Here we Come!

Jackson can make me laugh and smile sometimes with the things he says!

Today we were on our way to Auntie Laura's and as we were pulling in the driveway of her house. Jackson yells from the backseat.

"Hey it's Auntie Laura's House! Auntie Laura's house here we come!

It was so funny and cute! Had me chuckling for the whole day!

Accident at the Library!

Today we decided to visit Ms. Lisa at the Early Years Center run out of G.L Armstrong. We unfortunately got there late so the kids didn't really get to play but we were able to join in for family tales and tunes. I was a little worried that Jackson would freak and not want to stay and sing but he actually quite enjoyed it. I think it helped that Evan was there so he had a friend to sit with.
Spencer loved listening to everyone sing as he crawled around visiting with everyone. 

So I decided afterwards that I would take the kids over to the library to pick out some new books and to let Jackson get some play time in as he missed it over at the OEYC. We get into the library and I let him run ahead while I return some books and also grab a book for myself. I finally get to the back of the library to the kids section and low and behold what do I see but a bare bum that belongs to my son! Jackson has peed his pants and decided to take them off so he can continue to play on the computer! I rush over and ask what happened and he nonchalantly tells me he's peed his pants or in his words "me peed" Did he ever! There was a puddle on the carpet, his pants were just dripping wet and so were his shoes.Well because I was only running into the library for a quick minute, guess where my diaper bag was? You got it, in the car! Well poor Spencer is asleep in the car seat so I have to ask a nice mom who was playing with her son at the train table if she could keep on eye on my sleeping baby while I rush out to the car to get dry clothes for Jackson. So off I head out of the library but guess who wants to follow; JACKSON. He goes racing out of the library bare bum and all as we reach the door he beats me out of it and in doing so he jumps out right in front of a little old lady and her walker shocking and surprising her all at once! (I don't think she expected to see a half naked boy come barrelling out of the library on her trip down the street). I apologise for my son, head to the car and get some dry clothes and all is well. So back into the library we go for run two!
Ah the life of having a potty training toddler!

So here I am again apologizing for not writing. This is definitely something that needs to stop! I need to write on a more consistent basis and I will, this time no excuses. It must be done.

Let's see if I can get you caught up on what's going on with the boys.

Spencer is now 9 months old and I can't believe it. He's crawling and standing and moving around pretty good. He is such a funny little baby. I love every minute of the day I have with him, he makes me smile and laugh and really shows me what life as a mom is all about.

Jackson is 3 now, and we have our days in regards to listening and following instructions but for the most part he is a joy to be around. Just the things he says and does make me howl. I catch myself asking if he was 'born in a barn' because of some of the things he does. He is out of diapers now and it only took a year!

We've had a great couple of days with the weather being really warm. Friday we went to the park and played. Spencer got to sit on the grass for the first time which he didn't really care for so he kept to the blanket.

Saturday we heading to the University of Guelph's College Royale Open House. Always a good time there. Jackson got to operate on Curious George at the Teddy Bear Surgery. He also got to try his hand at juggling and play nerf gun wars which he had a blast at both.

Today he got to go see The Lorax with Daddy at the movie theater which he told me was a lot of fun. After that we enjoyed most of the day outside in the backyard. Jackson helped clean up all the leaves which he thought was great. He also got to go worm hunting, a very fun game for him to play.
