Just to Journal

This little dude is getting so fun! He is standing up to everything and learning to walk along the furniture. He is always slobbering and usually has a runny nose. I know it sounds gross but he is so adorable and happy that it doesn't even bother me. I love the big smile he always has. He sleeps through the night pretty good, I usually have to give him his binky once. He greets me most every morning with a big smile, standing up in his bed with a smelly diaper, but I love him anyway. He loves to play peak-a-boo and patty-cake. He watches his sister all day long. Anytime there is a ball close by he is bound to find it; he loves balls. He is a good eater, but still allergic to milk. I have started him on a lot more table food and he does pretty good. He is so busy; he just cruises around and explores all day. He is getting so hard to take to church. He just wants to get down and play and truly he is to heavy to carry around for three hours. I love this age and I love this little man!
Dean has been taking Josie to work with him a lot lately. She loves to go with him. When he gets ready to leave in the morning she says, "Wait me Daddy" and runs to get her coat. Today was really warm, he took her for over 7 hours. They fixed fence, moved cows, fed cows, met with the piviot guys, and went to lunch. When she got home I asked her what she did and she yelled, "Cows, Cows, Potty side Mommy". So basically she must must have been impressed with the cows and with herself for going potty outside. (I'm not exactly sure how that even works with a two year old but aparently she and her dad figured it out - he is a really good dad, however he still will not change dirty diapers).

I think its safe to say Josie is potty trained. She wakes up at night if she needs to go potty, and only has accidents on really rare occasions. She talks a lot. She is really busy figuring her world out and testing boundaries. She loves to sit on, bite, and hit her little brother, when she isn't busy hurting him she loves to hold him, sing to him, or read to him. She loves to say prayers, brush her teeth, color and do hair. She LOVES to talk on the phone; she usually calls Addy or Koen 50 times a day. She is eating a little better, she still loves eating noddles most. I love this age and I love this little girl!

LOVE THIS POST. THEY ARE SO DARLING. I DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD GET AWAY WITH BEING AS MOSIT AS YOUR BOY, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT HE IS SO CUTE THAT YOU DON'T EVEN MIND. DAD USED TO CALL JAKE A "LEAKER" CAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS MOIST 2. INFACT LAST NIGHT I TOOK THE KIDS FOR ICE-CREAM AND HE HAD IT DRIPPING DOWN HIS FACE. HE IS 8... MAYBE IT DOESN'T GET BETTER.

This post makes me want to come and stay at your house again! Your kids are so darling. I love the fact that Dean takes Josie with him sometimes! It reminds me of being little and loving to go anywhere with my dad. I'll probably never let Austin take our kids with him to work. No adult, let alone child should be around a garbage truck, or some of the dirty old men there.

Wow, 7 hours. That is way more cool than changing a diaper! That is awesome about your girl and goining potty. I wish when she called me that at lest once of the 50 times she would tell me how to potty train my kids.
