Here comes Peter Cotton-Tail!

Sorry it has taken me a while. Well, on Easter we all got up around 6:30 AM and got ready for church. I was excited. When I woke or tried to wake Seth up, he said, "I wanna seep Momma." Great! When I forced him to get up he cried and yelled, until I put his Easter clothes on him. He was so proud of his big boy Easter outfit! We had Sunrise Service at church and came home around 12:30 PM. He was surprisingly good at church. He got up with the little kids and went to a microphone (they don't use one when they sing) and started singing by himself "Here comes Peter Cotton-Tail, Hoppin down KITTY (he says kitty when he's embarassed)! He enjoyed the food! This was his first real year to hunt eggs. He was confused at first and would throw the eggs. Then he realized they were full of candy and got really into it at that point! He opened the eggs as soon as he found them and seemed equally excited each time! What a big boy!

Other news: Seth is talking so much. He knows things that he seems too impossibly young to understand! Yesterday he was wearing his shoes on his hands and running them up and down his arm saying "Backards ( when he would go backwards) and Forwards (when he would go forwards). This took me completely by surprise. He is also beginning to correct himself when some of the letters in his words come out wrong. In example, for a long time now he has said Geen for Green. Well now he is trying different letters and annunciations to make is sound right. He was saying "Ga-Leen," it was so precious. He hasn't mastered the R sound yet!

The other day we were taking a nap before I had to go to work and I woke up and turned our fan on. (It wasn't put together exactly right when my hubby put it together 5 yrs ago!) I turned it on high and it began to rock and make a lot of noise. Seth woke up from a dead sleep and said "Wat dat fan doin? Dancin? Hot dog Hot dog Diggity dog (off of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)" He was dancing along to his singing. I said , go back to sleep. He laid back down and was out in minutes! What a hillarious kid!

Go see Grammy and Grandpa Momma!

So, last week we decided to make the short trip to see my Mom and Larry. Seth was so excited for the first 3 hours of the drive. The last hour and a half were kind of torturous! Seeing his face when we got there made up for that though. He was so excited to see his Grammy and Grandpa! First thing he was attacked (loved on) by their dog Squiggy. Seth loves to talk to Squiggy on the phone but apparently he does not really like to be kissed by him! So after that one of us was usually holding Seth while Squiggy was roaming around. The rest of the time Seth would say, "No Skiggy", "Go ay down Skiggy", Go use the potty Skiggy." Quite comical I must say. Seth was into everything as usual. Mom and Larry were a little tense, but that is to be expected when you have a 2 year old who is hyped up on Mt.Dew and M&M's running around your house and getting into everything! The first night I had stayed up late to watch TWILIGHT (which I have since watched 2 other times and am reading the book. I LoVeD it!). The next morning my little brother missed the school bus and so when Mom heard Seth up and about around 8:30 or 9:00 she came in and got him. I got up around 10:00 and she and Larry looked so relieved! She said "He is very active." Larry said, "Is he always like this!" Ha! They have no idea. My little man is always on the go and into something all the time. Needless to say they were glad that I got up. Our visit mostly consisted of us Trying to talk while containing a 2 year old child inside! We left on Wednesday night and Seth was sad. After we got a little ways down the road he said, "I go to Grammy and Grandpa's house?" I informed him that we were headed to our new house to see Daddy. This thought kept him happy for a long while. On Thursday morning when we woke up at home he said, "We go to Grammy and Grandpa's house now?" We will go back soon Seth, I would say! He loves his Grammy and Grandpa.

So, we have a potty trained little boy. He is almost always dry when he wakes up from sleep. I can't think of the last time he had an accident. The Potty Chart worked wonders for him. Today Nathan was using the bathroom. When he was done he flushed the toliet of course and Seth went in there and said "I so poud of ew, good job Dad, ew pee in tha potty!" What a funny kid. He later congratulaed me for the same accomplishment. It is a pretty big deal to him right now! No more diapers for us. Probably no more pull-ups either. They are way to expensive when compared to regular "Unies (undies)".

Today at nap time I heard Seth playing in his room. I flung the door open playing with him. After we were done being silly I said, "I Love You Sethey." He replied saying "I ub eww to Momma." After I closed the door I heard him say, "I ub eww beary much." How precious. He is also in a phase where he wants to hug me all the time for no reason or he will kiss my arm or leg or something and say "I gib eww a kiss Momma." Usually at some point in the day when he is seeing me, like when he first wakes up for the day or from nap he will say, "Hey bootiful Mom." He learned that from his Daddy. I am truly blessed. I love my guys completely. I must say that they make me want to be the best person I can be. Thanks guys!
