TinKLe, tiNkLe, SICK AGAIN, & one month

One o'clock church and this guy

just DO NOT get along!

One o'clock is nap time. Yes, I know, my sister tells me all the time how lucky I am that my 4 year old still takes a nap. He can't function without them!

Example 1:
Last Sunday, exhausted without his nap, Tav-man went to bed at 7pm. He was asleep in 5 minutes. By 8pm he was doing at lot of talking in his sleep and yelling how he needed to go potty. Brett and I both told him to just go. We heard him go into the bathroom, flip the light on, and start to go potty, but the surface the pee was hitting was not toilet water. Brett and I went running. Tavin was standing next to the tub, peeing on a towel on the floor. (At least he made the clean-up easy. HA!) We both started laughing hysterically! Tavin looked over and smiled a sleepy smile, but then he got really sad. Brett kept saying, "It's ok buddy! You're just really tired." He helped him back to bed while I did nothing but stand in the hall because I could not stop laughing!!! Brett and I seriously laughed the rest of the night. The next morning Tavin remembered NOTHING of his pee mishap.

Example 2:
Tavin has only wet the bed twice in his life and has never worn pull-ups. He is as anal as me about everything...esp. about being clean. Yesterday was another Sunday without a nap and another early bedtime. Around 4am, Tavin wandered into our room and kept saying he needed new jammies because he was so sweaty. Brett got up to help him, but immediately smelled urine. Tavin was sure he had not wet the bed and had to be convinced otherwise. After a quick bath from dad and a change of sheets by mom, Tav was back in bed.

The poor guy is so tired without a nap he can't even make it to the bathroom.


On another note, Kirra is sick again!!! She was just finally getting over a really bad cold. We are already going to the dr. tmrw for the stench and crazy amount of liquid coming out of her ear. I seriously feel like I am going to have to become a recluse! We only ventured out to the grocery store and Target all week. Where did she pick up this new virus???


Shad is one month old today. (Thanks Kelly for the text reminding me of that.)

To some I may sound like a mean mom, but I just consider myself realistic. My boys have not been the cutest babies. Kirra on the other hand was gorgeous from day one. But my boys are a little alien looking, covered in baby acne, have super crazy hair lines, and just need a couple months to grow into themselves. I only say this because I KNOW they WILL BE adOrABLe...eventually.





I had to post this last picture because it cracked me up. Look at Kirra in the background. I guess that's how we eat cake mixes. She's in her own world, just playing away, as I take pictures of her brother. ...so Kirra!
