At the closing ceremony for school today the kids were each asked what they want to be when they grow up, Caleb of course said he wants to be a fireman, he has kept with this same dream for at least a year now. but of course when he was younger he said he wants to be a fire truck, this time is he wants to be a fireman driving a firetruck! Two of the girls in his class said they want to be a mommy when they grew up, I cheered loudly for them, I was glad that they thought it a worthwhile dream. This evening I talked to caleb about why the girls wanted to be mommies and told him that women can be anything they want just like men can, that there are women doctors and that women can do most jobs men can. but that theres one job only women can do, and that’s be a mommy. I am glad I am a mommy, and here’s a few reasons why. Most importantly is that I’m loving being a mommy to 3 boys!!
Today I got this on sale for the boys, it’s the step 2 water table. I’ve been wanting a water/sand table but they are pricey. So the other day I go t a $10 off coupon for toysrus if you spend $60. My mom wanted to go shopping for my nephew’s birthday party so I took the coupon, hoping together we could spend that much between presents. So the water table was o
n sale for $20 and after getting to $60 they took off the $10 coupon so basically I got the water table for $10!! It was a good deal!! We could hear thunder and see some dark clouds when we got home so I set up the water table in the kitchen w/ towels underneath but Bo still managed to have water everywhere and slipped on the floor so we took it outside since it didnt end up raining til just a little bit ago. they had a ball playing with it!
Bo is finally getting over his tactile dysfunction, at least sometimes. Today he even ran and played barefoot in the yard, I was in shock since last week he threw such a huge fit about it! I’m hoping he keeps outgrowing these fears he has about things. Everytime he overcomes something like not wanting to touch playdoh or run barefoot in the grass I get so excited for him that he’s able to enjoy new things.
I could stare at this boy all day and all night if I werent so busy with his brothers!! It’s nice to have time in the evenings to enjoy him all by himself without the chaos of the big brothers. but he’s been sleeping a lot lately, since yesterday actually so I’m not sure what’s up with that. He’s also eating more so I’m thinking he’s in a growth spurt. All I know is I’m hating how fast I’m losing my baby!
and for comparion…this is Bo at about the same age that Zeke is now, they look so similar, if I didnt know better I’d say it was the same kid!!
It’s wonderful to read about someone who is so excited about being a parent. Your boys are very lucky!
