot. Of course, it had to happen while Shane was gone, I was grateful that my mom was off of work that day to watch the boys while I went to the doctor's. Declan had a bad night that Monday, so I went to get him at 7AM and hit my foot on the bedroom door and stubbed it as well just right so it broke. The top of my toe was bent to the right!

A few days ago Corin had a little blister on the underneath side of his toes and kept saying that it was broken like Mama's toe so he needed it taped up.

Of course it didn't stay on too long. I wish I could take mine off.

I called my dear friend Marianne from the hospital yesterday to ask if she could pick up and take Corin to school because Declan is sick and Mom didn't really want to get him out if she didn't have to. She said she would be happy to and that her daughter Carolyn would be glad because she could also get a ride to school instead of having to walk. She send me this text message today that I just had to post.

"Corin was so cute this morning. I asked him if he had a new brother. He giggled & said 'Yes, baby Teagan is so cute!" it was adorable. Right before I dropped him off he said 'Sis. Parker thank you for taking me to school." What a polite, delightful little boy! Carolyn & I could not stop grinning. I've never heard him giggle quite like that. He mya be a very good helper with the new baby"

My boys have been saying some really funny and sweet things lately that I keep forgetting to add to my blog. I don't remember the dates each happened, but at least I'll have them written down.

Declan: Oh my little Declan! He has had quite the personality lately and being a little stinker. When he tell or ask him to do something he doesn't want to do, he says VERY adamently "Sorry, no _____" with his little nose and forehead all wrinkled. Hopefully sometime I can get a short video of it.

One of his favorite sayings is "Dark and Boo-ky (Spooky)" when the lights are off.

Comes up with his hand out (or the "hand" of pretty much anything, whether it has hands or not) and wants you to shake it, says "A meet you"

Things are yucky when he doesn't want to do them or listen.

Corin: Lately he has been loving to touch my belly and talk to Teagan. He says good morning to him and good night!

He thinks when Teagan is ready to come out that I'm going to spit him up (still what he calls throwing up from when Declan was tiny and would always spit up) I think this is because we say that Teagan in is my belly, which I think he translates into tummy and when his tummy is sick he throws up. I just love how they try to figure things out with the knowledge they already have.

"I'm 5 years old, I pee standing up"

We told him when he was 5 years old he could start standing up to pee. Prior to this he didn't like it and he made such a mess and since he's young he didn't know better. But now that he's 5 years old its a big deal to him to stand up to pee and he's the right height for the toilet so he doesn't miss. However, now he always has to announce to us when he needs to pee and that he's going to stand. I think its because it's new and fun for him and he feels like a bigger boy.

It's funny to listen to the names Corin makes up for things. This morning he has deemed frosted mini wheats as crumbles and last night for dinner I made Ventura Chicken (recipe from a friend) and it has stuffing on top that get all crispy so he called those crunchies. He has called granola cereal crunchies before too.

We watched the Muppets Christmas Carol today and now Corin is going around saying short lines from it; "Good story Mr. Dickens," being Jacob Marley that is in the door knocker, "Never eat talking food"

Thurs. 7/23

While we were at Toys R Us getting Corin a bike and standing in line at the registar we were asking Corin about the numbers. He said sixteen which was the line we were in. Then we started pointing and asking about the other ones. He said, "five-teen, thirteen, two-teen." I just love how their little brains work to figure things out. He knew that when you put a one and another number together that it makes a teen (with exceptions as there always is in the English language) and I was glad to see that he is catching on and learning instead of what he used to say was "one and a five" When he counts he does pretty well at saying the correct number name in the proper order, but sometimes skips .

Tonight when Shane took Corin up for his nap I put Declan on his play mat for tummy time and he rolled over while I was at the bottom of the stairs talking to Shane. I did it again and he did it, but I got excited and said "Yay Declan you did it!" a bit too loud for his taste (he startles easily) so he started to cry and then I couldn't get any pictures of it. We'll try again tomorrow and this time I'll be prepared with the camera.

Tues. 6/30

Kids have such great, creative imaginations. The vacuum was out and Corin sat down beside it and put the cord on his body. "I'm a plug" He loves to pretend he is different animals, like a bunny. So he'll hop around the house saying "hop, hop" and he wants to be petted as well. Then he'll say "I'm a Corin bunny."

He is working more on his letters; recognition and sounds. He has been more interested in numbers than letters, so we are trying letters. We have a fridge toy that you put the individual letter in and it will sing a song about the letter sound. His favorite has been B. He'll say "B says butt"

Thurs. 6/4

Our family loves baseball, no matter how bad the Rockies are doing (that makes us true fans). Corin always asks for the baseball game to be on and gets upset if there isn't one to watch or it has to get turned off for bedtime. Even Declan focuses on it. Tonight we were watching when Garrett Atkins hit his 2nd home run in the game and it hit the screen at Minute Maid Park breaking two panels in his own picture at his neck. Corin comes up and says "The baseball hit me in the neck." Guess he was living vicariously.

Tues. 6/2

Yesterday Shane yells down to me from upstairs while he was giving Corin a shower "Your son just peed in his cup" Corin has these stacking cups he likes to play with in the bath. I asked Shane if he had accidently peed in it because it was on the floor of the tub and the reply was "No, he put it in front of his penis and peed." All I could do was shake my head thinking he can aim and pee in his cup but will be inconsistent about peeing in the potty. All I could reply, jokingly is "Boys are gross!" So today, as I was taking him into our upstairs bathroom to go potty, he sees the cup on the side of the tub (yes, it got washed) and tells me precisely "I peed in that cup." All I can do is shake my head.
