who is this girl?

Start praying for us now...Scarlett is a full-blown teenager at 1.5 years old.
In my head I keep saying maybe if she's like this now..when she actually is a teenager it won't be so bad. Well, from what I'm hearing from other moms of girls, this is common, and no it won't be likely that she'll be a 'different' teenager. I know that consistency is key, but when this child cries, er scratch that throws an awful it, I must persevere and do what I know is right, and not convenient. I do know that this little girl can love so greatly and cuddle so lovely, and kiss so sweetly.

I bwoke it

At the park, James finds a rolly polly, (pill bug). He really likes these things, they will crawl up and down his arm, and he says, "it tickles!"

While playing with one it rolls up into a little ball. Well James wants to 'help' open it up. So he does and it gets ripped in half. I watch him look at the halves in both hands, and he says, "Momma I bwoke duh wolly polly."
I said, "oh yeah buddy you sure did, lets try to be careful with them ok?"
"ok momma."

James' birthday present to himself

3 year old, flip flops and concrete=ouch!

A First

At James' 3 year old check-up today, we encountered a vision test, a hearing test and a flashing.
Yes, thats right, I said flashing. I still can't believe it, and I was there!
The Dr. was going through a round of questions for him, "Does he like his baby sister?" "can you draw a circle?" "what's your favorite color?"
She asked one final question, "Are you a boy or a girl?" James looks at the Dr., "I'm James."
She says, "I know you're James but I want to know if you're a boy or a girl." He then proceeds to pull down the front of his underwear showing her....with a fright I quickly pull up his underwear....giggling the Dr, sweetly says, "I know that you are a boy, I just wanted you to tell me." She looks at me and says,"I know laughing will provoke this, but that is very funny." I laughed and agreed, muttering something about boys.
But OH BOY!
on a much minor note..he had his first ear infection too.

3 quick years
