First Tackle
So proud of little D. Sophia has been known to tackle Dylan all the time. She comes at him, gives him a bear hug that ends with him on the floor and him squirming and screaming to get out of her grip. Well, today, he took his turn at the tackle move at the mall play area. He was chasing her, went for the hug hold and brought her down. She was laughing the whole time and I saw him sneak in a kiss on her leg as she squirmed free. That part warmed my heart like crazy. Eyes welling up now as I see it again in my mind. I was so impressed with his moves though. Yay Dylan!

Oh so litteral
Sophia woke up the other morning VERY grouchy, whiny and cranky. I got upset at her and told her that it sounded like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed and that maybe she should go back to bed wake up on the right side. Well, that through her off into an even greater fit. I couldn't understand why she was getting so upset over that until I heard what she was saying through her cries. She was VERY upset that she physically wasn't able to get up on any other side of the bed. "But mommy, there is a wall on the other side I couldn't get out on the other side..." I thought that was hilarious and felt bad for her being so worried about it. So cute.
Ok, so that little gem took me about 4 days to write down. Kind of why I haven't been writing here so much. These little things happen all the time, or I think of something, but the computer isn't handy. Then when it IS handy, I can't remember what it was that was so clever, cute or worthy or recording.
Happy spring!

Bathing suit season
Both Sophia and Dylan start swim lessons this week. Yikes! I have them signed up for the mom and tot classes which means I have to don a swimsuit TOO, two times a week for the next ten weeks. Yay me. I tried to get Sophia in a class last spring and that went rather poorly. Hoping a new year is better.
Took Dylan to an allergist last week. Turns out he is allergic to dust mites, grass, a couple moulds found in nature, mouse (??), and dog. The mites is the biggy. He has had a stuffy nose and itchy eyes for a long time now and I have been at my wits end trying to console him with that. Turns out the mites are most likely the cause of that. SO, I tried to de-dust his room - removed the glider, bought some dust mite covers for his bedding (which is now all crunchy, poor guy) and vacuumed the heck out of his room. I am not a super clean person, so this will be difficult to maintain. I had actually just made that observation about myself before this appointment. How most of the other moms I know seem to have their homes in a constant state of clean, it comes "naturally" to them. I had been trying to raise the bar at home and make sure all eating surfaces are wiped and toys picked up. Quite difficult with three kids (yes, one is rather large). I have also been trying to change Dylan out of his jammies when not in bed and back into them for naps to keep mites to a min. Well, two days after this "program", Dylan gets a massive cold with a major runny nose. GRRRRR, I haven't even been able to see if all my efforts are really working or not. Sigh...
Looking forward to some family visits on the horizon - Ainley drives down this weekend and the rents are coming first week of April.

Bathroom Humor
Ok, I still laugh every time Dylan toots. I know this isn't setting a good precedent, but I can't help it. It is so cute.
Dylan is now a full fledged potty goer - will do #1 completely on his own and #2 he can do except the wipe.
Like Sophia, he sometimes asks me to leave while he poops "because it is going to get stinky". Last night's comment was priceless, though. "I have to make pee pees and poo poos and toots in the toilet." And that he did... For 25 minutes!
Got my second migraine ever. First happened a week before our wedding and my vision was all blurred and I couldn't read. Then I got a mild headache. This time I was in the grocery store with Dylan and the eye thing happened (looked it up online - thought it was an ocular migraine, however, it think now that was the "aura" preceding the headache) and then as I was driving, the headache set in. Still had to get Sophia and hit one ore grocery store. not pretty. Hope these things do not become a regular thing. Head is still "sensitive".
Liking the new range. Have been trying out meats. My slow cooked roast turned out so amazing and my chicken on the bone (drum sticks, thighs and breast) have been super moist. I made Ethan's cake in there and some SUPER yummy muffins.
