Put it to song!

Jaden is going through this stage that he has to sing about everything!! Last night we couldn't find his beloved duck that he sleeps with, so we offered him many other choices. After settling on his blue bear and George the monkey, we headed to bed. After a minute or two we heard him singing and curiously snuck to his door. He was singing, "I miss my ducky, he is not here, I left him at grandmas house, oh no, oh no, I miss my ducky!" It was hilarious! We had to hurry back to our room so we could laugh. Then today as Judd left to go back to work, Jaden began singing again. "I have to stay here with my mommy because daddy goes to work. I miss my daddy, I miss my daddy." What a funny phase for me to observe. I love to hear the songs he comes up with. Jace is sucking his thumb, he will spit his binky out to suck his thumb. I am not sure I like this!! I was a thumb sucker and it is a hard habit to break!

Refreshing

At dinner tonight, Jaden turned to his dad and said, "Dad, I am a boy and mommy is a girl." After some praising from Judd and I on this new knowledge, I asked Jaden what daddy was. He got a very puzzled look on his face and stammered a few 'Daddy is a . . . Daddy is a . . , I don't know what is he?' On days like today after nights like last night my first thought is, Good question. But instead of verbalizing this, I simply stated, "Daddy is a boy just like you." Thanks Jaden!

Start up

Well, here we go! Everyone keeps telling me to start a blog, so I suppose I can work on it a bit while the kids nap. So no promises on how much will get put on here. Judd is working at Peck Ormsby and loves his job. He enjoys the people he works with and enjoys crunching numbers. Jaden turns 3 in 9 days!! I can't believe how fast the time flies. He loves to spell, count, and play with friends. He is starting to potty train, some days are better than others. But at least he is showing some interest! Jace is 4 and 1/2 months old. He has started rolling over and laughing out loud. Jaden loves being a big brother and is always smothering Jace with his affection. Jace loves his big brother and loves to observe him. I am enjoying being at home. What a blessing to be able to be around while my kids grow up. This is my first year staying at home and I am excited to see how it all plays out.
