{Funny stuff}

I have to post two(now four) things before i FORGET.

1. JAYDON went poo poo on the toilet last night. He told me he was poopy, which means he has to go. I said "Do you need to go poo poo?" He said, "yes". I took him in, put him on the toilet. Nothing happened for a few minutes. I thought it was a false alarm, or even started to wonder if he was going to be one of those children that is scared to go poop on the toilet. He has already told me another time that he had to go poo and he never went on the toilet. So, after waiting about five minutes i said "Jaydon go poop". He pushed a little and WENT! haha! It's like he was just waiting for me to say that or something. I love it. He is so ready and is teaching himself!! This kid amazes me in so many different ways all the time. NEXT week when i am not so darn busy i will devote my days to getting it DOWN for good. :) I can't wait. I am going to have a diaper free house in about one week. (crossing fingers)

2. Jaydon, Tanner and Shane and I were walking into the BX today to get some subway for lunch. On our way in the air STUNK soooooooo bad, like raw sewage. It just suddenly came and i got a big whiff of it and said "oh sick, what is that smell?!" Right as Shane is being saluted by someone Tanner says really loudly "I don't know, Maybe daddy farted or something!" It was hilarious. Really you had to be there.

3. I guess this one doesn't have to do with stinky smells, and in fact i almost forgot about this one. I was putting Jaydon's shoes on his feet today before running out the door. As i was putting them on him he said to me with a big smile "[I]feel the spirit again"....I thought i heard him wrong and said "WHat?" He said "[I] feel the spirit again." I said "you feel the spirit?" He said "yeah". SERIOUSLY? This kid is a smarty pants in every way. He is teaching himself to go on the toilet....he is remembering us talking about feeling the spirit and feeling it, and maybe even recognizing it??....He is always watching out for his brothers. He tries to keep the peace between tanner and gavin. He tries to fix any problems. If his brothers get hurt in any way he is RIGHT THERE saying "are you okay, nanner?" OR "are you okay gamin?" And he will pet their heads at the same time. He will come sit on my lap, look me in the eyes, smile and carress my face...and he does it in a way like he is trying to take care of me. If i lay on the ground he brings me his blanky and forms it into a pillow for me. He is always aware of his surroundings and always trying to help. It is the sweetest thing on planet earth!! If we all start wrestling around, he doesn't like when anybody wrestles around with mommy. He is there always trying to protect me. When my friend Amy watched my kids for a few days, she said jaydon is a smart boy. When they got in the car to go get her kids from preschool she told jaydon "Don't fall asleep jaydon." She said that so that she could lay him down for a nap when they got home. she said about half way through the drive she turned around to look at him to make sure he wasn't asleep. She didn't say anything when she looked at him, she just looked at him and then he smiled and said "I'm not falling asleep." I remember telling the boys to help Amy out while they stay at her house. That if they notice anything that she needs they need to help her because she has a lot of work to do with 6 kids. Amy said Jaydon was always by her side trying to help her out in any way he could. He is still SUCH boy , aside from these totally sweet things. He gets into everything he shouldn't. He is rough and tough and can keep up with the boys when wrestling around. He can run just about as fast as tanner now. He is a brute. AND knows what to do to get what he wants. He will totally try to melt your heart.

4.There is a pretty little girl in tanner's preschool and at church. Her name is Quincy. She fancies Tanner. :) haha. She and Tanner always wrestle around with each other. AND lately she keeps trying to kiss him. I had to let her mom know bc its happening often, but it's so cute. She asks tanner "can i kiss you?" haha! Tanner just tells me "Mom Quincy kissed me AGAAAIN!"
