That being said, I have realized in the past year how much I truly love my family. I am overcome with emotion each and every night when they love me unconditionally and want to cuddle with me, when they give me that smile, that hug, that I love you. I honestly don't know what I would do with out the three of them. I never imagined this life in a million years before we had kids, and I couldn't ever imagine letting it go now that it's mine today.
That being said, on to a few stories. :)
Sam Man has finally decided that he might want to start potty training. I mean, why not, he's 3 now, might as well start trying. :) Well, being 3 and the fact that we bribed him every single day with Chuck E Cheese if he went number two on the potty. Sam thought a number two meant that he could sit on the toilet with a red face and veins popping out of his forehead until something finally managed to come out. A few times of this and constant explaining finally had him in the bathroom when the time was right. :D He went poo poo on the potty without anyone asking him to go! Yay Sam Man!!! We are on the road to two children out of diapers and starting the next chapter of our lives. I can't imagine what that might bring, but both Matt and I will be happy when we don't have any more diapers in this house!
While at Chuck E Cheese, Adri made friends with a few of the other girls playing. It's funny how children make friends. Apparently they ask each other "do you want to be my friend" (or at least this is Adri's version), and if the other says yes, they can be friends. Sometimes they say they don't want to be friends right now, which to me would mean to walk away from them. Apparently to Adri that just means you try again later. I love her persistence!!!
While there, another girl lost all her tokens and ran crying to her mom. Adri picked them all up and ran over to the girl and returned every last one of them! I can't begin to say what a proud Mommy moment I had right then! I felt like I had actually done something right in my continuous nagging (or so it seems) at home. It's funny how the very smallest of actions from your children can make your heart completely swell with pride and love.
Over the last couple of days Adri has asked me to come outside and play with her at night. She always ends the sentence with "and bring your camera so you can take pictures of me!" :) I'm not sure if this add on is because she actually wants me to take pictures or because she knows how much I love taking pictures of her and Sam and so she wants me to have fun too, but I always bring my camera. Here are the pictures I have taken of my two baby dolls in the past two days. Just try to tell me after looking at these pictures that you don't want to be a kid again. :)
Their feet are almost the same size!!!
Adri's going to be so sorry when Sam's a little bigger!
Look Mom, it's a plane!
Mmmm, homemade Kool-aide popsicles. Remember those?
Even with those dirty feet on him, Sam's still having fun! :)
Aggghhh! It's a bee!!!
Adri-ism: Mom, I've got a present for you! Close your eyes! <kisses me> Do you love it? Is it the best present ever???!!!
Mom, I love you more than I love my Stinky! (her baby blanket)
Mom, I made you a picture, will you hang it up at work so everyone in your class can look at it?
Sam-ism: I love you, Mama! <gives me a huge hug>
Mama, you cuddle with me?
Mama, what means Jesus?
