My kids are really funny. Today we started with the battle of the bathroom. In the morning I usually have one of two battles with Daniel, one is making him go potty, the other is him eating breakfast. This morning it was both. Daniel needed to go potty which he said (not me), and that meant he had to take his pajamas off which meant he immediately got cold. Thus he proclaimed he no longer had to go to the bathroom. Seriously! Long, long, long story short. Eventually he did go potty and drink his shake for breakfast and it only took twelve minutes of screaming/crying and twenty minutes of pottying and breakfast.
Then we went to story time with the Ockeys and we saw an old friend which was nice. Alice actually sat for a whole story, which was awesome. Then after story time we came home and made applesauce which was so yummy. The kids only cried for about half the time so that made things go smoothly.
Eventually after two sinks full of dishes I took a nap while Daniel watched something on tv, but the cranky Daniel reared his head so we went for a walk/bike ride. Daniel made it so far I think we went over a mile and Alice loves watching Daniel ride his bike while we run behind him.
After all that my legs were tired. There are still weeds in my yard, they never end, so I hear. But at least now we have a fence on one side! Thanks neighbors!
On a funny note, Daniel LOVES preschool. He tells us about it for hours every day. The great thing is since his memory is so great we learn all the songs, exactly what people said, who wore what and who got in trouble. Although sometimes he tells the story of kids getting in trouble like it didn't involve him. But the truth eventually comes out. He is learning some and he is doing really good writing his letters.
Alice is trying to jump, crying slightly less, and is kind of talking. As in she says like three words and Mmmmmmm is for everything else. I cannot wait for her to say something. Though she does talk much more to Jason than to me.
In conference Pres. Monson told us we should be more grateful. So here are a few things I am grateful for.
1. Funny kids
2. Sleeping kids
3. Good fruit that does not taste like mold
4. Seinfeld
5. Dead sunflowers that bring tons of birds to my yard to eat the seeds
6. Bugs that entertain my kids for hours
7. Insecticides that save my trees from said bugs
8. My husband's job
9. All the things my husband does
10. A Daniel who sleeps in his bed not mine at night
