I felt the babies move today!

We flew to KC today for a family Labor Day vacation.  After putting Hampton to bed, I was visiting with my aunt and felt the every so gentle flutter of the babies.  I don't notice it unless I'm sitting still, but it won't be long before I can feel them all the time.

Luby's is one of my favorite places to eat and Hampton likes it too because he gets mac and cheese and red jello. What a treat! Ben is traveling this week, so H and I ate there this evening. He ate ALL of his turkey, broccoli and mac and cheese. He drank a carton of milk and ate his jello. As we were walking to the car he arched his back, threw his head back and said, "My full Mommy. My tummy hurts." As I was buckling him into his car seat he said, "Not too tight, Mommy. Tummy hurts."

Conversation with a 2 year old

After MDO open house I changed Hampton's dirty diaper in the parking lot...obviously, no trash can. On our way to meet Drew for lunch I asked Hampton if he could smell is diaper in the back. The following conversation took place:

"Hampton, can you smell your dirty diaper?"

"Yes, I do."

"What does it smell like?"

Long pause..."Umm, dat smell wike fowers."

"I don't know what flowers you have been smelling..."

My big boy didn't take a nap today and just ate 4 pieces of pizza.

Update: No nap was my decision. He was playing with one of his best buddies while his mom and I caught up. We were all having so much fun, we lost track of time. The next day he napped for over 4 hours. He is NOT ready to drop a nap, and even when he does, he will still have mandatory rest time!!!

Fro My Juice

Hampton has gotten in the bad habit of throwing everything...and I have gotten a bit lazy in disciplining. This morning he had to go to time-out for throwing Thomas, his train. Shortly after getting out of time-out the following conversation took place:

Mommy- "What did you just do?"

Hampton-"Fro my juice."

Mommy-"Didn't you just have to go to time-out for throwing Thomas? "

Hampton-"Uh huh"

Mommy-"Do you think you need to go back to time-out because you didn't learn your lesson?"

Hampton-"Uh huh", as he starts toward his room.

Mommy-"You should probably go get in your time-out chair. "

Hampton-"Okay", as he enters his dark room..."My not obey Mommy. My fro juice. Go time-out", as he climbs into his chair.

You would think he had learned, but he ended up in time-out for throwing at least 3 more times today.

I LOVE this boy!!!

Silly Boy

As Hampton and I were getting ready to go swimming, I sent him to put his clothes in his dirty clothes basket and bring me a swim diaper. This is how he returned...

First of all, where did he find those things and second, what made him think that's where they belong. I love this kid!!!
