December update coming soon!
Until then...Quickie Update:
-Braxton (on the pottie): "I'm trying to go poop, but its not coming out! (smacks his bum) Come on poo! Get out of my bum!"
-"I had a dream last night about a big giant circle...and it was trying to eat me!"
-B-rax LLLOOOOOVVVEESSS anything and everything to do with Super Mario
-He is FOUR years old now! I can't believe it...
-I was called a "mean mommie" for the first time in my mothering career, by B-rax of course, because he could not have candy before dinner. I didn't mind one bit.
-Bella: "Where is my shoe? Oh! There it is! Oh I love it!"
-Bella knows the alphabet, can count to 20 and knows all her colors
-She LOVES her Daddy and sings "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home" every day with him when he gets home from work
-She is constantly sharing her food with the dogs, no matter how many times I ask/tell her not to. SHe will take a bite, ("One for me..") then give one to Marley, ("...one for Marley...") and then give one to Loui ("..and one for Loui!") and do that throughout her whole meal. The dogs love it. Me, not so much.
-Conrad is crawling like a champ and pulling himself up onto anything and everything.
-He has cut four teeth in one month.
-He won't eat baby food, but loves little pieces of anything mom puts into her mouth. (Except baby food....)
-He is my big fluffy marshmallow!
-"Gagagaga" was his favorite word today...ALL day

-LOVES going outside, and gets mad at me whenever I walk by the back door and don't go through it to go out
