RJ: "Baby, baby." Lily (thought bubble) : "Shit, here comes my brother
again. What is he gonna do to me this time?"
April 18th 2010
Got baby ducks and chicks today. Does not sound like duck or chick
when RJ says it....good cover for us though since he may be saying
words that are not daycare approved!
April 18 at 10:30pm
April 22nd 2010
RJ was bitten again at daycare (like the 6th time)...it is his BFF
that does it. So, biter boy was in time out and was crying. What does
my sweet RJ do? He walks over to him and hugs him because he was
crying.
April 30th 2010
RJ is a fist bumper now.
May 13th 2010
RJ just picked up and ate some random crumb of food...
May 13 at 6:16am
May 13th 2010
Motorcycle oil on the face, hands, clothes, blankey...RJ is ready for a bath
June 16th 2010
RJ decided to be artistic on my kitchen table with a sharpie.
June 19th 2010
Lily cannot take her eyes off of RJ when he is near her - so sweet or
is she terrified?
June 21st 2010
We need a backup WInnie-the-Pooh for RJ. After being dipped in oil
this one is being washed and he is having a meltdown.
June 28th 2010
RJ: "Mine"
Me: "No, it's Lily's"
RJ: "Mine"
June 30th 2010
Changing RJ's diaper and he grabs his junk, looks at me, "MINE".
July 26th 2010
RJ: "Poop, pee, poop, pee." Me: "Do you want to try the potty?" RJ,
sweetly replies, "No."
July 27th 2010
I love the random things that RJ will walk into the living room with.
Today it is 4 bottles of formula that he has neatly placed on his lego
table.
July 31st 2010
My sweet child just locked me out of the house. I walked out to let
one of the animals back in the yard and turn around to find RJ
standing at the storm door, I try to open it and it is LOCKED! I had
to break into my own house. Is it too early to start drinking?
August 19th 2010
RJ thinks to himself, "Hmmmm, what would be a
good snack? I know the tip off a green marker. Tasty." He actually bit
the entire tip off of the marker...and I cannot find it now.
August 20th 2010
I bought new markers and RJ sat down to color and like a magnet the
green one went into his mouth. WTF?!
August 21st 2010
You know what is awesome, when you turn around and your 1 year old is
feeding your 5 month old rocks.
September 3rd 2010
I found RJ passed out on the floor when I walked in to pick him up
from daycare...apparently he played pretty hard.
September 15th 2010
"RJ, are you pooping?" Blank stare. "RJ, do you think you should sit
on the potty?" Matter of factly, "No."
September 24th 2010
I came home from school today to find RJ barefoot (normal) and his
feet were covered in red marker. The best part is that this all
happened on my mom's watch.
October 7th 2010
"I nice, mommy. I nice." "Yes, RJ. It is nice that you are pushing
Lily in the swing, but maybe you should not push her face."
October 9th 2010
Earlier RJ was chewing on something and when I did a little
investigating I found that it was a marshmallow that had been glued to
his art project. He has since eaten 2 more of them.
October 20th 2010
RJ just made Lily cry, so of course he starts crying, then Lily sees
RJ crying so she stops crying and starts laughing.
October 22nd 2010
Flight to NYC was perfect, minus the fact that right after we made it
though security RJ was soaking wet. Got his diaper changed and had not
packed a change of pants for him so he was touring the airport without
pants. Made quite a few people laugh.
October 24th 2010
RJ disappeared and Shannon could hear him at the landing in my
parents house. He was quietly talking to himself and then something
would come bouncing down the steps. He was pulling off the fake grapes
from the fruit arrangement and would toss them one at a time down the
steps. My mom is now putting them back on their vine, one by one.
October 25th 2010
RJ had a wart on his finger and Shannon and I talked about taking him
to the doctor to get it removed. Shannon said to me the other day,
"Did you see RJ's finger since I had the wart removed?" I looked at
his finger and it was evident that he had gnawed off the wart. Well,
that saved us some money -- but seriously gross.
October 27th 2010
Lily just sneezed and RJ said, "Bless you, Lily. Bless you, Lily."
October 27th 2010
Me - "RJ do you like dinner?" RJ - "Yes. You like it? You like it?"
Me - "Yes, I like it." RJ - "Yay!"
October 31st 2010
We are outside putting the final touches on the chicken house and RJ
holds something up to show us. Me, "Put it down. That's goat poop!"
November 3rd 2010
I picked RJ up from daycare the other day and the girls said that he
was really loud. Yes, he is, and he is starting to lose his voice
because of his boisterous vocals.
November 5th 2010
Last night: RJ - "Daddy" Shannon does not respond. RJ - "Daddy!" Still
no response. RJ - "Daddy! Shannon!" I want beer, Shannon."
November 7th 2010
Lily is going to be flat like a pancake by the time she is one if RJ
keeps laying on top of her.
November 8th 2010
RJ was just crying to have his shoes off --- then he wanted a
different pair on --- more tears --- I cannot even understand what he
wants now --- more tears --- man is he moody today.
-He just said something about a marker and burst into tears.
-No longer crying -- he now has his socks on his hands and is very content drinking his milk.
November 24th 2010
Not sure what the deal is lately when picking the kids up from daycare
-- the other day RJ was without pants, the day after Lily was without
a shirt (she pooped through the extra clothes), and yesterday RJ had
taken his shoes and socks off so I carried him to the car.
December 3rd 2010
RJ was standing in front of the Christmas tree talking. We went to see
what he was doing and he had a few of the ornaments "talking" to each
other.
December 4th 2010
Me: "RJ, it looks like Lily would like to eat your Hershey Kiss." RJ
takes the kiss and shoves it in Lily's mouth. I quickly took it out
and RJ grabbed the kiss and ate it himself.December 5th 2010
I put 2 Hershey Kisses in RJ's pocket the other day before dropping
him at daycare. Once we got there, he crammed his chubby little hand
in and pulled them both out --- he set one on the counter for the girl
who was working and kept the other one for himself --- :)
December 5th 2010
Just bought RJ a sled. Put it on the ground so we could open the trunk
and he immediately went over sat in it, pointed in front of him, and
said, "Lily, sit."
December 11th 2010
We have been working on a jigsaw puzzle and lose the pieces on the rug
at times. Lily is great at finding them and eating them, RJ then pulls
them out of her mouth and then we have soggy, colorless pieces.
December 14th 2010
The jigsaw puzzle was probably 85% together and we looked over to see
RJ sitting at the table "putting it together" and about thirty seconds later
and it was all on the floor.
December 18th 2010
I just asked RJ to look at me. He turned his head to face me and
closed his eyes. Little turd.
December 20th 2010
Lily is a big pointer now. Her newest move when she is happy is to
throw both hands up in the air and point skyward. "Superstar!"
December 26th 2010
We finished a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with 997 pieces. Still have not
found the other 3, surprisingly they have not been in Lily's diaper.
December 27th 2010
I just turned around and asked Shannon where Lily was --- she was
on the third step up the staircase. Parenting at its finest.
December 27th 2010
RJ has superb diction. I messed up and said, "Oh, f--k." Immediately
he said it with the perfect "F" and "K" sounds...he will not be
misunderstood.
December 28th 2010
When RJ first started hearing the word "no" he would put his head down
and cry. Lily is now hearing "no" for the first time and she either
collapses with her head to the floor or sits and looks at you with her
big eyes, silently.
RJ: "Baby, baby." Lily (thought bubble) : "Shit, here comes my brother
again. What is he gonna do to me this time?"
