A Little of This...A Little of That











Checking in after a long break! Not a whole lot is new with the boys. But just FYI ~ I feel like the 3s has been pretty challenging and extra busy. I think I'm about ready to see what the 4s are like; I've heard that they are better/easier? Who knows... but I'm dragging lately with these boys not listening. Right now Ashley and I have two cute non-listeners. I feel like some days I should be in "opposite world"... as in do exactly the opposite of what I am telling you. I'm still sane for now (for now).

Holden still brings up Gracie. He misses her. He is my sensitive boy. The other night Ashley was reading a book about wishes; he asked each boy what his one wish would be. It made me a little sad that Holden said he would wish Gracie back. What a sweet boy.
On a funny note... the boys were taking a bath the other night and luckily Ashley heard Branson tell Holden to back up, because he was about to drop a BM right there in the bathtub!! Gross. Ashley got him out in time to sit on the potty and explained that we don't ever go #2 in the tub. Sheesh - boys!
Even as aggravating as Branson and Holden can be sometimes (I know, hard to believe they could ever be pains in the arse) they still surprise and impress me when I don't expect it. We went to the dentist the other day and they were amazing. They were so well-behaved and actually enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect from them, but was optimistic (okay - hopeful is more like it). After the appointment, I was buckling Branson in his car seat and he said "Mommy, I like the dentist... I'm coming back here AGAIN". Gotta love it. Really, I'm sitting here thinking about it, I shouldn't be surprised... they love going to the pediatrician too. Strange... I'll just be thankful about it and hope it lasts.
