Braden likes to push the limits on a regular basis these days. It took him one time out experience, where he stubbornly sat on his chair for 30 minutes refusing to apologize (for intentionally breaking a glass) before he finally said, he was sorry. Once he said he was sorry, he was free to play and get back to life as normal: LIGHT BULB Moment. Now on a regular basis he will intentionally push his limits, do something less than ideal (or blantantly WRONG), then quickly and sweetly say, "I'm sorry, Mommy" and that boy does not have one regret for what he did! But I still think he is sweet and adorable. He gets me almost every time.
Not my finest moment yesterday but after multiple issues, Braden began putting his shoe in his mouth (YUCK!). He refused to stop. I was driving and couldn't take it away but I could reach his beloved "Puppy". (Here is where I blush with shame), I then told him if he didn't stop I would "throw puppy out the car window". Then I proceeded to hold puppy out of the car and out of Braden's sight, then heard him start immediately sob in an all out panic. He took the shoe and threw it into the front seat of the car in a plea to get back his dog. I began to feel awful, and gave him back his puppy. He was still sobbing but the panic subsided. Through his heavy tears he told me "That's not funny, Mommy. That's not funny at all, Mommy".

Mr. Imagination
Everyday is a costume party at our house. These elaborate get ups range from super heroes to dinosaur doctors. Today's imagination filled adventure proves I'm not the only one excited for the Texans game this season.
Zachary started off yelling something from upstairs. I couldn't make out what he was saying til he came in my room and said, "Get your Fresh Hot Dogs here. Fresh Hot Dogs for sale at the football game".

"You have to write this down"
Because I hear the words "You have to write all of this down" at least 3 times a week (and I usually don't) and because I have a little bit of guilt about not keep up the ole blog (especially for poor little B who is not showcased nearly enough on this thing) and because I like having a venue to share our daily occurances I am setting a goal to bring back the blog.
Some entries will be witty and well thought out. Others will be simple with a photo or a quote.
I am also helping a little Pinterest research will help me redecorate not only my house but the look of this thing.
So without further review here we go......
Yesterday, Zachary was telling me how many cards we need to make.
Zachary: "we don't need 18 Valentine's Day Cards for his class, we only need 17 because N (one of the boys in his class) isn't in my class anymore"
Mom "where did he go?"
Zachary "I think he went to another country"
Zachary: "Or maybe he is in a new class"
Zachary: "Or maybe he was eaten by a bear."
Mom: (trying hard not to laugh) "Zachary!"
Zachary: "He probably wasn't eaten by a bear, he is probably just in another class"
Braden: "Zach-y be funny"
Both boys crack me up everyday.

Happy New Year!
2011 is here. While I thoroughly enjoyed 2010, I love the notion of a new year, a new start, looking at potential, setting goals, and evaluating past failures and celebrating the success. It is all very refreshing for me. And while sometimes I think my goals are unrealistic (i.e. how a new shelf or decision will change my whole life, like this is the one thing I have been missing), I do like to think any goal can be a catalyst for change, large or small. Now I must figure out the path, plan the steps, prepare for obstacles and set forth. Each year I strive to be a better person than I was the year before. And although I may stumble at times (and yell at my husband for not putting his things away), I will get up and keep moving forward.
So 2011, you are going to be even better than 2010. We are going to laugh more, love more, enjoy what we have more, be thankful for the people in our lives, smile often, sing loudly (when no one is listening), and help others. Every year forward is made to be as good or better than the last. This is my goal (along with a few of the other less than altruistic ones). Happy New Year!
