Oops Katelyn

Yes, it happened here....Can you believe it.  Katelyn has a habit of playing with a choo choo train and putting it to her hair.  Well Today we couldn't get to her in time and we couldn't remove her hair with out you guessed it..CHOP CHOP...

Well it must have been a scissor cutting night but not to worry, Nathan can fix it

The End

Like Mother, Like Son

Or should I say Like Father,

In this case I am a little confused.  A little of both if you ask me.

As I was picking up K's room,,, umm does it seem like I am always picking up and cleaning?  You moms KNOW.

Well, I was in Katelyn's room, when I heard, "Get out of my room", "Get out of my room right this minute, I don't want you in my room," Sound familiar?  It did to me.  I walked over there to see why Nathan was acting like MOMMY,  Well apparently Nathan had set up his room into an office.  He had placed his sofa chair in front of his desk, brought his computer over and according to him he was working before Katelyn pinched him.  Now that sounds like somebody else I know,  Any guesses.  It reminds me of the other adult in this house, who shall remain nameless since I am not allowed to make reference to him on this blog, we will call him/her anonymous.

I went over to his room, took K out of the room,  a little short time later I returned, with Katelyn. I left,  they both had a little break from each other.

 A few minutes later all I heard was, " Katelyn out of my office, Mom get Katelyn out of my office, please,"  "Mommy I don't see you, are you going to come Please Please."

I go back to his room, and asked Nathan,  "Can I ask why Katelyn can't play in here?  "Because she is going to mess up these papers, and I can't work."

What exactly, he is working on is still unknown.  I took Katelyn out again, and told her I would let her play with my phone instead.  Who comes into my room with his computer,,,umm Nathan..

As much as his sister gets on his nerves, he still chases her and me.

So back to the Like Mother, Like Son.  I take a lot of credit for Nathan's personality but I think in this case, he was really channeling the other half as well.

So as I sit here typing away, Miss K sitting almost on my lap, with her computer on her lap typing away.  It's hilarious........ Like Mother, Like Daughter........

Mornings, Schools, ETC

Ahhh talk about a morning.  You know I figured since time change, Nathan would actually sleep in more  kind of like I do) but the answer is NO.  He actually wakes up earlier.  This specific morning at 0621 am.  AHHHHH.

"Nathan, can you go back to your room and sleep, play read, watch t.v, etc".  Sure, he returns back to his room, twenty to thirty minutes later he comes back in, all dressed and ready to go.  May I mention with his dress sweater, put on backwards and dress shoes.  He says, "Mommy, hurry up get ready, I am going to be late for school."

Seriously, you are going to be late for school.  What I am really thinking is the the following , "Who is telling you, you are late for school?"  Nathan replies, "Jacques." 

"well you tell Jacques not to worry what time you get to school, you're in Pre school."

Just as we finish the conversation, Nathan could hear Katelyn awake in her room.  "Mommy Katelyn is awake"

AHHHHH, more drama.  I am a firm believer in divide and conquer, I get more accomplished and faster.  Nathan asked if he can go into her room.  I told Nathan, "Go play with Katelyn, while I get ready.  Make sure you don't NOT COME IN MY ROOM while I get ready."  Like I said faster.

I start to get ready, just as I was almost done, here they come, yelling, crying , winning, running..  Ahhhh too early for this commotion.

It started to go South, in about two minutes, I start yelling.  Nathan, looks at me and asked me, "Mommy why are you yelling at Katelyn?"  As I am trying to get over the fact that he just checked because really I can't even remember as I write this why I was yelling.

I replied, "Because I told you not to let Katelyn in my room, I didn't want you guys in here until I was ready, and I am really upset at the fact that you come into my room early in the morning and woke me up, I don't go in your room and wake you up, I let you sleep in, Mommy and Katelyn like to sleep"   

WHOA, 


I really do not like to be woken up, none the less we got through the morning.  We had a good breakfast and even though we were 45 minutes ahead of our schedule, Katelyn and Nathan played.  I cleaned my house, wash the dishes, swept, took out the trash etc.  I was happy my house was clean.

On our way to school, I needed to stop by the local elementary school to confirm registration for Kinder, (for the 10th time).

So that strikes up a conversation with Nathan.  He asked, "Mommy what is this school?  I told him it's an elementary.  "Mommy how many kinds of schools are there?  I reply, "well there is elementary, junior high school, high school and college."  Nathan replies, "WHOA, there are a lot of schools in the world."

Well I hope he gets the point because he has a long way to go.

Baseball Player

Well Nathan's season for winter ball is over, which brings me to the following:

"Mommy, I am a baseball player and I am not afraid of the boogie man, bad guys or cholos, because I can punch them and I  can kick them."


Nathan may not be afraid of the above, but THUNDER had him going.

Diced Cheese

Lately, I've been catching Nathan in little lies, but his mouth might be moving, it doesn't mean I usually believe what comes out of it.

Nathan asked for a snack after dinner.  I found these little snack packs with diced cheese, pretzels, carrots and grapes.

Immediately Nathan says, "No No I don't want diced cheese, I am allergic to diced cheese."  This is the second time I have heard him say that and not really sure where it started from.  Since I know he is not allergic to diced cheese.

I gave Katelyn half of the snack pack.  Both start munching down on goodies.  Nathan made a comment about how he was not going to eat the cheese.  I gave him that look that suggested he better eat everything.

I got distracted a little, not by much because I was still only three feet away from Nathan and Katelyn.  I saw that Nathan snack box was all empty.  I asked Nathan if he ate everything including the dice cheese.  Nathan said, "YES."

UMMM, something was not right, 

I asked Nathan, "Nathan did you eat the cheese or did you give it to Katelyn?"  He replies, "I ate it,"  But like every other time his face cannot keep up with the lies he says.  I asked him, "Nathan, did you put your cheese in Katelyn's bowl ?" Nathan starts laughing.  Which tells me he was trying to sneak his diced cheese into his sister's bowl.

Rushing to become a teenager

So far there has been a lot of talk about teenagers in this household.

This morning, Nathan woke up and got ready, he looked at himself in the mirror and said, "Look mommy I am as tall as the sink now,  I am like a Teenager."

I replied, "Yes you are getting bigger but not a teenager yet." He looked at me in disbelief.

Later that morning, I reminded him it was pajama day at school, and suggested he wear his pajamas.  Once again he looked at me like if I was crazy.  Let me guess, a teenager wouldn't be caught dead wearing pajamas at school right.

During breakfast I asked Nathan, "Why do you want to be a teenager?"  "What is wrong with being Nathan now?" He looked at me with those big brown eyes, confused...For the first time Nathan was Speechless.

I guess there is nothing wrong with being 4year old Nathan,,, ENJOY

A little help in here

As we were getting up a few mornings ago.  Nathan comes inside our room, we start to get ready and in order to distract Nathan I asked him to get Katelyn from her room.

I've noticed this is a treat for him, he feels like the big brother and in complete control.

I sent him to her room, as he runs there, he is saying,  "No daddy, I am going to go, I am the big brother."

I hear him open her bedroom door, and start to yell like the world was coming to an end.  Apparently Katelyn emptied out her drawers, attempted to take her diaper off.  Nathan begins to scream, "A little help in here, hello A little help in here...."

If we didn't know any better, well we do.  Brian tells me, " He sounds just like you, that is something you would say."
