I promise I’ll eventually get off this video kick. Especially if we have to return the darn thing to buy another t.v….but I don’t think we’re going to do that. Anyway, here’s a video of Mikey trying to put potato head glasses on our very patient yorkie. How many times does Mikey say “eyes” in this video. If you guess it correctly, I’ll give you a thumbs up.
They love each other April 29, 2009
Phillip pointed out some inconsistencies with my parenting skills in this video. And I am more than willing to admit the error of my ways. But not this time because “get him” and “hit him” are clearly not the same thing and any 2 year old should know that.
Yes, Mikey spit milk in Jackson’s ear. He’s a mess.
Jackson took these photos…. April 28, 2009
Jack held my big, heavy camera with the monstrous lens and flash and took these. It was really funny to watch. He could barely hold it up much less straight. I didn’t crop these. These are just as he took them. Not too bad really. I didn’t feel like messing with editing them.
Not an effective liar April 28, 2009
Jackson’s on an antibiotic and he totally hates it. He whines and complains every time he has to take it. He took his antibiotic this morning but he didn’t take all of it. There was still a little bit left in the bottom. I told him to finish it. He just came and told me that he was going in to the kitchen to drink that last little bit but the trash can was open and it accidentally fell into the trash can. I gave him a disapproving look and he just said, “I’m telling the truth!”
I’m so glad he’s terrible at lying. I hope he always stays this bad at lying.
He takes our noses April 28, 2009
We started doing the fake nose stealing thing with Mikey a few weeks ago. I would “take” his nose and “put it” in my pocket and then he would try to “get it” and “put it” back on. Okay….enough with the stinking quotes. You get the idea. Anyway, he has started doing this and it’s so funny to see him do this stuff. He makes up variations of this little game. The latest thing is stealing our noses and putting them down the back of his underwear. The other day Phillip said, “Mikey took my nose and stuck it in his underwear. It stunk!” This evening he took Phillip’s nose and put it in a box. Then he walked into his room and turned the box upside down and shook Phillip’s nose out. We get all bent out of shape when he takes our noses and won’t give them back. He thinks its the funniest thing.
We love that kid.
He jumps. April 26, 2009
a lot.
And maybe we shouldn’t let Mikey jump off the furniture. But we do anyway. For now.

It’s scary! April 24, 2009
Jackson has a new blog. We have all decided to abandon our blogger blogs and go with wordpress. Anyway, this is Jackson’s new blog
Why is it called that? I have no idea.
Play dough April 22, 2009
We have some homemade red play dough at the preschool where I teach. We let our kids play with it pretty much every day that we’re there. We have had this particular vat of play dough since the beginning of February I think. And I don’t have to tell you that 4 year olds are pretty gross. They pick their noses, their booties, lick their fingers, etc., etc… They’re just kind of gross creatures. Anyway, I’m sure this play dough is a horrible germy mess by now. I shudder to think what all could be growing and lurking in it. One of my kids (I won’t name any names) has realized that it really bothers me when he eats the play dough. This kid in particular likes to get under my skin. Usually I try not to show him any weaknesses because I know he’ll use it against me. But he has discovered my play dough weakness and he’s torturing me. Today when he dramatically went out of his way to eat a small bite of play dough in front of me I almost lost my breakfast. He eats it like he’s eating a delicacy, holding it out in front of him with a look of longing and then slowly puts in his mouth. He gets this satisfied look on his face like it’s the best thing he’s ever tasted. And today when he did this I literally almost threw up. Even now thinking about it, it’s making me nauseous. I’ve never had a weak stomach but for whatever reason this play dough thing is really getting to me. I’ve got to get a grip or just throw the stuff away. He has the upper hand and I must gain it back.
I rarely ever let my own kids play with play dough. I don’t know if Mikey has ever played with it. It’s just gross stuff. And now after watching this kid eat it like it’s a gourmet meal, I just don’t know if I’ll ever be able to handle play dough again.
