Today Gracie wants to purchase everything under the sun at Joann Fabrics, pumpkins, eye lashes, spools of thread, yarn because cats like yarn (we don't have a cat) every roll of fabric she touched because it's oh so pretty, finally as we're leaving I let her get a piece of candy.
Tonight at dinner she tells us very polite but matter of fact "You guys want your own ways. Daddy wants his own way and mommy wants her way." I ask, "What do you mean?"
She says "Well I wanted to buy LOTS of things today and you just don't want to buy ANYTHING!" me - "If we purchased everything you saw & liked we wouldn't have a house to live in!"
She loves her brother so much...
...gives him puppy kisses now which is huge! Hugs him like crazy and started pulling him up off the floor by his onesie, yikes! Four year olds, you gotta watch them, still too young for some things but old enough to think they are old enough to do things. The latest, the other night he was sitting on our bed, she was throwing my clothes all around him in a pile, then doing cannon balls on top of the clothes in front of him, he's screaming hysterically in laughter at her, with huge eyes thinking she is THE coolest sister EVER! It was hilarious, the more she did it the more he laughed & squealed. I had the best time watching them.
She plays hide & seek behind the couch and he waits for her with huge eyes with great anticipation.
EVERY time she jumps he jumps & jerks and his whole body tweaks, and he has the HUGEST smile and bright eyes just beaming at her. The SWEETEST thing to watch.
He never gets dull or bored of her doing this, just screams & laughs every time she pops up. She roars at him all the time now, he almost wants to cry in panic but then realizes it's her and then it's okay, he accepts it from her, so then he laughs and is fine, if it came from anyone else I know he'd cry because it scares the pee out of him every time I'm sure!
He is THE cuddliest, loviest baby.
I can't believe, he grabs my hair and pulls me to his face, his mouth wide open lunging forward at me and getting his goo all over my cheeks, mouth, whatever he can kiss, it is so stinkn' adorable. I know he gives me kisses because when I was sick last week and wouldn't kiss him, he literally after two attempts to lunge forward with an open mouth and I moved so he'd plant one on my cheek, he started crying and getting fussy and then wouldn't nurse. WOW! And a few days ago I asked him to give mama a kiss and he went right for me & opened his mouth every time. I tell him to give sissy a kiss and he goes for her and of course she freaks and covers herself, but now she'll sort of let him if we get her cornered somewhere, oh he loves to give her kisses, he is so passionate and affectionate.
LOVES to be gotten by daddy! Oh my goodness, the best laughs come from daddy tickles.
But watch out when he's hungry or wants something, he cries, pitches a fit and gets angry. And the way he says MAMA when he's upset, he means now! He's not messn' around. I start to visualize a teenager in the house upset, Mom! Yikes, not good. But it's okay when he's a baby. Cracks me up.
He's rolling over both ways, sitting up so good. Eating puffs & whatever else he can get his hands on really well, feeding himself.
He doesn't want any baby food or homemade baby food, it's delicious, but he wants everything cooked & cut up into pieces. So he eats whole black beans, avocados, cheerios, bread, has had pizza crust a few times, spanish rice, beef & chicken shredded, graham crackers, nectarine and pears, bananas not so crazy about but tolerates, loves little pancakes. He's in charge, he likes to hold something or feed himself.
Chipotle is a great fit!
