The kids are finally dressing themselves. I always love to see them come out of their bedroom and to see what it is that they are wearing. Sometimes they are inside out or backwards, but it always is cute. 3/1/14

This morning Reese informed me at breakfast that, "you're my favoritist mom in the whole wide world! I love you." I love you too sweetheart. 3/1/14

Superman

Every night before JJ goes to bed he always does one thing, his superman. He stands back in the hallway and says, "don't try this at home." He gets a running start and throws his body on his bed shouting, "superman!" He's thrilled if he can "stick his landing" and not fall off of the bed. We've progressed from the back flop that would land him on the floor to him almost clearing his bed. He is truly my little super hero.

JJ's first joke

Tonight JJ asked me, "do you want to hear a joke mom? It's really funny." Yes was my response. He began, "why are there so many flies in Caledonia?" "I don't know, why?" I responded. "Because they are covered in mud," He told me as he let out this big laugh. I don't get it, but it sure was funny to hear him tell me a joke.

Tonight's Prayer

We spent the day playing together as I had a snow day. I then got the call tonight that I would not have school again tomorrow. We were all so excited. Then as we were saying our prayers tonight JJ prayed, "Dear. God, please help momma not have school anymore. I hope that she doesn't have school and won't get frozen as she drives to school if she has it. I love Frozen, frozen the movie. Amen."

Prayer

Tonight, JJ told me that he wanted to say his prayers tonight. He starts out, "Dear God, thanks for Mimi, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Reese, JJ, Mom, Dad, and everyone I love." He loves to add to it….."Aaand, I like momma cause she's a cooker and makes me food. Aaaand… I like you cause you the best." Aaaaand…..I love momma's heart. Aaaand…..you know who I really love????? Santa!" What a kid.

Little Helper

Reese hurt her foot an JJ was comforting her. He brought her her lamb and baby. Then he went to get her a tissue and proceeded to wipe her nose until she stopped crying.
