for some reason right now jenny thinks that when she wears Will's camo baseball cap that she is a robot. She'll put it on (backwards) prance around and proclaim with glee "I'm a wobot!!!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i make jenny listen to my music in the car. am i mean or what. no barney sing a long etc for us. don't feel too bad for her, she won the battle on a car DVD player and its bad enough that i have to listen to caillou and clifford episodes. anyway i feel its my responsibility to teach my girl (and now my boy) what classic music is all about. We listen to Alison Kraus, Chicago, the Fray, Alabama, Norah Jones. its a wide variety. she will sing along sometimes, especially to the fray. the best lessons though are just listening to the radio and hearing a good one that way. I will tell her ""oh this one right here is a classic jenny, a real classic-- listen up" and then turn it up so maybe it will soak in her brain.
ANYWAY we were in the car yesterday and i was trying to get her to dance to some elton john. she is back there with fists in the air and feet flying, head going side to side. i am of course driving, but workin my moves with my neck and right arm. i hear "Go Mommy! Go Mommy!" oh yeah my daughter's getting into it. this is great fun! i'm just about to say go mommy it's your birthday when i realize she is saying No Mommy not go mommy. as in ---stop dancing--- you are a dork.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am not sure where jenny got her good manners but the other day in the grocery store troy sneezed and she said Bless You Twoy. And then she tried to poke his eye out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jenny has a friend Andrew. i think she has a crush on him. we were getting ready to go to his house and she said "i gonna hug andwew" about 50 times. then when we were leaving his house she hugs him goodbye and says "oh andwew". when we get home i tell will i think his little girl has a crush. he is like nuh uh--NOT COOL.
i asked jenny "do you like andrew?"
she said "I love him daddy"

the funnies
oh my gosh! i have serious case of blogger's guilt to accompany this huge dry spell on my blog!!!!! i know that you know i'm busy with the rugrats, but still i want to keep up the blog and i make time to check facebook, so dang it, i can make time to blog you know. blogging does require more creative thinking than surfing facebook but anyway.
my new goal is to try for shorter blogs so as to not overwhelm the exhausted brain. brain thinks it must work on blog post for at least 2 hrs. Post becomes novel.
i am going to start posting sometimes little posts about funny kid stuff that has happened. I am stealing this idea from my blog friend jenny. she calls it "seen and heard". since i am a copy cat, i think the least i can do is come up with another catch phrase for my own "seen and heard" entries. haven't thought of it yet. work brain work! til catchy phrase comes to me, we'll call these posts the funnies.
here are some random funnies for you:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jenny has named her first dolly. Rosie. after caillou's sister. yes we watch caillou. jenny LOVES that show. yes i use and abuse that. i know she'll be zoned in for that 30 minutes. so i can do whatever needs to be done. such as couch coma. yes she is getting to be just as whiney as caillou.
she likes for me to take blankie and rig her up a quickie baby wrap to wear Rosie in. then she will parade around house proudly. she will ask "you comftable Wosie?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
troy is messer extraordinaire. he has blasted projectile poop onto our sheets once. (notice it was once--------you know, fool me once shame on you..........) he will get you lickety split with the pee stream. yesterday: onto his curtains and down the wall into carpet. when i see the pee spring up i will in a panic grab absolutely whatever i can find to cover the wee wee. my mom gave me some "pee pee teepees" but he squirms too much and they fall off.
he is always spitting up when he is freshly bathed or just got a clean outfit.
and at every doc visit weigh in, he waits til i have stripped him and wiped him clean and then he blasts the super poop everywhere. it is such a blast our instinct is to take cover. me and the nurses flinch at the noise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
last night jenny said she wanted me to go get her dolly "stwoller" out of her room. so i go fetch and tell her not to run over hank with it. well i caught her doing just that. hank is looking at me like "serenity now woman". i asked jenny anyway "did you run over hank?" she looked at her feet and sadly said "uh oh".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the car today i pull into sonic. getting stuff just for me. greedy piggie momma. oink oink. i plan to share if prodded, but jeepers its like 2pm the girl should fall asleep soon. get a shake, coke, fries. jenny is in the back zoned in to her caillou DVD. pull thru drive thru and out onto road again with no comment from jenny. she is usually professing her love for "trench tries" from start to finish of drive thru. always potential to have "trench try" meltdown if you are making her wait to eat them when we get home. just like her momma. so she is zoned in like i said. i am thinking hee hee good. i can eat them all myself! maybe even right now in the car and she won't even notice it!! she then calmly says from backseat "don't eat trench tries without me mommy".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
troy is super mellow. thank the GOOD LORD ABOVE. thanking him daily without ceasing for no colic this time.
it was several trips before he cried in the car. i was parked at the bank with both of them strapped in. had to fill out deposit slip and sometimes you get the best work done when they are strapped in back there asleep or not running around in the house eating crayons. so at the bank and he is finally going to remind us he is back there. mind you his worst screams are comparable to jenny's grunts when she was a newborn. jenny is soothing him
"its okay"
"what wrong twoy?"
"poor twoy".
finally she says:
"stop cwying twoy!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jenny is excellent entertainer for troy during tummy time. i have decided i don't need one of those pricy tummy mats to keep him happy. just unleash his sister on him. she will lay all her dolls and animals on their tummies also right next to him and cover them each with blankie and troy also. she will talk mommy talk to them
"you seepy? okay baby"
"you nap? okay baby"
"want me drink you? okay baby" (want a bottle)
"sit still baby"
"its okay"
once i noticed her pulling troy's arm. i am like NO NO NO. she is frowning and says "no troy!" "no touch Wosie!" his arm was on rosie and she didn't want him touching her doll. and so it begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay so this was not a short post. lots of work to do.
