Poo Appreciation

I'm ready for my close up!
As a mother of two now... I am tired all the time but it's worth it because I have two beautiful and healthy kids... This blog is the celebration of getting William to drink milk again! finally and to celebrate the return of the MAN TURD! If you don't have children this will not mean much to you but for those of you with kids or kids on the way when the Man Turd returns it is a good thing. I have been fighting with runny nasty shoot out of the diaper poo and now the MAN TURD has returned and I am ever so happy. The milk drinking has done the trick but getting William to drink the Milk was also tricky. I decided when I went grocery shopping that I was going to by Dannon Dannimal Yogurt smoothies... I thought that maybe William would drink these.. I never actually expected him too but he did and so starts the trickery... I put 2 smoothies in his sippy cup and then filled it the rest of the way up with milk... he drank it and loved it.... It's pretty sad when you have to decieve your child..but when it's for the greater good it's okay I think. I am proud to say that he loves it and drinks it now.... I thought that the texture of milk was why he wasn't drinking it so we went from whole milk to 2% milk and finally to 1% but he still would drink it...so the smoothies are thicker than any of the milk so evidently the texture was not the problem.. imagine that...just another picky toddler! Well either way he's drinking smoothy milk and man turding again...so yeah for William and yeah for me! Also we bought William his first potty.. he doesn't call it his potty but he calls it his pee so that's a step closer!! Well that's it for now.. Oh yeha.. Baby Scott still gets up all night so I'm sleep deprived but I'm glad to say that it's worth it and I am so glad to have my 2 wonderful little men! and a great husband to share it all with!

Sleeping.. Shocking!!!

OH BOY

William sitting in his brothers swing.. He's a bit big.... ha ha ha!
Sleeping.... what a shocker!!
Lending a helping hand....
I sure am a tired mom! I tell you what.. it is a lot different mothering 2 boys instead of just one. When one's asleep the other one's awake and vice versa. So finding time to get rest myself has been quite a chore. Scott is growing a little bit everyday and will hopefully get a better night sleeping schedule soon. William is still growing like a weed. Getting in 4 teeth right now and it is not much fun. He loves to help us out with his little brother too. It's quite amusing. So last week was the first week for my to fly solo with the 2 boys and it went off without a hitch. It was just like before except now there are 2. It's not been to hard to get used to just interesting. I am still recovering from surgery but I am doing well. My incision is itching like crazy and is also still a bit sore but that's to be expected. I am not quite brave enough to try a trip to Cody by myself with the two boys.. but it'll have to happen sometime soon I'm just sure. Daddy Scott is doing great.. I think that he was glad to get back to work but missed his little men after being able to spend so much time with them. I was glad that he got back to work but missed him the same too. However, I did finally get the 7th Harry Potter book finished this past week too. It took a lot longer than any of the others but it's a chore to find the time to read when you have 2 little boys that require so much attention, also I don't think I wanted to finish it because it is the last one and it was a very sad time. I didn't want the book to be over because that is the end of such a wonderful saga. I'll admit I'm in Love with the Harry Potter books and movies and was sad to have it finished but all good things must come to an end.. Well other than that...we are doing great.. glad to be healthy, happy, and loved! Here are a few pics of the boys!

Hugging his little brother!

Tired but Happy!











So life with 2 children is a lot different than with just one! Thank goodness for a wonderul husband and an 18month old that is such a good boy with little kids! He has been so careful and gentle with his little brother that we are just impressed beyond all belief! Sure he gets his tugs, and pulls, and pokes in but they are very gentle and he doesn't sneak to do them. He does it when we are all in the same room(probably because leaving the room with both kids in it alone would not be a very good idea, especially if you know William... he's a little too curious at times.) But nonetheless, life is a lot different... Not only do you have two people to love besides your husband you are always doing something.. especially when you have 2 in diapers.. I'm not complaining because it is wonderful.. but I'm tired and still trying to recover from surgery! Scott has been home for the last week to help out at the house and Thank GOD for that because I would never have been able to do it without him...so it is with sorrow that he will return to work on Monday. He is ready to get back to the grind but we will surely miss him at home! especially me!!! Our newest little guy Scott is a very good baby... He is just as his big brother William was when he came home. He sleeps a lot and does not fuss much at all.. We are blessed to have 2 healthy children and to know that our family is complete! 2 is a perfect number and as enjoyable as being pregnant is(SARCASM) I will not do it again! So here are a few pics of the family to show. Enjoy!!!



William is such a good big brother when Scott is big enough to play becuase William wants to play now and it's too cute!
