The other day I was getting Qade ready for bed and it was one of those times where I just found myself laughing hysterically over stuff that really wasn’t funny… happens sometimes. 
Anyway, Qade couldn’t figure out what was funny and kept asking me, “What’s-a matter for you?” Which would of course make me laugh even more. Sometimes I think he must be Italian deep down or something by the way he puts sentences together. 
Myles has been my snuggle bug lately. Almost to the point of being too much, if that’s possible. I’m actually eating it up though because I know it won’t last. I don’t know why he’s been so clingy but many many times a day now he’ll just want “up” in my lap and he nuzzle down and pop in his thumb and we’ll just sit together, or sometimes read a book. A friend of mine told me that when she was expecting her 3rd the other two suddenly wanted more snuggles as well. I can’t imagine that Myles has a concept that something is changing, but I’ll take the extra cuddle time anyway. Qade does frequently talk about the “baby in your tummy” to me, and since he went to the last OB visit with me and heard the baby he sometimes asks, “Does your baby feel better, Mommy?” I think he figured since the baby had to see the doctor it must not have felt good. Cute what their little minds can come up with.
Qade has been mr. thankful recently. Some of his common ones are “Take-you for my wunch (lunch) Mommy” and “Take you for my happy birday, Mommy!” Awww, just melts my heart! One that I NEVER expected to hear popped out a couple of days ago, “Take you for my nap, Mommy!” WOW!!! Where did that come from? Pretty sure I have to practically wrestle him to bed every day for naps…. maybe not physically, but mentally for sure!
Because this week has been a little “off” and our schedules thrown out of whack the lads have had a couple really grumpy mornings. It’s amazing to me how affected they can be by slight changes like that. Not that we have the same ridged schedule every day, but things progress in a usual way in our house. When that gets interrupted more than once, like for church on Sunday, then they start to go a little bonkers. Right now Qade is playing quietly in his room and Myles is occupying himself in the living room. We needed some separate play space today for sure.
Anyway, still brewing that post. I actually think it’s done I just need to write it out. I’ve been thinking about some stuff lately and how things can change quickly on ya. It’s interesting when we watch God work because in our own “perfect timing” sometimes it feels like we wait FOREVER for God to move and then when he suddenly does things seem to happen in a whirl wind, and you come out the other side wondering what in the world happened. I’m not saying that things are happening in a whirl wind for us right now, it’s just a general observation. Still things ARE happening, and I’m thinking about some possibilities for after summer. I’ll keep y’all posted as things progress, no worries. Just pray for God’s will and his timing to be perfect for us. Thanks!
If you have any fool-proof suggestions for how to get the little stinkers to actually “stink” while on the pot, shoot em my way! Qade will talk about it. He’s super excited that once he does finally “go” he get’s a toy, and he tells me that fact frequently. I make him clean up his own messes when he goes in his unders, and he’ll agree quite loudly with me that it’s “gross” and “disgusting” (even though I’m pretty sure he only says the last word because he thinks it sounds cool), but it doesn’t seem to sink in that he could do something else about it. *sigh* Well for now we’re just going to keep talking about where it really goes, and hoping that sometime it’ll happen. I’d really rather not resort to sitting in the bathroom w/ him on the pot for however long it takes listening to him whine the whole time. So, here’s hoping…
