366 Project: Week 18

Sunday (Day 127)

May 6, 2012

Korvin's first pool experience. He was very excited on the way there, and kept giggling and telling KK "Baff! Baff!" (He watches her swimming lessons, and has been wanting to get in the "baff" with her.) He didn't want to leave when it was time to go, but he was so worn out, he pretty much crashed as soon as he was cleaned up.

 

Monday (Day 128)

May 7, 2012

A smart person would have designed the cart so the children in it could see where we're going. . .

 

I was informed today that Mr. Car (my car) married Daddy's car, and they had a baby. Patrick's truck is their baby. Baby Truck was in Mrs. Car's tummy, but he grew up. (This is being filed under "things you just nod and smile about.") lol

 

Tuesday (Day 129)

May 8, 2012

I told him that Lacey and Brian had to 2 little baby boys today, and that he'd get to play with them when they were bigger. He seems pretty excited about it. :) He also got tooth #5 today.

Wednesday (Day 130)

May 9, 2012

 He likes to put things in the pack n play. . .so after he made off with my phone and I couldn't find it anywhere, it finally occurred to me to look here.

Thursday (Day 131)

May 10, 2012

 Remember when you were a kid, and you saw THE coolest toy at the store, and HAD to have it? Mom usually says no. . .but sometimes, Mom needs to say yes. Today was yes, because Kadence NEEDED her own Captain America shield to match Daddy's. :)

Friday (Day 132)

May 11, 2012

This made me laugh. The general consensus is that it's kale. . .but I can't figure out why anyone would have a decorative kale plant. LOL

Saturday (Day 133)

May 12, 2012

Got to hang out with an Aussie friend in Houston today. :D I met Grace when I was in Australia 10 years ago, which is when we last saw each other. We've decided that it's my turn to visit next, so I have to go back to Australia sometime in the next 10 years. ;)

366 Project: Week 17

Sunday (Day 120)

April 29, 2012

 Daddy taking Korvin and Bob to bed. Korvin won't go to sleep without Bob. . .can you tell? :)

 

Kadence calls my car Mr. Car, and he's her friend. They have conversations. . .she talks, and Mr. Car responds by flashing lights, honking, unlocking/locking the doors etc.

So today on the way home, she informed me that she wanted Mr. Car, and Daddy's car to be friends and honk together. She wanted them to go on a date, honk together, and then come back home with us inside. She was very serious. My response? Yeah, I didn't have one. LOL

 

 

Monday (Day 121)

April 30, 2012

 Home from her first swimming lesson of the year. :)

 

Korvin is 10 months old today. . .Saturday he started signing "more" when he wanted more cheese at dinner, and then he started saying "gankoo" when I gave him something, or changed his diaper. He such a polite baby. :)

 

 

Tuesday (Day 122)

May 1, 2012

 If one needs Bob, and at least one binky to go to sleep, reason dictates that if one throws Bob and binkies overboard, one doesn't have to go to sleep. . .right? WRONG.

Dear Korvin,
Mommy will always win. Just ask your sister.
♥

 

 

Wednesday (Day 123)

May 2, 2012

 I've been expecting this for awhile. . .it's the inevitable result of simultaneously trying to bathe 2 children and get them ready for bed. Korvin occasionally escapes before I get a diaper on him. This is the first time he's capitalized on his post bath naked escape.

 

This morning Kadence asked to see the booboo on my head again, and I told her that you couldn't see it anymore. She looked anyway, and then told me "God healed it. I'm so proud." I was exerting too much effort being serious to inquire further.

 

Thursday (Day 124)

May 3, 2012

 One question comes to mind. . .did they look both ways before they crossed the street? ;)

 

Friday (Day 125)

May 4, 2012

 "Keep banging so it will open, and we can get out!!"

 

Korvin keeps crawling into my lap for hugs. . .then he started doing it to KK. She said "He's a huggy little monster!"

 

 

Saturday (Day 126)

May 5, 2012

If your emergency exit requires you to go under, over, or through a fence, you just might be a redneck. . .

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. :)
