More moments of motherhood

As I read through my parent’s magazine there was a snippet where they suggested writing down daily memories because your children grow up too fast and the things they say are precious etc...

In college I had a book that I wrote down the date and funny things people said so this idea was definitely something I was interested in. I figured rather than buy a journal (which I may still do) this was as good a place as any to log those Memories/moments.

6/22 My mom and I were taking the boys to my grandma's. I began singing along with the song. Mom and Jack were too. Jack announces "NOT you Mommy, only me and Shorty." My mother of course busts out laughing hysterically because when I was Jack's age I was a complete beast and would not let my mother or Grandmother sing to me. Apparently there is karma.
6/23 Jack decided fresh strawberries were the best and didn't mind if they were washed.
6/29 We take Uncle Tim to the airport for him to fly home to Florida. It was a long weekend and Jack fell asleep before we got to the airport so he did not get to say goodbye. He woke up when we were almost at the mall "Where Tim go?" I proceeded to tell him that Uncle Tim got on the airplane to go back to Florida. Jack began bawling...."I want him, Tim come back, no go Florida, etc." He seriously cried for about 15-20 minutes. Once we got to the mall we were doing some shopping when I got a phone call. Uncle Tim missed his flight. Great now he is going to think he can throw a fit and Uncle Tim will come back at any time. =)
6/30 On our way to the smokey mountains, or "MOKEY MnTains" Jack calls from the backseat I GO POTTY. Then promptly says I need fresh diaper...ya think?
7/1 Ryan earns the nickname Possum. Literally every time we lay him down to sleep he opens up those big BLUE eyes and smiles.
7/2 My sons take after their father. Jack "tooted" today and laughed. Ryan got laid down to sleep, of which he promptly woke up, smiled, lifted his leg and ripped a MAN fart. Yep, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
7/6 My boss asked me to come in and help with a master schedule. He told me that it was fine to bring the boys. So I did. As we are discussing school business, Jack announces I go poop, not once but about three different times. Professional huh?
7/7 Today I had to take the boys to the pediatrician. They both had ear infections which made for AWESOME moods on every bodies part. Let me tell you days like today make me realize why some animals eat their young. The cute thing was as Jack tried to play with the equipment in the doctor’s office, he told me "Not you Mommy, only doctors, not me, only doctors." Yes Jack that is right, as you pull out the stirrups that women love to put their legs in.
