October Fly on the Wall

Welcome to a Fly on the Wall group post. Today 14 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you’d see if you were a fly on the wall in our homes. Come on in and buzz around my house. 

This month of Fly on the Wall is dedicated to simply the things Little Man says. I wish you all could hear him talk. He is too cute!

Trying to get his Baby Brother out of the room. 

Little Man: mom come here me. You come here me. I need help!

Little Man walks into kitchen, I hear some noises. He comes out...

Little Man: I no have hind my back. (Shaking head no)

Me: yes you do. What is it?

Little Man: No. I no have hind my back. (Hands stay behind his back) 

Laying down with Little Man (which we never get to do anymore) 

Me: baby boy you are getting to be too big!! 

Little Man: ok mom lol ok. 

Really when did he grow up... He's almost 3!! 

Little Man was sitting eating strawberries with his fingers. He finishes:

Little Man: Me put it dooowwwnnnn.... 

Placed bowl on table. 

Little Man: I get paper towl (towel) and clean mmmmyyyy hands!

Since Little Man has turned 3 he has become a tricky little man. I have recently started my 7 day challenge for Plexus Slim. This requires me to drink a special powder drink every morning. Today was no different. I had my drink premixed and chilling in the fridge. I pulled it out to start to drink and of course Little Man wants my drink. 

Little man: I have a drink :)

Me: ok go get your juice. 

Little Man: no I want yours. 

Me: sorry baby but this is mommies special drink. Only mommy can drink it.

He proceeds to act like he is choking. 

Little Man: mom I need a drink! (Cough cough) I'm choking! I'm choking mom I need a drink! 

I can't help but laugh at him. 

Me: no you're not choking. You are faking it. Go get your juice you will be fine! 

Little Man: ugh (walks away rolling his eyes) 

Ok ladies and gents here is one to add to the list. I'm sitting talking to Chef and he says the other day Little man was playing with a ball. He was asked to give the ball to Baby Boy. Little Man proceeds to throw the ball down the hall. 

Little Man: Daddy I no have nothing in my hands see! 

Showing his hands to his daddy.

Hahaha oh man do I have it in for me. This child is all me!!

Little Man and I are in the office/play area. He hears his big brothers fighting over the TV. 

Little Man: Be quiet guys. Sit down watch tv now! 

He proceeded to walk in the living room to talk to them. 

Little Man: Sit down and watch tv. Baby's sleeping! 

Little Man was sitting down at the table eating breakfast this morning. The older boys had gone to their room to have quiet time and do some reading and some homework. 

When Little Man was done eating he says: Mom I go play my boy?

Me: What do you want?

Little Man: Mom I go play with my boys? 

Mom: Oh, you want to go play with your brothers? 

Little Man: My boys mom!

Lastly, Little Man's newest thing to say: 

Little Man will be sitting at the table doing some coloring, playing with toys in the toy room etc. When all of a sudden I hear Baby Boy scream.

Me: Little Man, what happened?

Little Man: I no no mom, I did nothing!

Me: Little Man, What did you do?

Little Man: I no no mom. (with a big grin on his face)

He is always up to something. I fear what it will look like in the next year or even 6 months with both of them running around causing chaos together!

September Fly on the Wall

Welcome to a Fly on the Wall group post. Today 16 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you’d see if you were a fly on the wall in our homes. Come on in and buzz around my house.

Chef and I were sitting in the living room watching baby boy play with a box.

Chef: our baby boy is growing up. All our babies are growing yep. 

Me: yes yes I know. 

Please don't remind me how much they have grown. How my baby is almost a year old and I won't have another. 

Sitting in the living room yet again. Older kids are in back playing while we have baby with us. Baby starts playing footsie with Chef. I am just in awe of how much he has grown. Over the last month he has gone from baby to almost toddler with looks, expressions and now actions. It won't be long until he is walking. 

Driving to San Antonio to make our monthly payments to everyone we always stop and get gas half way there. This time Chef chose a gas station with McD connected. First thing out of Little Man's mouth "I get out. I get out". 

Me: No baby daddy's just getting gas and mommy is cleaning windows. 

Him: No I get out. I get Mc Donald's. I get out. 

He continues to cry and whine. Daddy comes back and brings a surprise. Daddy hands Little Man a Slurpee. 

Little Man: I want Mc Donald's daddy. 

Chef: Daddy got you Slurpee. 

I get back in car to hear him still saying he wants McDonalds and doesn't want the Slurpee. 

Me: Baby you got a Slurpee!! Wow I wish I could have some. Can I have a drink? 

Little Man: Here I want McDonalds. 

Me: But Slurpee is so much better. It's like if cream. 

Little Man look is surprised. 

Moms job done. Content little kid. 

Tying to potty train my my almost 3 year old... lots of fun in this house. Not!! You would think after 2 boys it would be easy. Not!! He is just not having it. We shall see this is the 3rd attempt of trying to potty train. 1st time was 1 1/2 yrs ago, obviously too soon for him. 2nd attempt we did good but I think the adults in the house got tired of trying to follow through with it a year ago. I know I was as I was due to have baby 4 any day. So now we try again. Little Helper is almost 3. It is definitely time to give it another shot. With Baby boy in diapers, obviously, I am done with two in diapers. 

1:00 pm Is it a thing to take off all clothes and be naked on the toilet?? He takes pants off so he has room to move legs. I get that. But shirt too. He wants it off because he's afraid it will get wet. Like father and son I guess I don't know. 

He then has me go potty. I tell him to not pee on my floor. So what does he do. Hold himself and say he won't pee on my floor lol. As I'm going he proceeds to tell me he wants to get in... Get in where son? The bath mom. He thinks he has to take a bath every time he goes potty.  I finish and he wants to flush it for me. Great we got that down. Now he has to sit again and try. He says mom I can't do it. It's ok baby it won't always work lol boy six year old is complaining from other side of door and he is responding to him trying to tell him it's ok. One minute brother. Then gets mad and upset with me. I don't know how to do it mom. Grunting burying hard to go. Face turning red. Mom I can't do it. I tell him we are all done. He insisted on staying there. I'm ok. After arguing with him to get off the toilet he finally agrees. Ok mom. I wipe my butt. Ok. 10 minutes have gone by the other kids are mad and screaming but he is actually trying to potty train. Woohoo! 

Well it is barely 10 am and we have been up for over 3 hours now... feels so much longer than that. By 830 I already had a screaming child, 9 am a diaper explosion causing the world to stop and focus on the baby (clean down, bathe GOOD, dry off, etc.) then of course since one was in the bath the others want in the bath.... Thank God they are all boys.... Cody jumps in with swim trunk I throw Hector-Ray in the tub and finish with Gabriel. Baby out and clean, Hector-Ray fighting to stay in, Cody yelling so he can shower alone.... Priceless. Now that it is 10 am I have had every kid mad and screaming/crying for one reason or another. Today is a short work day as we are approaching OUR weekend (well not the older boys lol) I just can't wait for my better half to get off already and help with life. We/I miss him so much. He works his butt off then comes home and doesn't stop. He always says if I am up and going he is up and going and well... 90% of the time that is very true. The other 10% is because I let him sleep or rest when he can...... COME ON WEEKEND!!

Oh I forgot to mention.... I get to hear the Sax played this weekend... so happy!!

Day ???? Of trying to potty train this kid and it is kind of going better. I decided to put him in Parents Choice diapers instead of the Luvs he is use to. It has made him realize he is wet and nasty and causes him to go in and go try more often now. I still try to take him in to go but I always fight with him to go. But he knows he has to sit and try before getting another pamper on. He is making progress but I still feel no light at the end of the tunnel. 

Me: why is my butt wet baby?

Little man: I don't know mom. You need to go potty! 

*at least part of potty training is going through! 

Little Man comes running down the hallway. 

Little Man: I go Mc Donald's. Pree please. Pree please. 

We decide to take him. 

We pass Mc Donald's. 

Little Man: Go back dad. Go back!! Dad my Mc Donald's.
