Nasty!!

Here are a few things that happened recently:

Dirty tub: 
A couple of days ago I was giving the kids a bath, I took Alexis out of the tub, and was getting her dressed, when I heard a splash. I ran back into the bathroom to find the floor covered in water, thank you West. It took me five towels to clean up all of the water. After I cleaned up the water I went back to finish dressing Alexis, and Jack yells "Mom, West just pooped in the tub." I had already cleaned one of his poopy diapers, before he got in the tub, so I was thinking that it would not be too awful, but boy was I wrong. It was horrid! Jack's reaction was quite funny though. Jack stood up on his tip toes and said, "This is a bad reality, this is a bad reality." I think that Jack's reaction is the only reason I did not lose it!

Jack's Temper:
Monday I asked Jack to put his socks and shoes on, so that he could get ready for the bus. On his first attempt his toe got stuck, and he thought he was going to die, he started screaming, "I can't do it, mom do it for me." I told him that he needed to calm down by taking a deep breath, and try again. Well that did not work, he went crazy. I tried to ignore him, because when he gets like that, there is nothing I can do to calm him down. After about 5 minutes, he said, "Mom you know that picture on the wall of you and dad? Well you look really bad in it, you don't look nice at all." I took a deep breath and sent him to his room to cool down, Man he is four, where does he come up with this stuff?  Needless to say he screamed and cried for a good twenty minutes.

At least Alexis is calm!

First day of Pre-K

 

Three weeks ago Jack qualified for a pre-k program through the alpine school district, Monday was his first day of class. He will go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:20-3:30, and he gets to ride the bus. The bus comes to our door to pick him up and drop him off, which is a huge help! He loves school, and it is a LOT quieter at home without him.

Aaron gave him a blessing Monday morning, it was such a sweet blessing, and of course I cried. Luckily I cried enough that morning, that I did not cry when I dropped him off for his first day. He loved school so much, that this morning, when he was angry, he yelled "I don't like being at home, I only like school." What a toot! It has been a little bit of an adjustment for West, he walks around the house asking for Jack, but he also likes the one on one attention that it gives him.

 

West also started a transition class today. It is every Wednesday from 11:30 till 1. This gives him a chance to play with other kids, while I am not there. He has had a very hard time lately when I leave his line of vision. He cries and cries during nursery, and follows me around the house like a sad little puppy dog. I must say it was so nice today having Jack and West at school. It was just this cutie: 

and I, for about an hour and a half. The house was so quiet, and no one was crying or fighting, it was AMAZING!!!

Super hero

Aaron: "West who is your favorite superhero?"
West: "Mom!"
Aaron: "What is her super power?"
West: "Eating"

It is a good thing he is so young, or I might have given him a whopping!!
