A Little Bragging

Ok, so this isn't necessarily something my kids may have said, but it's time to bring Quinn in too. We got his 2nd quarter grade card yesterday. Once again he had all "E" and "+" on his report card. He was even too smart this time around to fall for my "All E's?!?! That's almost an F!"

He is doing great in school and I am so proud of him. Parent-teacher conferences are next month. This time they will be student lead. So, I am anxious to see how that goes.

Reese is Getting in on the Action

I knew Kirk was excited about FINALLY getting his "daddy's girl." But, even if the boys prefer me at times, they were never evil to him.

My baby is only 10 months old and she is already teasing me in her evil ways. Over the last few days she has started trying to headbutt me. And when she does she gets this little evil grin and laughs. Last night, Kirk was holding her and I was standing next to them. She started doing the headbutt thing to me, from his arms! (Never once going towards him, I might add.) Then, every time I would ask her for a kiss, she would slap my face. Of course, this has Kirk completely cracking up. Especially with the fact that if he asked for a kiss, she would turn and kiss him. Then, if I would sneak a kiss in on her, she would take her hands and wipe it off! Wow!

Crazy girl. Of course, she still prefers to fall asleep in my arms, rather than daddy's. Although, that may have something to do with the built-in pillows on my chest, that he doesn't have. :)

Drama King

Yesterday, as I was making dinner Chase was begging for a snack. I kept telling him no, until he burst into one of his whiny, fake crying fits. I told him that crying would not get him what he was wanting; crying would just make him get sent to his room until dinner was ready. With that, he covered his eyes with his hands and went running out of the room (fake crying still) and exclaimed, "I guess I'm not your boy anymore!"

Then, at dinner we were having trouble (as usual) with him staying in his seat. We kept telling him he needed to sit down on his bottom and eat like everyone else at the table. Again with the hands covering the eyes, he whined, "I guess I'm just a failure."

Well I quickly told him that he wasn't a failure that he just needed to sit down to eat. "That's how big boys do it." Then I asked him where he even heard the word failure; it's definitely not something we tell our children. He said that is what Mr. Krabs said...thanks a lot Spongebob. Hopefully we can get that word out of his vocabulary soon! Failure and can't are two words this mommy doesn't want her children using.
