<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is a
story about a boy name Patrick who lived a very<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>long time ago in a land called Openanana (Oh-Pan-Anana) Now Openanana
was a strange place you see because no one had ever heard of fasteners. Now you
and I know that fasteners are very useful tools the help us connect one piece
of fabric to another, But the people of Openanana had never used them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their shoes were always getting stuck in the
mud, their coats were always letting in the cold, and worst of all their pants
kept falling down! Wouldn’t that be awful? Would you like to live here?)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One snowy
day Patrick was walking home and he was so cold because his pants had fallen
off his shoes were stuck in the mud , He suddenly yelled “ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH!!!!!!, I will not do this anymore!” And he decided to come up with a
solution. And what do you think he did?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He decided
to start with the pants problem first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now what could he use to keep his pants on? (Accept all applicable
answers)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and what kind of fasteners do belts use? Yes! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Patrick
chose to make a belt with Velcro, because<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>he thought it would be easy to use. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The next day
Patrick walked to school, and his pants stayed on the whole way! Everyone in
Openanana Was so excited they all got belts! Some had buckles,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>some tied, some had Velcro and some had
snaps. The people of Openanana were so excited. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But Patrick
was still cold, especially his toes. He just needed a way to keep them much
tighter on his feet. What do you think he did? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is right! He poked some holes in the
sides right here and added a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>shoelace!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day his shoes
stayed on the whole way to school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
people of Openanana were so excited, they all went out and got their own
fasteners for their shoes. Some used laces, others used velcro and a few even
used buckles. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Everyone was
happy, except Patrick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was still
cold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He decided
to keep his coat from blowing open in the wind. Hmm he needed something that
would stay very securely, and not let in the cold but would also open up when
he needed it to. This one took a lot of thinking but what do you think he did?
Yep he used a zipper. He could pull it up or down and on days that were not too
hot and not too cold he could even leave it in the middle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was wonderful, Again the people of
Openanana were so excited they threw a party for Patrick to thank him and they
all came wearing their coats. Some had zippers, some had Velcro, Some had
toggles or buckles or snaps!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And Patrick
was finally warm THE END</span></div>

Today I told him that I was going to blow up a balloon. He
had a complete meltdown that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I </i>was going

Then he hit his sister with the balloon and when he was put on time out sobbed
because he had to give all of his toys to his sister (something I never even
mentioned). </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So the little green monster was moody all morning, so I asked him<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“What’s wrong, monster?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Mom, mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never telled you this before but I used to have a fairy and daddy did too but now they are gone and that makes me sad.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Oh why did they go? I don’t know they just did. Mine was named Tinkerbelle and she would come when I whistled. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad’s was named bob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And ever since I had a little sister she won’t come any more and that makes me sad!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“ I don’t think she stopped coming because of your little sister…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I think she did, maybe we’ll have to get rid of sister”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“But wouldn’t you miss her too? A lot?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“maybe she left because your room is too messy, and she didn’t like to come over anymore to play, she might get stuck!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sorry readers it has been so long I’m trying to learn to balance school home and still writing this blog for fun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So lately the little green monster has been really interested in temporary tattoos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finding myself out of them and in need of a bribe I told him I would DRAW a tattoo with markers on him as long as he promised<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>not to draw on himself.

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is it? a tree? Cloud? An explosion? Nope it’s broccoli. I told him I’d draw anything and he chose broccoli.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That was a few weeks ago, but I was reminded of it today<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>during snack time, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he wanted a bowl of whonu cookies and milk. I vetoed that(go figure) and set him down with a bowl of broccoli and a glass for milk. I look over and he’s dipping his broccoli in milk. Delish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m just going to jot this down as a mommy win and hope he always loves his broccoli!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hate it when The Little Green Monster lectures us, because
he’s nearly always right.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He likes to lecture us about lot of different things. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How we brush our teeth, if we are driving correctly, being
to loud watching anything remotely scary on TV, even if we are eating too many
sweets. Of course, sometimes this works in my favor like getting Papa gears to
always wear his seatbelt. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It goes like this:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Monster notices that his dad is unbuckled</span></div>

I hate bedtime lately, I usually have a love/hate relationship with bed time it
isn't very fun BUT eventually the children go to SLEEP. But not lately. <br />
<br />
Bet time is taking 4 or more hours every night for two kids!<br />
<br />
Around 8 we start The little green monster's bedtime routine, he brushes his
teeth to our little dance party (where I make up a 2 minute song and dance)<br />
<br />
we get him undressed because he hates pj's and sleeps only in his undies , we
read him a story . We say sweet good nights, we leave the light on so he isn't
scared.<br />
<br />
8:30 At this point I’m thinking “SWEET tonight this is going to work!”<br />
<br />
8:32 monster is out of his room he's “hungry” this is a god possibility because
he didn't eat his dinner, he never eats his dinner.<br />
<br />
First threat “If your not chewing you have to go back to your room."<br />
<br />
9:00 2nd bed</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>time- more hugs and kisses. <br />
9:02 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>little Monster, out of bed again.
We have been advised to make punishments bed related so we start to take away
bed time related things, if he stays in his room then he can earn them back 5
minutes at a time. This time we take away his stuffed animal<br />
<br />
9:04 – bye bye blanket<br />
9:05 – The little princess who has been crying for about a half an hour finally
falls asleep.<br />
9:08- He made it 4 minutes! And then came out again now he thinks this is fun.<br />
9:15- ah blanket got back<br />
9:16- bye bye blanket<br />
9:18- bye bye pillow<br />
9:19- bye bye sheets<br />
<br />
Now I'm thinking uh-oh this isn't going well, what else do I take away?</span></div>

turn off the light he turns it on I tell him to leave it off, her turns it on.
So I debate do I tape it off? Nah, I take his light bulb. <br />
<br />

<br />
" SEE YEAH! I hope the door dosn't hit you too hard on the way out."<br />
<br />
OK I might add<br />
<br />
"Please don't come back. Well for at least a few more years, in fact if you want Princess to skip 3 all together and just go from 2-4, I'd be OK with that.<br />
<br />
3 you are 2 with intent.<br />
<br />
3 you took the ability of a two year old to make a mess and turned it in to a tornado. A vicious level of destruction that sometimes out paces my wildest dreams. I mean i didn't think you were capable but i was wrong. <br />
<br />
3 you saw to the end of naps, but not the end of need for a nap just the ability to take one.<br />
<br />
3 you have reduced the number of foods that my son will eat to a handful, of course that is just for me he'll eat a lot for everyone else. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RucWvfpNbDA/UDBgKaaZqZI/AAAAAAAAAH8/R6WQWCIBuuc/s1600/spring2011-spring2012+135.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RucWvfpNbDA/UDBgKaaZqZI/AAAAAAAAAH8/R6WQWCIBuuc/s640/spring2011-spring2012+135.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
(yeah that's cake he FELL ON IT great way to start 3 no?)<br />
<br />
now don't get me wrong 3 your not all bad, <br />
<br />
thanks to you my little monster is potty trained.<br />
<br />
He interacts socially much better.<br />
<br />
those fine motor skills are coming along nicely he wants to color and write now! <br />
<br />
and he can think about others before himself he doesn't like to but he can. that's all on you 3. <br />
<br />
<br />
But overall, I'm ready for my sweet boy back so 3 you can shove it!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This week we went to go visit my grandmother in Utah while
we were there we visited a college roommate of mine who has a precious 4 week
old newborn boy, her first. We decided to meet up at a park so the kids could play
and no one had to worry about clean up. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They are new parents still in that wonderfully protective he’s
so tiny and fragile stage. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Little princess ate grass, every time I looked away, a
lot of grass. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh but this story isn’t
about her, nah this is about The Little Green Monster… who lived up to his
name. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he disappeared a
lot as three year olds are apt to do luckily we kept an eye on him but not
close enough because during on trip around the corner papa gears walked over to
find him PEEING on the wall of the restroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>AHHH! That’s right pants around his ankles just peeing on the wall; I swear
he’s never done that before. I apologize to our friends and try to laugh it off
something about boys will be boys, right?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a good time to mention that there was a family
reunion going on at this park, Monster disappears again, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and we start to call for him and he bounces
out of the pavilion with a desert in hand very happy “I GOT DESERT MOM!!!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty sure I died right there. </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09076695064291141670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714944382004442013.post-68453368609822805632012-08-01T14:21:00.000-07:002012-08-01T14:34:09.966-07:00the evils of parade candy<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hate parade
candy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is way too much of it and
not enough at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little
monster is still well little,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so he doesn’t
run as far in to the street(thank goodness) or as fast as the other kids,
leaving him to cry because he isn’t allowed to grab that piece of candy just out
of reach. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s sticky and hot what is eaten makes the overly hot kids
thirsty. What isn’t eaten is put in to the diaper bag where it melts in to a
sticky mess. On a related note does anyone know how to get melted candy out of
a diaper bag?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once I tried to bring a bag of candy along because I knew I was
going to be at the parade without papa Gears, it didn’t work the candy I bought
must have been of an inferior quality or something because when that one green
tootsie roll flew near enough to him that he could have picked it up but a
older faster child swooped it up it was all over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So a POX on parade candy! (On the candy, not the
kids who eat it)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a funny note Grandma Knows-it-all <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>told the little monster that if he waves, he’ll
get more candy so he waved at everything for an hour or so weather we had
people in front of us or not . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Isn’t the parade wave awesome!</span><br />

underrepresented here, can you believe my six month old will not pose for me? The

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Monster likes to make “transformers” I’m not sure what it
transforms in to, but maybe it’s the laundry fairy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I can only hope. </span>What do you think? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We can’t go anywhere. I think for the safety and sanity of
the rest of the city we should just stay home. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see earlier this week we ate at our local taco
bell with friends from their family not one drop was spilled. Us well…</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First Monster spilled RED FRUIT PUNCH. Why oh why would papa
gears give a three year old such a stainable drink?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well he dropped it and then tried to clean it
up with napkins, we asked for a mom but they were busy so they said not to
worry about it but it was EVERYWHERE. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So while directing Monster I set Princess on the chair next
to me I was ho ding on to her with one hand but I wasn’t watching those sneaky baby
hands. And she grabbed a taco spilling it all over. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unfortunately, I saw this and tipped over my drink during an
attempt to catch it….</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Do you ever get the feeling that you smell? I think this is
a part of the whole mommy gig, that or Papa Gears and I just smell awful. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I can get people to make plans with me,
they change and I get stood up ,always it’s kind a depressing actually, even
family! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The other thing I want to talk about is what my friend call’s
the 2+ club. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the birth of your
second child the sleep deprivation and the Dora depletes your ability to think
so much that you <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>can no longer be interesting.
Your boring to talk to you know don’t have anything to say. When you actually
have an adult conversation it is absolutely hilarious and interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think, you know I’m not sure what to say
ummmm…..</span></div>
