Ayden and Yellow Bear

Ayden sleeps with "Yellow Bear". Has since he was 6 wks old. Usually, it stays in his crib. But, sometimes he brings it out, and it gets lost somewhere in the house. And, when it's time for bed again, everyone helps search for yellow bear. Yesterday was one such evening. Yellow bear was lost and we were all searching. I asked Ayden "where's yellow bear?" He was standing by the bookcase looking up. Finally, I stopped to notice what he was looking at. Yellow bear was on the shelf. He smiled. He had found it himself, And he seemed very proud.
Right now, he's briging me diapers and wipes. I think that he's saying he needs a diaper change.

Mid-night Snack

Last night, Dyllen woke up at 1:30 am. It's been forever since he's been up in the middle of the night. He woke me out of a sound sleep, and I was very disappointed. I had to make him a bottle. Hate feeding bottles at night. I miss nursing.
Dyllen has congestion in his throat. He woke up cuz he was coughing. I waited to see if he'd go back to sleep, but, he didn't. He started screaming, and he woke Ayden.
So, we were all up.
I'm very tired.
And, I have a lot to do today, to get ready for my weekend w/ Andrew. I want to get my hair cut. And I need to clean up around here, so the babysitter isn't grossed out.
Ayden is being snugli at the moment. He's watcing me type. Dyllen has crawled under the coffee table. Speaking of coffee.. I need some.
Made meatloaf last night. I made it with 2 eggs. some ketchsup. and taco seasoning. They liked it. I also make a white cake which I drizzled with an icing that I'd made with a lime and about a 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.

No!

I'm constantly telling Ayden "No!" He's always getting into stuff. Right now, he's brushing his hair with a paint brush that he found. Go figure...
Ayden is coming down the stairs frontwards, now. He used to turn aound backwards and slide down, feet first, on his tummy. I should have gotten video of it, but, I didn't.
Dyllen has two teeth. He is manuvering all over the floor these days. He has a cough. We are going to the Dr. today. I'm pretty sur that it's just teeth.
Last night, when I put Dyllen to bed, he coo-ed and chattered to himself before he went to sleep. He sounded so sweet, I wanted to get him up and hold him and love on him. But, I didn't. I knew it might have ill effects on his bedtime routine.
Mandy is busy at school. She stays after each night this week. ROTC.
Krys has been practicing his trumpet.
Andrew and I are having our anniversery weekend this weekend. 17 years of marriage on Aug. 19. Can't wait! Not sure where we are going. It's Andrew's surprise.

Arrested

Yesterday, I called Andrew and asked him to pick up some milk. Later I got a call, and the caller id read "Kennesaw City Jail". Puzzled, I almost didn't pick up. But, I did. I was surprised to hear Andrew's voice on the line. He had been arrested for speeding. 57 in a 25. Ouch! He was lost, in down town Kennesaw, coming home from golfing. He didn't realize the speed limit was so low. Live and learn.
It's so funny. He's usually such a stickler about abiding by the speed limit. He drives me crazy when he says "watch your speed."
I shutter to think what this will do to our insurance.
When I called the bail boundsmen, I was laughing when I said "I need someone to bail my husband out of jail."
It's always something....

Dyllen is cranky. He doesn't want me to put him down. So, I'm sitting here on the couch, he's in his bouncer on the coffee table, I've put my on the table. Holding my toes seems to make him feel better.

2nd Day of School

Yesterday went well. Had lots of forms to fill out last night. Hate that. They've all gone off to school for their 2nd day. Krys is still at the bus stop. Babies r still in bed.
I'm not leaving the house today, except maybe to go to the gym.
Have got to clean up downstairs. It's a mess after our remodel last week.

School Today

The last bus just left, Krys was on it. The girls headed out earlier. The baby boys aren't awake yet. I'm sitting on my porch, again, enjoying a few minutes of solitude.
My prayer, today, is that they find what they need, that they Lord put good people in thier paths, and that they ARE the good people that other parents are praying for in the paths of thier own children.
Dyllen's 6th month photo's today.
Bought formula last night. He goes through it quickly.

Back To School

Took Kym to her open house, at the school, on Thursday. Gone is the little girl who used to cling to me, and was afraid to speak to anyone. She has been replaced with a confident 6Th grader, who roams the halls like she owns the place. She knows where to go, and what to do. She greets her friends warmly, and asks which teacher they got. And, I am left to sit, alone, in her homeroom desk, filling out paper work. As I reflect on the years that have passed so quickly, I try hard to hide the tears running down my cheeks.
