Our Kids

The babysitter (kelly) is working out really well. She is able to get everyone to sleep, teeth brushed, books read and happy which is such a treat for us. It is our first real out of the family babysitter and I have to admit I was a bit nervous when we used her last but this time went even better than last time and every angel was asleep when we arrived. Ah……that is nice.

The girls have taken to calling me “mama.” Everyone thinks it is cute, except for me:) HA! I guess it is sort of cute but I hear it so much during the day it loses some of its charm.

“Milkie Mama”
“Mama, I have to potty”
“Can I do this Mama?”

You get the gist. I think that they get it from the Berenstain Bears because we have been reading a lot of those books and everyone in them is called Mama, Papa, Brother and Sister Bear. Although Jason has gotten away without getting called Papa somehow.

Landis has had her first real poo. You can now tell when she has to go or is trying to go which is a good thing, she is learning what that feels like and I am learning her bowel routine. Turns out she is more like my side of the family and is a slow digester, yeah I know TMI:)

She also has two lower front teeth that are above the gums. So that means that she can bite me when she is done nursing, we are still sorting that out. I tell you between her razor sharp fingernails and teeth I am feeling a bit tender, HA! All in a day’s work, man oh man this is a tough job:)
