Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down

Ok, so my post yesterday ended up proving me wrong. I finished writing that post, in the office. Zach was just outside the office, in the den, playing on his slide (Yes, he has a slide in the den. It lasts longer and can be played on more inside lol) I posted, talked to Jon in the office for a few, and walked out. No, he wasn't playing on the slide anymore... he was playing.... IN... the FIREPLACE! Yes, covered in ashes. So, I took him, clothes and all, and put him in the SECOND bath of the day... or "GA" as he calls it. I just hope he doesn't realize anytime soon that if he does something really messy, that means he can get a bath. This boy definitely keeps me on my toes.

Today was nice. We went grocery shopping this morning, Jon included. He's working tonight, all night, so he had the morning off. As we're standing in line to checkout, Jon's holding Hannah in front of Zach. Next thing we know, she's crying, and he is too... why? Because he bit her foot!!!! :-O And then her crying and Jon flicking him in the mouth for it, upset him. But then, we came home, and she was lying on the floor on her play gym and he was playing with her... he handed her the hanging toy so she could hold it... then he handed her a rattle and rubbed her head. When she was lying on her belly, he got down on his belly in front of her and showed her how to drive his little car (because you  know girls so want to know how to drive cars!) When she went to bed, he said "Night night" and kissed her head. Those sweet moments are the ones I love. Oh, and the one from last night. He took his stuffed bear and dog (or maybe it was the stuffed wolf?? I don't remember, he loves them all) and put them in Hannah's swing and turned it on, then pushed them while swaying back and forth himself and "singing" to them. He loves his stuffed animals and will go around hugging them and kissing them. Kids are so smart at picking things up! And a while ago, I use to tell him every morning after getting dressed I needed a hug and a kiss, now he almost always just does it on his own. And he'll point to Jesus in our house and say "-esus" (or something like that) and he'll even wave goodnight to Jesus. 19 months is such a fun age, that's for sure!

Another great story, this one about Hannah...I had her lying on her play gym, on her back, head facing the tv..I came back in the living room from doing something else and she was lying parallel to the tv... and a few minutes later, she somehow had her feet facing the tv! She can do a complete 180, but can't roll over! All the other girls her age are rolling over, but nope, not her! Her other new thing is she scoots in her bed, in her sleep. Literally every hour to hour and a half last night, she would wake up crying because she would be stuck in the corner. I'm praying this doesn't continue because I can't keep getting up every hour to hour and a half just to remove her.

Anyway, the diapers are done washing... Which reminds me, I got more cloth diapers, wahoo! No, I'm not going green... I'm going "Save $$$!" because diapers for two, even the cheap Walmart ones, were costing us $50+/month. But I got some really cute ones this time. I'll post pictures eventually...maybe. So, diapers are done, Jon's working tonight, and the kids and I are going to a huge church garage sale early tomorrow morning... in other words, I'm out... like the light soon will be!

Much love,
Aimee
