They Never Forget

Rowan remembers everything- well at least the stuff that he doesn't need to remember at all. For a while, a few months ago, he would all the sudden remember something- like how he was going to play with his trains while I cooked dinner- YESTERDAY. So he would remember a few days later that he didn't do this and would have a huge meltdown, and since I don't have a time machine I could not stop his fit. I think I've gotten pretty good at avoiding this and he hasn't had too many of these meltdowns in a while.

Last night, right after supper, he said he wanted a muffin for his bedtime snack. We both forgot, he brushed his teeth, read books and went to bed. It crossed my mind right before he went to bed that he didn't eat his muffin- but by that time I was ready for him to go to bed so didn't say anything. I had a brief thought that he would probably remember as soon as he was in bed, but he didn't.

1:52am he wakes up crying/whining cause his blankets fell off him. I go help him, and go back to bed.
2:16am he's crying/whining cause he's thirsty, I tell him to come get a drink of my water- back to bed
2:30am- he starts crying/whining a lot. I can't understand him, but think he is upset about his train track- I'm confused cause he didn't even play with it that day, did I step on it when I went in there? He's crying louder, I am trying to quietly yell from my bed that will fix it in the morning...... Eli is next to me and has now shifted his head on my arm, I know if I move him, he'll hear Rowan and wake up- and I don't even want to mess with that. rowan's still crying and then I realize what the probelm is- HE DIDN"T EAT A MUFFIN FOR HIS BEDTIME SNACK!!! Are you kidding me, it's 2:30 in the morning and he's crying cause he forgot to eat a muffin 5 hours earlier! Of course this continues for a while and he finally goes to sleep. He woke up cranky and whiny and one of the first things he mentioned was how he had wanted a muffin for a bedtime snack! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Easter

As if I needed to make it so obvious that the 2nd child DOES get treated different. The above picture- yeah, that's Rowan. Eli was lucky we remembered to take a picture of him sitting in the grass holding an egg... oh the memories he'll have!! He did seem pretty happy with his egg though, he also got to try watermelon and shortcake (don't worry it was homemade- remember preservatives=BAD!) ;)

Rowan got to have 2 different egg hunts today, he didn't really seem too concerned with getting a lot of eggs. But did still have a good time.

Those big eggs are hollow (so sad..)

getting 9 kids in a picture(6 were 5yrs and under) wasn't too hard




Above pics at Mike's family, then we headed for desert at my Aunt's and some more egg finding

Yeah we found eggs!!

Issues

My computer is having issues. I don't know if it's the computer or the internet, but something is not right. Pages never load, or just load EXTREMELY slow. We get the "Internet Explorer cannot display web page...." almost every other time we try to open a page. It is driving me absolutely insane, and hoepfully won't end with me throwing the computer out the window it sits in front of- this has crossed my mind way too many times. A 10second email check turns into a 20 minute constant refreshing and restarting of the page.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if anyone has any ideas as to why this could be happening and what I can do to fix it, please help!! Of course you might not even see this since the chances are good that the internet will stop working again and this won't post.

True Love- Baby Style

This is Baby.

Eli LOVES Baby!

He gets this goofy-happy look on his face everytime he sees Baby.

He crawls quickly towards Baby everytime he sees her.

Baby makes him happy!





He smothers her with lots of kisses (and chews).

(please ignore the piles of laundry, Eli was helping me fold..)

Sometimes he just loves to hold Baby.




He likes to hold Baby when he crawls.

This is the bus Baby came in.

Sometimes he opens the door and tries to put Baby in it and then gets her right back out again.

This is The Guy, aka "The Driver," Eli likes to play with The Guy too.

Sometimes it's tough to choose between The Guy and Baby.



But he always goes back to Baby again.
