One Year

Happy birthday Burke Boy!!

A Big Boy Now

This morning Charlie wanted to come upstairs with me which would require him getting over the baby gate at the bottom. He told me he would just do it like the brothers and climb over the top. Can you imagine? I lifted him over instead. Of course, he protested saying that Isaac and Theron climb over themselves. I said, "Well, Isaac and Theron are taller than you."

He replied back matter-of-factly, "I wear underwear." Oh! Well that changes everything. Here, why don't you just take the keys to the car, too, now that you are wearing big boy underwear. I can just see some teenage alcohol drinker explaining to the officer who asks for their license, "Oh, well officer I don't have an ID but I am wearing big boy underwear now."

Learning to Walk

I had my first physical therapy session today. That's right folks I'm learning to walk. Here I am a couple of weeks ago strutting my stuff with my crutches while waiting at the bus stop with Charlie boy and my sister Jen.

On a much more exciting note (to me anyway)...Burke has decided he would like to join the world of the walking as well. Today we are both taking baby steps.

Post Game Day

Life couldn't be better!!

Worth the Peace and Quiet

It probably says right on the box "Not suitable for children under 4 years of age" but I don't care. I really think that the seven minute silence was worth this mess and definitely worth the smile showing complete satisfaction.

Confession II

Theron's new best friend in his class at school is Sam. Theron just said, "Mom, sometimes Sam does bad things in the prayer and I can't help it...I just laugh."

Confession

This morning while the boys were getting ready for school Theron told me something that must have really been weighing on his conscience. He said, "Mom, my teacher says to always eat our sweet stuff last at lunch. One time I remembered but I wanted to eat my treat so bad...that...I had to eat it right in the middle."
