Great Grandma Kent

• My Grandma loves our boys. She always wants to know who they belong to and sometimes calls them girls. Her eyes get a sparkle in them when she sees them. Isaak and Mica love their Grandma Kent.

• My favorite story in regards to Grandma Kent is when Mica told her how he loved the bubbles in her hair! Grey curly hair does look a little like bubbles to a kid.

Candy Land

• Mica started having an interest in playing games. Candy Land is his favorite right now. He looses interest towards the end. Basically he takes his player man, and pretends it's a train on a colored track. His favorite color is orange. It's good to play games with him because I guess he was a poor sport at preschool when they played "Duck Duck Goose". He wanted to be picked every time. Then he proceeded to pout when he didn't get picked. We've experienced this with him when playing "Go Fish". He wants to "Go Fish" even when it is my turn to "Go Fish".

• It's a learning process. I hope he's not going to turn into one of those adults that's a poor sport!

So Big

• Isaak learned how to play "So Big". He throws his arms up in the air, just to hear me say, "So big". He has a huge smile on his face. Sometimes I gobble his ribs and armpits when we play this game, that produces a belly laugh out of Isaak.

• Isaak is also easily amused when I make my eyebrows go up and down.

Two Teeth

• We thought Isaak had two teeth now, but when we looked again that second tooth just hasn't popped through all the way. On Friday night Isaak cut a fever 101.7. He woke up a lot that night, and threw up his dinner. He also pooped up the back earlier that day. I'm thinking this is all from teething.

Crew Nuts

• Most of what Mica says I can understand. A lot of people who don't know him think that he's 4 because he talks well and is tall. He's only 3. Socially he's not 4 years old. There is one word that I've heard him say that is rather amusing; that is "Crew Nuts", which is "Croutons". I know he can say, "Croutons", but when he asks for them (which we rarely have them), he says "Crew Nuts". Travis had to ask me, "What does he want?" I just laughed and pointed to the box.

• Lately I've been trying to expand Mica's vocabulary. When we were at Aunt Angela's house, I told Mica to say, "Thank you for your hospitality". He said it perfectly. But now when I ask him to say it, he says, "No Mommy, I'm too tired to say that". Sometimes he says, "No Mommy, I'm too big to say those words", which makes no sense. That's where he's socially not 4 years old yet.

• Travis was reading Mica a book on all kinds of dinosaurs, and some of them he didn't know how to say their names. Mica said, "Daddy we'll just have to ask Ethan". His cousin Ethan knows how to say just about every dinosaur name out there. Mica picks up on the little things now.

• This means we really have to watch what we are saying! He called his cousin Evan an "Idiot" a few weeks ago. I was thinking, "Oh God do I call Travis that, or maybe my mom calls my dad that?" Go to find out it's in the movie Kung Fu Panda. At this age they absorb everything.

Back on Milk

• I've had Mica back on cow's milk after he had the tummy flew around Christmas. Knock on wood, he hasn't had hardly any problems. His doctor did tell me about toddler diarrhea. Mica could of had that. I've read about it, and I guess it's pretty common for toddlers to get. This wouldn't explain my tummy issues, but I've always had a sensitive tummy.

Two Teeth

• Little Zeek has two teeth now. Mommy will have to watch out for biting.

Click, Click, Click

• Isaak just learned how to click his tongue. It's pretty cute when he does it.

Busy Weekend

• We had a busy weekend! My sister Terra threw a surprise party Saturday for her husband Tyson (who is turning 30). I went early to help set up decorations. It was fun! Mica almost ruined the surprise when he asked really loud, "Where is Tyson at?" Tyson didn't hear him. We were there really late (10:30 before we got home). My boys generally go to bed around, Isaak 7:30 or 8 and Mica 8 or 8:30. Mica fell asleep in his car seat, and when it was time to get him out, I had to set him down to take his shoes off (it's been snowy here). He walked right into a wall that was right in front of him. I did my best not to laugh (I have a strange since of humor).

• The next day, Mica woke up at 7:30 like usual, but feel back asleep on our bed, and slept until 10 AM. This is unheard of for Mica.

• We had a brunch party for my niece and nephew Kailey and Ethan Sunday morning. I can't believe Kailey is in 8th grade, and Ethan is in 3rd. They are both so tall, and grew up fast. I remember when I was in collage, Kailey was our little baby. We all treated her like she was ours.

• In the photo's above they are playing some Wii boxing game. Mica's back is to the camera. He can't keep his pants up (no hips). I've tried everything (belts, adjustable waist pants), nothing works. Well...suspenders work, but he looks kind of dorky in them. Travis hates that Mica will someday ask for a Wii. He's not a lover of video games.

Cuddle Time

• I try and have cuddle time with my boys at night before they go to bed. I read stories, during this time. Isaak makes it pretty hard for Mica. He likes to pull his hair. Then he wants to grab at the book we're reading the whole time. He stays pretty happy, but constantly grabs at things. Mica is always like, "Isaak stop grabbing my hair!" He says it nice; I have to remind Mica that he's just a baby, and babies don't know any better. I think I may have to move to our bed for cuddle time instead of the couch. That way Isaak can be further away from Mica.

• Isaak really likes Mica. He stops whatever he's doing when Mica comes in the room just to look at him, and has a big smile on his face.
