366 Project: Week 16

Sunday (Day 113)

April 22, 2012

 This is where Patrick and I got married 6 years and 13 days ago. :)

Monday (Day 114)

April 23, 2012

  The patient listed isn't covered, because Kiovia Lampkin doesn't exist. . .WTG Cigna. . .

Since he insists on walking, I've been trying to convince him that he needs to master that before he starts trying to run…

Tuesday, (Day 115)

April 24, 2012

 Bedtime approacheth.

Kadence has informed me that she doesn't like pizza crosses. She will eat the pizza, but she will not eat the cross. ;)

Wednesday (Day 116)

April 25, 2012

  If you're on the floor, you're on his level, and therefore fair game.

Korvin had a PT follow up evaluation today. It's been 4 months since he was there last. . .but he remembers. As soon as his therapist touched him, he started screaming at her, and fighting to get away. He's fine now, but he cried himself to sleep in the car on the way home. Methinks he has PTSD. . .poor baby. :(

Thursday (Day 117)

April 26, 2012

"Prince Batman"

Kadence gave him a cape, and then named him...again. :) 

Prince Batman cut his 4th tooth today.

Friday (Day 118)

April 27, 2012

 Kadence got some money in the mail from her great aunt Karen. . .she was spinning around with it yelling "Yay, now I can pay rent money!"

I actually don't have a response for that. . .

I told Korvin he couldn't lick tile anymore. . .or walls. . .so he licked my toe. He also made out with the fireplace starter.

Saturday (Day 119)

April 28, 2012

  There are no words. . .just laughter. lol

You can't take your skin with you

Had a rather interesting conversation with Kadence on Friday. She learned in pre-school that your soul lives forever. Now, souls are hard to explain to 4 year olds (took me a week to explain the Godhead when that came up in school.) So when she informed Patrick that he was going to live forever, she didn't understand the difference in a living body vs. a living soul, and he doesn't realize that SHE'S 4! He told her that he was going to have to die someday, because we all die. 

Here she was thinking that he was going to live forever (or his soul was,) and now she's trying to figure out how if everyone's soul lives forever, why does daddy's have to die? She was upset, and to make her feel better, he told her he wasn't going to die for a very long time. She would be married, and have kids, and he'd be a grandpa before he died.

Again, she's 4. . .and I wasn't present for this conversation.

 The kids and I were on our way back home from picking up milk from the co-op, and Kadence is looking forlorn and upset in the backseat. Then she informs me "I don't want to call Daddy grandpa! I don't want his soul to die!"

I had to have her repeat that 2 more times to make sure that was really what she said. I was quite confused.

Me: You're not supposed to call Daddy "grandpa." Daddy will always be your daddy. Daddy's soul isn't going to die. Souls live forever.
Kadence: No, Daddy said I'll have to call him grandpa, and that his soul is going to die!
Me (slowly figuring out what's going on): No, I think what daddy said was that when you have kids, he's going to be THEIR grandpa. Daddy's soul isn't going to die. Everyone's BODY eventually get old, worn out, and dies, but then your soul goes to live forever in Heaven.
Kadence: But I don't want to die!
Me: You're not going to die for a long time.
Kadence (crying): Can I take my skin?
Me (trying not to lose it): No, your skin has to stay here.
Kadence (wailing, with tears streaming down her cheeks): But without my skin, it's just a skeleton!!!
Me (officially lost it, but trying to hide my face so she doesn't see me laughing): No baby, your old, worn out body has to stay here, but when your soul gets to heaven, you get a whole NEW body!
Kadence: (continues crying)
Me: Look, there's Sonic. Will a slush make you feel better?
Kadence (stops crying): Yes, I want a smurth one. (We call blue powerade slushes smurf slushes)


Yes, I changed the subject by stopping at Sonic and getting her a slush. Tell me, what would YOU have done. lol


Later that afternoon she was up in her room until Korvin went to sleep. I was watching Supernatural for a little bit until he was asleep, and I called her to come down. It was paused on the TV when she came into the living room, and she asked "Can I watch your show with you?" I told her she wasn't big enough to watch my show with me. So then she asked "When I go to heaven and get a new body, can I watch your show with you?" I told her we won't be watching shows in heaven..."Well, then when I grow up into an adult body, can I watch your show with you?"


I'm going to be sorting this out for a long time. . .and Patrick has been told not to have talks with her anymore. :)

366 Project: Week 15

Sunday (Day 106)

April 15, 2012 

Captain America, and his adorable sidekick...Mr. Baby Pants! :)
  Patrick made the shield...out of paper.

Korvin stopped crawling to lean down and lick the tile. I'm still trying to figure out why. . .and I'm also wondering if this has happened before, and this was just the first time I've seen him do it.

Monday (Day 107)

April 16, 2012

Night-night baby!

Korvin follows Kadence around like a puppy. She went to the bathroom, and closed the door so he wouldn't follow her. He sat outside the door banging on it, until she told him "No sir!" So then he started screaming at her through the door.

 

Tuesday (Day 108)

April 17, 2012

Running home from school.

The shirt Kadence is wearing today says "will trade brother for a pony." I asked her if she would really trade him for a pony. She said "No, I'll trade him for a zebra."

Wednesday (Day 109)

April 18, 2012

He very much likes yogurt...but he refuses to be fed. So he fed himself greek yogurt.

How's this for logic...I sent Kadence away from the table during snack time, because she wouldn't stop teasing the baby. She kept pretending to give him her food, and that resulted him him dropping his food on the floor while trying to get her food. So she was indignantly crying on the couch while he finished his snack, and informed me that I was teasing HER.

Her explanation?

"I was TRYING to eat, but you were distracting me from teasing the baby while he was eating."

YOU try keeping a straight face while dealing with that. LOL

Thursday (Day 110)

April 19, 2012

They hold hands while they eat dinner too. The problem with this set up is that she's right handed, and while he seems to be left handed, he does fine with his right hand. . .but she can't eat if he won't let go. lol

Korvin started walking on his own today. Only on carpet though. . .tile confuses him. Did I mention that he's only 9 months old??

Friday (Day 111)

April 20, 2012

The corner of the partition ledge between my shower and my bathtub cracked my head open last night (chasing Korvin to get his diaper off for his bath.) I find that as long as I'm perfectly still, my head doesn't hurt that badly...until one (or both) of the children scream. At least it looks much better than it did last night.

Korvin cut his 3rd tooth today.

Saturday (Day 112)

April 21, 2012

 We had a goooood party today. :)

A friend in Abilene hosted a skinny wrap party for me. The wraps tone, tighten and firm skin, while breaking down fat and detoxing. As Kadence says, "We make people not fat anymore." lol

366 Project: Week 14

Sunday (Day 99)

April 8, 2012

 Korvin's 1st Easter. . .and 1st Easter egg. Kadence is already on a sugar high. lol

Monday (Day 100)

April 9, 2012

 Finally got a picture of his teeth! Hahahahaha. . .he was rawring me.

Today was our 1st 6th anniversary. :) Our 2nd 6th anniversary will be on May 20th.

Tuesday (Day 101)

April 10, 2012

 Time to install a gate for the kitchen. As much fun as it is to get into and reorganize the cabinets, mommy doesn't want it to become a frequent occurrence.

Wednesday (Day 102)

April 11, 2012

 Who needs a pet when you have a baby brother? :)

Thursday (Day 103)

April 12, 2012

  My Mac is cooler than your Mac. . .or PC. ;)

K2: (banging things, and making as much noise as possible)

K1: He sure is annoying.

So when a 9 month old crawls into the bathroom, pulls himself up on the tub, starts banging on it and saying "Baff! Baff!" I think it's safe to assume he wants a bath. . .

 

Kadence: Can you drown in the pool?
Me: Yes, you can, but I'd rather you didn't.
K: Last time, we went swimming with Scott, Charlie's dad, and he taught me how to swim, so I didn't drown. Scott likes to swim.

I guess we don't need Miss Jane to teach her how to swim since Scott, Charlie's dad already did last summer. . .that one time. lol

Friday (Day 104)

April 13, 2012

  I believe I made my opinion of Parents magazine's opinion perfectly clear. . .EVERYONE needs fat, especially growing children. . .if you want your kid's to be healthy, how about instead of worrying about eliminating healthy fat from your kid's milk, you just stop taking them to McDonald's, feeding them fried foods, and have them go outside and play every day. Geez.

I had this conversation with Korvin today:

Me: Say Dada.
K2: Mama.
Me: No, say Dada.
K2: Baba.
Me: Say Dada.
K2: Googoogaga. (He really said that. . .I'm not joking.)
Me: Say Dada.
K2: Bob.

I'm just gonna stop trying now, cause Bob is NOT his Dada, and he's gonna give people the wrong impression. LOL

Saturday (Day 105)

April 14, 2012 

The guy wearing this shirt got it from his wife when she found out she was pregnant. How's that for an announcement? LOL

Kadence was supposed to go to my bathroom to take a shower and get ready for bed. Instead, she went into her bathroom. I told her she was supposed to be in my bathroom, and she said "But my butt wants to pee in here!"

366 Project: Week 13

Sunday (Day 92)

April 1, 2012

 Soaking wet after riding Aquaman at Six Flags. . .she wasn't expecting that. Lol

Monday (Day 93)

April 2, 2012

 Whenever we go to Costco, Kadence always asks the person at the door to draw a smiley face on the receipt when we leave. This is what she got today.

Tuesday (Day 94)

April 3, 2012

 What is it about little boys that makes cheese = happiness?

He slept from 8pm last night to 7am this morning, in his own bed, without waking up once. I could get used to that. :)

Wednesday (Day 95)

April 4, 2012

 This is how Korvin crawls on tile. He's on hands and knees on carpet, but as soon as he hits tile, he goes onto hands and feet. When he's still, he looks like a little football player. . .but when he's actually crawling like this, he looks like a spider.

Thursday (Day 96)

April 5, 2012

 Tried one of the facial wraps. . .while Korvin was asleep of course, so he didn't freak out. :) My skin is super hydrated now, and my wrinkles look better. Now I don't look quite so old and worn out.

Friday (Day 97)

April 6, 2012

 Cloud had a rainbow in it. . .in the middle of a completely dry day. :)

Korvin had his 9 month checkup today. 

22 lbs, 13 oz (81%) 

30.75 inches (98%)

Head circumference 45.72 cms (61%) 

This is why we have trouble keeping him clothed, and he runs around in just a diaper most of the time. lol

 

Saturday (Day 98)

April 7, 2012

 Target apparently has a trash can in the bathroom by the pharmacy designated for rectal use only. . .and I'm showing GREAT restraint by not saying anything else. LOL

366 Project: Week 12

Sunday (Day 85)

March 25, 2012

Had a skinny wrap party at my house today. Kadence wanted to be wrapped too. Since her wrap only consisted of saran wrap, she lost the least amount (zero inches. Lol) The person with the most after 45 minutes was 4.5 inches. Woohoo!

Monday (Day 86)

March 26, 2012

The construction workers building a house behind us were bothering him while he was trying to take a nap.

Tuesday (Day 87)

March 27, 2012

Tired, but not ready for sleep. So I gave him a pillow, and let him chill on the floor. :)

Wednesday (Day 88)

March 28, 2012

What? I didn't do anything. . .

Thursday (Day 89)

March 29, 2012

Making out with the baby on the placemat. :)

Friday (Day 90)

March 30, 2012

Korvin is 9 months old today. . .and he decided to celebrate by teaching himself to climb the stairs, and causing mommy to have a heart attack. Don't worry, there were 2 other people standing there while I took the picture to catch him in case he fell. . .and daddy is putting a gate up when he gets home. (Picture's a little blurry. . .he wasn't interested in being still, and I didn't really want to let him keep going just to get a better picture. lol)

Saturday (Day 91)

March 31, 2012

I must be more of a hippie than I thought. . .and it's apparently rubbing off. Lol Kadence randomly hugged a tree on our walk home today.
