Jackson's song

This is a song I made up for Jackson yesterday when he was being a turkey butt. 

"I love you, I love you, even when You're ugly, and even when you are not nice.
I love you, I love you , even when you're nasty and even when you throw a fit.
But I love you more, when you are happy and when you are gentle and kind, and I love you most when you are obedient but I love you all the time."

It's been forever

I am sitting in a service, truthfully not terribly interested in listening to what is being said. So I thought I should maybe do something productive and write about the kids. 

Wow! They are slouch work and so ugh fun right now. Emma is more the ever a spit fire. She is very interested in dollies all of a sudden. She wants to sleep with them, drag them along to child care and have them by at all times.  She is also talking a lot. The other day Dan said he was tired and she said, "Daddy, nap?"  She likes to snuggle down in his bed saying, "Bubba bed, me!" When I am giving Jack something she says, "and me!" 

Of course she is also a little terror, always wanting her way and throwing a fit when I don't let her do or have something. But on the whole, she is sweet and funny and she makes me laugh. She definitely has a gift of friendliness and the ability to engage people.  




Jackson. Oh my Jackson boy. He is definitely being a handful! But he is a delightful boy. He plays so well by himself; building train tracks, bridges, animal fence, or a barn full of hay or make long lines of cars on the road that I made for him on his floor. 

He does have a great sense of humor that usually makes me laugh just as much as him. His newest thing is to make a "toilet tongue". Which is a piece of toilet paper trailing from the lid. Of the potty down to the floor. Then he flushes it. It's really funny. :) 
His very inventive with what he comes up with. He still likes me to make up songs and stories. And now he really likes to be read too, which is all to the good. 
All in all we are doing well and having fun with each other, though of course there are daily battles for listening and being obedient. 

He is also I the middle of potty training through the night. I am really looking forward to having that over with!
