Brennan knows the Presidents!!

Brennan is like a sponge, he soaks up everything, lol. Seriously, I am not just saying this because he is mine, (well maybe a little) but this boy is smart!! He learned all 44 Presidents in three weeks. I am so proud of him. He is still two, almost three! Remember he knew and could recognize every letter of the Alphabet at 22 months :) He has known all of his shapes including, hexagon, pentagon, octagon etc since he was a tiny thing!! We are doing the "My baby can read" program right now and I am looking for State flash cards so I can teach him the states next! So here ya go, my little genius saying the Presidents. This is truly hilarious to watch because of how he pronounces some of them!!

Multitasking!

Who says you can not watch TWO shows at ONE time??? This cracked me up last week when I saw Brennan doing this. We bought him the fisher price kids dvd player for Christmas and he LOVES it. He knows how to put his movies in, how to rewind, fast forward, push play, stop etc...and so at certain times during the day he will sit in the stool in the kitchen (this is known as Brennan's chair now) and watch some of his movies. He rarely watches a whole dvd, I think he just likes putting them in and taking them out. Anyway, he is also addicted to my I phone and plays games and watches videos on it as well. We have a few videos on it for the kids and on this day Brennan was watching "Clifford, the Big Red Dog", on his dvd player and "Max and Ruby" on the I phone. It was so cute how he had the phone propped up on the dvd player. I thought this was so funny, John said he is a multitasker..lol.



So Ayla is finally feeling better, she has been sick all week and because of that we think her arthritis is bothering her. She has been crying about her left knee and holding her elbow so now that she is better hopefully her joints will feel better too. It stinks when she gets sick because we can not give her arthritis meds to her because she will have an even harder time fighting off the sickness, so we have to wait until she is well. Yesterday she started feeling like herself again and today she is doing even better so I think we are over the worse part! Tomorrow is my birthday so John and I are going to drive to Louisville KY and stay Friday night. We plan on having dinner and doing a little shopping! We will be home Saturday, so it is just a little one night get away..lol. My sister and brother in law have offered to stay with the kids Friday night so we can spend some time together for my birthday. We have to pick Kaleb up Saturday in KY also so that is another reason why we decided to go. So I will be MIA for a few days, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Mystery Solved!

One day last week John came home from work to have lunch at the house. After he went back to work I realized that it was getting very cold in the house. I went and looked at the thermostat and to my surprise it read 69 degrees which put it into emergency mode, which explained why it was cold. We normally leave it on 72-73 degrees during the Winter months. I know I didn't change it so I just assumed that John had set it lower because maybe it was warmer outside that day, after all, I was the only other person home, Kaleb was at school and Ayla and Brennan can't reach it sooo...John was the ONLY person who could have changed it. When John got home later I asked him if he changed the thermostat and he said "no". I was baffled, I just didn't know who could have done it if he did not. John suggested that maybe Ayla or Brennan did it. Nope no way, I was not hearing it, they could NOT reach it and besides I would see them if they tried to do something like that.....so the VERY next day, this is what I saw





MYSTERY SOLVED!

Yes my precious two year old had been carrying his trash can from his room and standing on it to push the buttons, I couldn't help but to laugh! So, I had to have a very serious conversation with him because he was making me look bad. See what happens when you take up for your children? They prove you wrong every time...lol. But I do have to give him credit, he was smart enough to figure out a way to actually reach the buttons and do it when I was NOT looking!! Life with a two year old, gotta love it!!
