I got to watch Damon and Tessa this week while Tiff helped in Rockwell's class. Oh my goodness, I can't even put into words how cute this kid is. He just makes me happy. Here he is saying, "Al." Of course I had to text the video to all of my family just so they know he loves me!
Look at that smile. I could post twenty smiling pictures of him that I took in two minutes. He is just adorable. He spent the first ten minutes laying on my shoulder, loved that. After that he laughed and played until I laid him down for a nap, he didn't cry, he just laid down and went to sleep. What an angel!
Wyatt loved playing with Damon. He gets so excited when he makes him smile. It was the perfect way to start my day!
Hallee and Tessa were off playing the whole time. They are always in dress up and we have to call them different names.
Caitlyn's beanie boo is almost as big as they are!
Every Wednesday we get together with my mom, Tiff and Mel. It is so fun. I don't know what I would do without my family. Wyatt loved playing Bingo with grandma while he was waiting for Rockwell to get home. I love how much attention my mom gives my kids.
Parenting is such a roller coaster. There are days where I wonder if my kids will ever be able to be responsible and take care of themselves without my help. When I expressed that concern to Jonah, he said I could just call him on his mission and remind him to brush his teeth every day. We have the constant battles of minding your own business, getting yourself ready in the morning, cleaning up after yourself, washing your hands, doing jobs without complaining, doing jobs the right way and the list goes on. Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with what they aren't doing that I'm sure we are way off track. Then they will do something like this and I think, maybe they are getting it after all. Jonah wrote this letter to Keith and I all on his own.
He also added some of his artwork. There are times when the kids step up and remind me what great kids they are and I realize that they will be just fine. I need to remember those moments.
In case I can't read this on here it says:
Dear mom and dad....
You guys have worked so hard for us and I need to tell you a few things about how we appreciate all you do. Mom, you have amazing talent at staying home and taking care of us and cleaning and we barely do anything! You also take us fun places and we just complain when we get home and expect to do more fun things. I need to shape up! Dad, you get us almost all of our money, you go to work for like 10 hours while when I get home from school and have fun without you! You also are so funny and have a great job to help us a lot and you are cool! You both take most of your guyses day to help us and take care of us! You guys are awesome!
Jonah
PS look on the back
On the back he drew a Darth Vader mask. This made my week. I love to see those signs of appreciation and understanding. This gives me hope that I won't have to call Jonah and remind him to brush his teeth on his mission!
