This weekend was good. Didn't do too much. Went to the grocery store Friday and saved 50 bucks! J did so great the whole time in the store. He helped mommy put the foods in the buggy and he would get me whatever I needed. He is such a sweet big helper. He loves helping everyone.Funny note: If J sees where something has spilled in the store, it drives him crazy.He's constantly saying Oh man someone made a mess mommy. I'll clean it up.He then tries to start to clean up the mess. Oh Boy. I have to explain to him that someone will clean it up they just haven't gotten to it just yet. Sometimes this suffices him and sometimes not. I have to make it a point not to go near the "mess" again so he won't start back over again :) It's really quite comical and very sweet. I guess I've taught him well about cleaning. They say he is the best cleaner in his class at school! LOL
Anyone who has kids especially younger ones, knows that by the time you get to the check out line, they are usually done and ready to get out of the store. Well as was the case w/ J. He wasn't being bad at all, just antsy. So a VERY sweet young man who worked at the store came over and said ma'am it looks like you have your hands full, let me help you out. So he loaded my groceries on to the conveyor belt then bagged them and put them in the buggy. Also I forgot to get another box popcorn for my coupons, so he ran over and got me another one. All the while he gets a coloring book and crayons for J to have. Then he pushes my buggy out to the car and packs all my bags in the car while talking to J and entertaining him. Just reminds me that there are still nice people in the world. I hope that my boys are that giving and helpful when they grow up. I'm sure trying to teach them to be that way :) I know this is part of their job but this man went way out of his way to help me. Plus its part of a lot of peoples job to be pleasant and friendly but it hardly ever happens.Sad that i'm shocked when someone actually is.
Saturday we went to 2 grocery stores. I took both boys by myself. Some other stores were running specials and so I just had to get a few things at each. It wasn't bad at all. L just looked around the whole time during the first one and then fell asleep on our way to the second one and stayed asleep the whole time through the second store. It was great! Then we went home and played and then something happened that doesn't EVER happen in my house. It was a huge deal!! Major!!! BOTH boys went down for a nap at the SAME TIME!!!!
It was great. I really should have done some more laundry or cleaned some more house but I figured since it was such a grand occasion that I need to celebrate. I celebrated by laying on the couch and not moving.It was FANTASTIC!!! Then everyone woke up and we played some more until Daddy came home!
Side note for Saturday: I was busy getting everything ready for us to load in the car to go to the grocery stores and I knew J was in the garage and he ran in the house saying mommy come show me (which is mommy i want to show you something) so I go in the garage and he has all the car doors open. he said I opened the door for everybody! How sweet! Have I mentioned how big of a helper he is.
Sunday was good. We got up and played then went to TARGET. It was my goal to hit every store in town this weekend :) So then we came home and played and then IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!! BOTH kids went to SLEEP AT THE SAME TIME!!! So this time I cleaned and did laundry and scrubbed the floors and .... wait no I didn't do anything AGAIN. I sat my pretty little behind on the couch and watched TV :) I was all comfy watching my show when who should walk in but my husband!! He got off early which was nice. We actually had time to TALK and visit w/ each other for a little while before the kiddos woke up.When the kids got up,we got ready and took J to his open house. He is in a new classroom and I'm very excited. It seems promising. There are lots of new things that they are implementing in this classroom which I'm happy about. They are going to potty train!! work on their numbers and ABC's and lots of other very important learning skills! They are going to have book time and music time and lots of new things for the "big kids"! I can't believe my little buddy is growing up. This morning while we were getting ready, I told J he needed to go and get his shoes on. So I was brushing my teeth and J comes running in and says "Look mommy I put my croc-croc's (this is what he calls his croc shoes) on all by myself and I didn't get mad" He was so proud of himself. He sometimes gets frustrated when he can't do things himself and so this is why he said and I didn't get mad. I was so proud of him.
Well not to much else to report. L is still doing his form of crawling. He is such a happy baby. He loves his brother J and loves to be held. He is my little cuddly baby :)We go for his 6 month check up soon!I can't believe he is almost 6 months. CRAZY! He still is eating very good. No teeth yet though. He still sleeps very good at night. He usually gets up once around 3 or so and we feed him and he goes right back to sleep until about 6:30 or 7. Such a great baby. I LOVE my boys!!
I took a picture of J in his new class, but forgot my cord to plug into the computer so i'll either post it tonight or tomorrow.
