Lincoln introducing me to his friend from school: "This is my mom. She cleans up our house a lot."
Jackson: "Anybody need some lip balm (he just learned that it is in fact balm and not lip bomb)? Not you dad, not while you are driving."
Lincoln was in his pajamas when I sent him to bed. I went in to check on him and he was changing into regular clothes. When I asked him what he was doing he said, "This way I won't have to get dressed in the morning!" I drew the line at shoes. No shoes in bed. Get to sleep crazy man.
I emptied out a bin to organize some old kid shoes while they are in storage for Harrison. Jackson found it and decided that he had to have it to keep his shirts in. Why? Because they will stay folded better in there. He refused to put his pajamas on until I said we could talk about moving his shirts in the morning.
Harrison has been progressing on standing without holding onto anything. Tonight he was playing with one of the toys that blows the balls in a loop and stood a good 10 minutes. I asked him to come to me though, and he dove head first at me. We're gonna have to work on that! I bought him a fun new toy that he could use as a walker. He hasn't used it that way, but he did push the diaper box around the living room instead. That would've been a lot cheaper.
Jackson brings home a new book from the school library each Tuesday. For some reason, it has become a tradition to read it to him as soon as we get home... at the curb by the mailbox. I have no idea why this started. Today it was crazy as Lincoln brought out the jar of peanut butter and a batch of homemade orange juice popsicles. Harrison crawled over and ate a big scoop of dirt, so I gave him a popsicle too. He would only hold it by the icy part. Brr. What a messy book reading session.
