my turn

I dont have pictures. Only memories.

Davon said because I blogged about him injuring Miles I should blog about how i injured Jay.

We were at a friends house for dinner, I took him out of the van and said go see daddy. I thought he did, I turned my back to walk to the back of the van to get a bag out of the trunk, and slammed the door shut. Immediately after I heard Jays screams. Yep, he hadnt walked to daddy, instead he was reaching in and trying to get his hat. I was terrified at what happened, but quickly opened the door, picked him up and held him, calmly trying to calm him down. He calmed down and was able to show me his fingers. They were all still there (thank God) and he was able to move all of them:) Just a big gash on his thumb. A band-aid did the trick!! He went on to wrestle with the middle schoolers for hours:)

oops...dropped him

I've been meaning to blog about this with photos!

For Jays third birthday we took him bowling.

So fun.

Davon was playing with Miles, in the air, as dads do. Yep, dropped him. On the bowling alley floor.

All I kept saying to Davon was "I'm so mad at you."

Miles cried for a while, after much comfort from mommy and daddy, he stopped, but still wanted to snuggle. (not with daddy-the trust was teetering)

The next day Davon was watching him in the room, and Miles fell off the bed. He was done with Dad at this point. Laid his head on my shoulder and stared at Davon with his big crocodile tears like, "you did this to me." The trust was gone.

Poor buddy

P31

I have always felt like I married the man of my dreams. He is such a hard worker, and works hard at home too. I wish there was a proverb or something about a man of God like there is Proverbs 31 for a woman. We joke about how I can probably count on two hands the amount of times I have given our boys a bath. I am pretty sure miles was like 6 months the first time I actually gave him a bath. Davon would not miss a moment with them, especially at that age, given all they really want is mommy.

Every night when ever a boy cries I nudge Davon waking him up and making him get out of bed to take care of them, which he rarely has a complaint about. Last night we heard crying, which is always Jay having some kind of dream, or needing the covers, or asking a random 4am question, but it was Miles. Not knowing that at the moment I got Davon up to go talk to what I thought was Jay, but after he left I realized the cries were Miles. So I got out of bed to see what was wrong (it is soo infrequent Miles wakes up in the night, this was very strange). I walked around the corner to go to his room, and the smell hit me. I walked in to find my husband taking Miles' puke drenched jammies off. So I started helping. Which honestly if I hadnt gotten out of bed I think he would have tried to handle it all by himself. He washed Miles down and I stripped and lysoled the bed and moved Jay into ours. I then took Miles and held him while he vomited more, and when he was done all he wanted was for daddy to hold him. All i could do was watch this picture and smile. Davon is a wonderful husband and the best father any child could ask for. I can not imagine life without out him and I am beyond thankful for the blessing he is in my life.

stink

So as my boys get older they have a stink to them.

Jay can have the worst morning breath! and its the only time he wants to snuggle, and then chat! I have to make him brush his teeth right away, its gross. He also loves to fart. Thinks everything about it is hilarious.

Miles has just a stink to him. (and secretly i love it). He sucks his thumb while holding his lovey, so he in turn gets saliva all over him through the night and nap. My sister says he smells like chocolate spit:) It has such a sweet nasty smell, but I love it!

my feet hurt!

I got great new boots today that I rocked out all day long, while shopping with my mom, now my feet are killing me!
It is so hard for me not to want to buy Jay so many things. I really dont want to make it a habit of him getting overloaded for christmas, but his birthday is also here, and I look at so many things and think how much he would love to play with them!But all he wants from Santa is a skateboard, so thats what he is getting, and then of course something from us his parents. I used to think, why doesnt mom get us anything for christmas, why just santa? So Jay gets a present from us and a present from Santa, then of course my parents and my siblings.
My issue is Miles. He plays with all of Jay's toys and I see things that I know he will like, but not sure how much its worth something that will hold his attention for 10 minutes. I WILL NOT buy light up sound making toys, not because they annoy me, but because they dont stimulate their creativity and imagination, they merely entertain. If I want entertainment I can turn on the tv and we can all be entertained! VTECH the brand just irritates me. So that leaves me to the expensive wooden toys, which I LOVE, but dont want to empty my bank for my 1 year old christmas!! I love that they are recycled toys and will last forever. But again am I willing to spend the money? I love him, but honestly, its a toy, and he has plenty.
I am not a scrooge, just realistic. So who knows what he is gonna get? Ideas are welcome, just dont be surprised if I nix them:)
