Busy Being Blessed

Little Talker

jamin has been talking a lot lately!

“peese” (please)

“yeash” (yes)

“mama” (FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“ya-ya” (yummies – nursing)

isn’t that so adorable? oh he is just getting so big. *sob* he is darling as can be.

josiah is pretty much done potty learning. i’m so proud of him!! if only the rest of his behavior could match up to this success.

jeremiah is a smarty pants and continues to impress us. he’s also growing like a weed. his attitude is getting a bit better lately, but there are still unacceptable outbursts every so often.

i hope everyone is doing well. :)

God bless.

Please Vote for Jamin’s Pics!

i have entered his pics at parents.com magazine site, it’s for a cover baby contest.
please vote on his pics – who knows, he just might win!

you can do two things – you can rate it, with the stars, or you can recommend it. i think recommending it is really “voting”.

i hope to get a new real post up soon. i have been trying to limit my online time a lot, and i’m sorry my blog and blog pals are suffering! i really want to get new pics on here, and blog hop some. we’ll see.

i’m working on a new kit, even though my other one hasn’t sold ANYTHING. :( i am determined that i won’t put the new one up for sale until the other sells to at least one person. the new one is going to be kind of patriotic though, so i hope i can get it out soon. i think i’m going with the name “american all-star”.

ttyl – have a great rest of the week!

The Dangers of Laundry Baskets and Other Stuff

on tuesday, jamin was happily playing with matched socks on the floor. they were in a shallow laundry basket, one that jerry owned since before i knew him (so about 11 years). it has cracks in almost every side. i don’t know why, but i never thought about it being dangerous before. anyway, i was going to pick jamin up to nurse him, but the boys started squabbling a little beyond jamin, so i passed him up to break up their fight. jamin started screaming, and he’s been doing that lately when he thinks he’s being ignored, so i didn’t turn right away (bad mama). when i did turn, his poor sweet adorable arm was stuck in the laundry basket, and he was making it worse by trying to pull it out. :( i had to hold two sides and pull them opposite ways to get his arm out safely. he was SO upset, and so was i! i couldn’t believe it had happened. so now that dumb thing is not in his reach, until we can afford to replace it. :/ his arm is healing up just fine, btw.

josiah is doing AWESOME at his potty learning. there is no training going on, because i’m really not doing anything! he is calling the shots – i don’t even ask him when to go (well i do, but usually when he doesn’t need to, and he goes on his own.) he even stayed dry during nap. he was wearing training undies and he stayed dry. i’m so proud of him! he’s started going in the little potty that’s in the boys’ room at night as well. who knows, maybe he’ll wake up dry tomorrow. the boy was just READY. we are serious about trying to get them trained by the time they are three, and he’s almost got it down right now. say a prayer that he stays this proficient!

jeremiah has been going through such a horrible stage lately. he is so disrespectful, aggressive, angry and mean. some days he’s his old sweet self, but others, like today, i just don’t know who he is! it’s usually around the same time he gets growing pains, so i wonder if it’s little boy hormones or something. tonight he did something i was so shocked and disappointed about, i don’t even want to mention it. :( he stabbed joe in the back with a pencil. :*( he was mad at josiah because josiah bit off the pencil’s eraser. yeah, seriously. i am at a loss sometimes. :*( what am i doing wrong?

that’s it for now.

An Almost Freebie!

it was a freebie, but i can’t figure out how to offer something truly for free on the cart! so it’s just a penny! you can use RME or paypal, and we are working on adding a googlecart to the store as well!

it’s the fourth plop-n-print using my new kit. :)

feel free to pass it on – post on your blog or what-not. ;)
