Sept update

Couple quick updates!

Our family is doing wonderful! We were approved for a home loan so now we are just in the process of finding the right home for our family. We are really hoping to be in someplace new by Christmas really earlier if possible!

Kevin- a couple weeks ago we were out shopping and he got a phone call from one of his managers at work. They were asking him to switch lines at work and work monday-friday 10 hour day shifts. Such a HUGE blessing for our family. Neither one of my kids sleep well when Kevin is at work at night. We do not know how long this position is going to last but we are greatful for it! Instead of working 10 hours he's been working closer to 12 hours and has been able to get a ton of overtime! This just really helps us in our house buying event!

Brandi- same old same old with me. Just love being a mommy to my two beautiful kids!

Preston- he is doing wonderful with potty training! I can not even tell you the last time he had an accident! He still wears a diaper to bed but he does so well doing the day. We have been able to go out shopping all day without any accidents and he's always so willing to tell us when he needs to go potty. He has loved riding his bike this summer and he was sad to see that our weather is changing and he cant go swimming anymore. His knowledge and understanding just amazes me! I love love LOVE listening to him play during the day and he is constantly asking me a ton of questions all day!

Hanna- she is crawling EVERYWHERE! She is constantly on the go and never naps longer than an hour. She is pulling herself up to standing and has been walking around furniture. She seems to be growing so much just before our eyes. She LOVES solid foods and loves everything we feed her except purees. She also is crawling upstairs. She loves her daddy and gets so excited when he comes home from work.  She says dadda. She also says momma but only when she's crying for me. I cant believe she'll be 9 months in just a few short weeks.

3 year olds say some funny things!

Oh boy do 3 year olds say and do some funny things!
One of my best friends has a little girl who is 2 weeks older then Preston, last friday I was babysitting her and Preston was so super excited because they are the best of buds! They rarely fight or argue, it was a long day for the two of them to just play. About 1-2 hours before her mommy was coming to get her Preston came downstairs and was so upset. The following is our conversation.
Me: Whats wrong Preston? You two need to play nice
Preston: Mom Paisley chewed on my Panda Bear (fake crying)
Me: Then ask her nicely to not chew on your toys
Preston to Paisley
Preston: Paisley please do not chew on my toys
Paisley: (bursts into tears and does not say anything)
At this point Preston disappears into his room to play and keeps asking for her to come back and play. I step in to see how come she's crying.
Me: Pais whats wrong? How come your crying? You are not in trouble
Paisley: (crying uncontrollably) I chewed on his panda because he chewed on my duck (she pulls it out of her cute purse).
Me: PRESTON!!!!

Within 5 mins they were fine and both playing again. After Paisley left Preston came downstairs and was just super upset.
Me: Bubba how come your upset?
Preston: Paisley told me that she is not my girlfriend anymore
Me: How come she said that?
Preston: Because I told her not to chew on my panda

In a text conversation today with Paisleys momma I was telling her about this story and she laughed. She then told me that a little boy asked Paisley at school this week to be his girlfriend and she said no because Preston was her boyfriend. I tell Preston this conversation and he says "Mom she was just kidding me".

Paisley is seriously his best bud. He was watching cartoons yesterday and we seen a commercial for a Cinderella vanity and was so super excited as he said
Preston: Mom I need to save my pennys to buy that toy
Mom: Preston that toy is for a little girl, you do not need it
Preston: But mom I want to buy it for Paisley so she can play with it when she's here.

I can not believe that I already have to worry about the fact that my 3 year old has a major crush on Paisley. I know we laugh now but in a couple years it might not be so funny.
