Moments of motherhood

Being a mom has taken a hold of EVERYTHING and there are things I have neglected, like excercise, cleaning, adult conversation, sleep, sometimes a shower....and blogging. =) Thanks to a very special cousin/friend and friend to make more of an effort for those things. Plus nobody likes me when I smell and I'm tired. =) Thus tonights post.....

Living with a two year old is entertaining. He has given us several gems lately that I am sure we will remind him of when he is older.

I am currently breastfeeding his younger brother. Now we have tried to explain that to him, he just doesn't get it. He insists that his brother is eating my arm and when ever Ryan is done eating he will innocently say "You arm empty?"

He was playing with his Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus (who had just been released from the prison of bad toys...on top of the refrigerator, that is another whole story.) I was busy trying to do things without his "help." When I heard him say "Time out Joseph." I came back down stairs and Joseph was sitting on the naughty step. "Is Joseph in timeout?" Jack nodded emphatically. "What did he do?" I asked. "He pushd Baby Jesus." Well enough said....

I was busy in the kitchen when I noticed Jack had Ryan's bottle in his mouth. Ryan had drank all but about a 1/2 an ounce. I asked him if he was drinking Ryan's bottle. He said yep! I said "You did?" somewhat surprised. He smiles and says "It's yummy!" - I'm thinking it was hard enough to wean this kid the first time, the last thing I need is him stealing breast milk from his baby brother. =)

Tonight we were on our way home and he calls "Mommy" from the backseat. I turned around and his face is beat red and in his deepest most strained monster like voice he says "I go POTTY!" While laughing I asked you have to go or you did? He answers-shocker- "I did!" I preceed to laugh and then when I finally catch my breath I said "sh&%" Tom responds with "exactly" and Jack says "sure"

At least there is never a dull moment. =)
