No!

K and T had a pretty good day today, T slept most of the day and was starting to make me worry! Around lunch time K was getting antsy and I told him I was going to go make lunch. He got all excited and asks "Coni!?" "Yes" I tell him "We are having macaroni. But I have to pee first." "NO! Stop! No pee!" he screams, followed by the fall to the floor-type tantrum. Oi.

K has also been into the "testing" himself phase lately. He'll smack his head on the table a few times in a row, then stops to rub the now sore spot and go "Ow...". Well, duh! Today he was playing around, kneeling on the floor. I swear I could see his thought process, like I want to see what happens when I do... this! And flung himself face first into the floor. He jumped up right away and onto the couch with me for cuddles, crying on my shoulder. About a minute later he stopped crying and wiggled out of my arms, leaving snot prints on my shoulder. I noticed the snot prints had some blood in them, but since he wasn't bleeding from anywhere and seemed fine I let it be. I did try to take a look, but he wouldn't let me either so I have no idea what happened exactly, but he's okay.

Vaccinations and Santa's visit

Yesterday we had Tiernan's four month shots. He weighed in at 15 lbs 5 1/2 oz. While we were waiting for him to be weighed, Kenton was running around, meeting new kids that were coming in. He went up to one mom holding her one year old son and told her "Down!". He wanted the boy to come down so he could play with him, lol! By the time we went in for Tiernan's appt, he was getting hungry so of course was quite grumpy to begin with. I pulled out a rather fuzzy Sophie the Giraffe from the diaper bag, wiped her off and let him chew on her while he had his shots. This time he cried the whole time and then cried off and on the rest of the day. Kenton got the better deal, he was quite happy to have a couple of oreos I had in the bag!

Then we drove out to West Ed to do the rest of our Christmas shopping. Both kids were passed out shortly after leaving the clinic so they had a decent nap on the way. We tried to get some shopping for Jon done before he met us there, but only managed a couple of things before he showed up.

After some dinner, we went to go see Santa. It was nice the line-up was short and we got to see him rather quickly. Kenton seemed eager to go see him, when Jon went to take him for a walk while we were waiting, he turned around and came right back. Then of course once we put him on Santa's lap, he freaked out so the whole family ended up in the picture. We weren't planning on it, so Jon and I look awful, but at least the kids are happy! Santa said he has lots of Thomas engines for Kenton!

Kenton and Tiernan's "Fast" days

I'm starting this blog as a way of keeping track of and sharing with others the kids' days, cute and funny and maybe sometimes frustrating moments. The time goes by so fast, I'd like to have a way of coming back to remember those moments!

Let's see, today started out and Kenton and Jon were supposed to go swimming but since we all slept in too late, that didn't happen. Kenton didn't seem to notice as he was all too happy to play in the tub later anyways. So he spent the morning playing with his toys nicely while Tiernan practiced his rolling over on his playmat.

Tiernan's started rice cereal recently since he has been so hungry even after having just eaten. He's been doing pretty good with it, swallowing most of what goes in his mouth and seems to have no troubles with it.

Kenton then spent the afternoon chasing Morris around and has now picked up a new saying "Kitty a- bite!", which probably comes from me repeating endlessly "Kenton, Morris doesn't want to play, he will bite you!". Unfortunately Morris doesn't seem to have the brains or maybe just the will to move to a safer location where Kenton can't get to him so he has taken a few swipes at Kenton. Most of the time this results in Kenton getting scared, coming to me and crying for a bit and then going back to chasing the cat. He's gotten scratched a few times, and one close call but nothing serious... yet. I sure hope one of them smartens up soon. I think if it was warm enough for Morris to be outside at all it wouldn't be so bad, but they've both got cabin fever and are driving each other nuts.

Then while Jon was outside shovelling snow, I got Kenton dressed to go out and sent him out the backyard with Jon to get outside for a bit. About five minutes later they came in cause he wouldn't keep his mittens on and it was too cold for him to be without. Then everyone decided it was better inside and came in for some hot chocolate, cookies and video games!

Later we started to decorate a store bought gingerbread Santa Sleigh kit, but got interrupted by Tiernan waking up. Kenton's help in the decorating consisted of making sure the candies were safe to eat!
