Landen and Sydney

I guess I need to post about my kids moments more often. I know I forget so much. I used to keep a journal for them, but that has slipped out of control.

Landen, his is a VERY energetic boy. Sometimes we call him our little psycho. I know that's not very nice. He is a phase, more recently since I have been sick. Since I was sick, I would tell him I couldn't do certain things because I was sick. Well now he tells me he can't do things because his is either sick, or his toe is broken. Don't know where the broken toe thing came from, but it's funny sometimes. He is always taking my cushions off of my couch to "make a gate." He is really into Thomas the train, and trucks with trailers. He loves to watch Dora, Bob the Builder, and Thomas. He is very excited that he can now button his own shirts. Everytime he does it, he tells me "I did it mom, all by myself." So proud of himself. When I ask him what he learned in Sunbeams he tells me he sang songs. The first Sunday he was in Sunbeams I asked him and he said sang songs, make pizza in oven, really hot; made table, and as he was telling me about the table he was making a table with his body, you know getting on all fours and making his back go straight. It was so cute watching him do this. The first two Sunday's he cried for me when I dropped him off. But this last Sunday he didn't. So when church was over all he kept telling me was,"my was a good boy mom. my didn't cry." He is learning so much stuff. He joins my preschool class sometimes. One day we were learning the letter G and I had an extra worksheet so I let him do it and he traced the letter perfectly, even better than some of the preschoolers. I was totally shocked. I guess I need to do better in teaching him things. Maybe since two of my kids dropped out of preschool, I should let Landen join us more often. He sure does have an ATTITUDE. He won't take no for an answer. Lately, when he does something that upsets me, he will say in a sad voice, "sorry mommy." That of course melts my heart and it is hard for me to be mad at him anymore. I'm sure there is so much more to tell about him, but I will go on to Sydney.

Making a gate or this might actually be his slide.

Sydney is my sweet little two year old. Byron really wants to have another girl since Sydney can be so sweet, most of the time anyway. She will always come up and hug your leg or lay her head on you and say love you mommy, or love you daddy. She is learning everything so quick. Sometimes I think she knows almost just as much as Landen. She loves to do puzzles and can usually do them all by herself. She copies EVERYTHING her brother does, good and bad. She follows him around too. Most of the time they play really well together, but then Landen kicks in his older brother syndrome and is mean to her. She loves to help. She will always help put laundry away or pick up her toys. She is so much easier to discipline than Landen. She just seems to listen more and doesn't like going to her room. It's so cute, when I help her say her prayers at night I will say please bless daddy and mommy, Landen and Sydney and she will reapeat what I say but then she will also say baby too. She LOVES her dolly's. She is such a good little mother to them. She will hold them in her arms, rock them in the rocking chair, wrap them up in a blanket, give them kisses, and put them in bed and say shoo, baby sleeping in a really quite voice. She will be such a great big sister. She loves to color, evidence on my walls. She is such a girlie girl. The other day I caught her putting my make up on. Then today she was putting my high heels on. On another note, Sydney had a Dr. appt a few weeks ago and the Dr. wanted me to take her to a Pediatric Optomologist. Poor beautiful little girl is going to have to get glasses I'm sure, and at such a young age.

She found a pacifier and decided she wanted to suck on it. It was so funny. I guess she misses being a baby. I have one of Sherry's bottles at my house and she likes to put water in it and drink from it. Silly girl.

Well that's some of my kids moments for now.
