Holy moly. I had a hell of a time getting these pictures to my computer. For some reason my phone will not connect to my computer. I have tried three different wires. I have tried two different sync programs....
I might have just put all of my personal information out on the web for all to see AND have every single picture I take automatically upload. Ha. So....this could be bad. Guess I need to investigate either a new cord...or an actual camera.
Regardless...here are some pictures. In random order. And today I am actually going to share a few quick stories that make me smile.
**We went to the pool last week and there was a couple laying out. There were actually a lot of people laying out but for one reason or another Cameron fixated on a specific couple. He looked at them and said, "Mommy, they night night?" And just kept staring. It caught Owen's attention too and they just stared in amazement at these two adults sleeping at the pool. Then they proceeded to act like they were sleeping too. About 30 minutes later the wife got up and started walking in the pool and Cameron was thrilled. He kept saying, "Mommy, she's awake. Mommy, she's awake." This routine went on the entire three hours that we played that day.
**The boys just start singing the ABC's on their own.
**Cameron fell asleep in timeout. He continued to get out of bed during nap time so I just kept putting him into timeout. After an hour of the back and forth he finally propped himself up against the wall and slept.
**I am learning A LOT at work. I am transitioning into my new role and I am learning, growing, and enjoying my job more and more.
**I asked Cameron if he wanted to try and pee in the potty. Surprisingly..he said yes. He was on the potty for about 30 seconds when he stood up and said, "What is that?" While pointing into the potty. I walked over and he had a tiny piece of poop come out. Owen heard the commotion and decided to come over and investigate. Needless to say, he ended up completely pooping in his diaper 5 minutes later!
**My boys are pretty amazing. I have been working more so when I am home for some reason I cherish the little moments of uncontrolled laughter that we share. For example, this afternoon I was calling the eye doctor for Cameron. They asked, "Mommy what are you doing?" I said that was on hold with the eye doctor. I laid on the floor and put the phone on my stomach on speaker phone. Then Cameron laid down next to me and started playing with a ball. Owen decided to do the same. So the three of us were laying side by side on the toy room floor playing and laughing. It was nice to sit and enjoy. Another story...last night when I got home from work the three of us laid in Cameron's bed and tickled, laughed, sang, and told stories of the day.
(Falling asleep in timeout)
A few extra things...I taught the boys "shame shame shame on your name." This should make my sister smile. When we were younger and we were trying to get our sibling in trouble, my dad would frequently say, "Go say to them, shame shame shame on your name." It actually started to make me mad. I wanted her to get into trouble and instead NOTHING was happening. I have now taught this to my children. Usually it instantly makes them both burst out into uncontrollable giggles. And in their 2 year old life...the issue is quickly forgotten. I even here them saying it to each other when they are going to sleep at night. It is pretty funny.
**And last thing I have written down. A few nights ago I was playing music (like always) but the boys were just playing and not really paying attention. All of sudden Beastie Boys came on and Cameron stopped what he was doing and started dancing. It was so stinking cute.
