Wee Wilson Tales

Misplacing my keys, purse, phone...well it happens regularaly. However, I usually find them pretty quickly. Not so much this time. Let's just say that it started with Jax playing with my keys and setting off the car alarm Friday night (two different times) - then I tried to put them where he wouldn't get to them again. Now they are no where to be found! Maybe I hid them really good. Or maybe I didn't hide them good enough, Jax got them again and he put them somewhere. Either way, the keys didn't leave my house ... and I didn't realize they were missing until Monday morning when I was ready to leave. I've had a key made for my car now, so I can drive again. I broke into my car with a coat hanger and confirmed they aren't in the car. I'm slowly working my way through the house looking, but nothing yet. And, all my work keys were on there. And only people that work at NWCC can understand what a hassle this part is. I feel as if I might have to get permissi...

We took Jax to see his first movie on Tuesday night (6/23). We went to see UP. It was a really cute movie. I didn't know how Jax would do since he is a VERY active 2 year old, to say the least. But it was not too bad. We made it through the whole movie without walking out. And he managed to wait to use the potty until after it was over. The only thing that didn't work too well, was the 3D glasses. When he leaned back in his seat, it pushed the glasses forward on his head. Then they would fall. John had to get them once from the aisle below us, and I spilled the raisins once when I was trying to help him put them back on. But overall, it was a good first!

We had a good Father's day! Actually it was a great weekend. On Sunday we swam, went to Target, and then to visit John's dad. Even though we had a great weekend, the boys do have hand/foot/mouth disease. I hate that it's called a "disease" since I'm such a freak about stuff like this anyway. But they got it from Harlee Kate, and we were unable to go to church at all on Sunday. I guess it's been the best kind of sick because they've been able to swim and play like nothing is wrong. They don't have much of a rash at all anyway. Just a few red dots and a couple of blisters. Since our friend Troy has been back home, we are always cooking some fun stuff. He came over Friday night, and we (he) made fried tacos. Saturday we swam and had grilled chicken, twice baked potatoes, and sausage/cheese plate. My parents came and ate with us on Saturday night. It was really yummy! On Sunday, we went to John's dad's house in Batesville . Jax always has...

Yesterday Ro hit the 9 month mark!! It is so crazy how fast he is growing. Just last week I realized that he won't be able to wear Jax's 12 month clothes because they are all winter. After trying the 18 month summer clothes, I was shocked to find out that they fit! Stats : He will have his check-up on the 29 th , so I'll post his weight/height then. But I think he's close to 20 lbs. He's such a great baby! Sleep : He is currently sleeping from 7 pm to 8 am. Sometimes I just have to wake him up before I leave for work to get a hug. We don't have to rock this boy or anything. He's just too easy. He naps twice a day. Usually one short one (1 hr) and one long one (2-3 hrs). Eating : He will eat anything I give him at this point. He's starting to prefer to eat finger foods that he can pick up himself. He loves apples, bananas, honeycombs, and Ritz crackers. He's also eaten a little grilled cheese and likes that too. He is starting to drink less formul...

I LOVE summer. I love the green grass, the hot sun, the hot hot hot sun, the long summer days when the sun is still out at 8:00, the lightning bugs, the fans running in every room, and of course the pool. So we've been having us some summer fun! Jax is all over the pool by himself this year with the floaties. We have to keep a close eye on him regardless, because he will sometimes get a mouthful of that always tasty chlorine water. But he's loving that we are trying to swim every afternoon when we get home now. He's also been helping me to water the plants and cool off the concrete with the water hose. On one of the rainy days, we all sat down and played with play dough. Let me just tell you...do not be persuaded to EVER by 26 jars of play-dough. I think we bought it during one of the big Christmas sales for just a few dollars, but I'd rather have spent more for just 5 jars. Jax wanted to open every single one of them. I was trying to keep it on the table or sheet, and...

The good: We had a good turnout this year, and everyone seemed to have fun. The puppets were my kids' favorite thing about VBS. Jax's class sang This Little Christian Light of Mine and recited a memory verse (Jesus wept.) :) The Bad: We were only able to go 2 nights because of my work stuff. And John stayed with Ronin the second night because Ro had some random rash. Which means that John and Ro missed Jax's class saying their memory verse and singing, the magic show, and the ice cream supper. The Ugly: While Jax's class was singing their song in front of the church, he tried to do flips, jumped, and started to dance a little. Then he was so excited that he RAN towards the pugh and tripped. His head hit (very hard) against the wooden tray that holds song books under the pugh. I hyperventilated in front of the entire church and then ran out with him screaming. It was a little dramatic ... if you know me. I was most upset because he hit right at his temple and it den...

Every party has a pooper and that's why we invited you.... Potty Pooper , Jax Wilson. Okay, so I've watched Father of the Bride too many times, because that line is the first thing that came to mind when I started this blog . . . Jax is doing so great with his potty training. He is all about taking care of his business on the potty now. And most of the time, if you ask him what he's been up to, he will tell you " poopoo and teetee in potty." He now goes all by himself to the potty to tee-tee and poo-poo. Sometimes I have to help him when he has on jeans and boots.....which I'm having a hard time getting him to wear anything but that. But this week he's even stopped asking for stickers to put on his chart. I am forcing the pull up on him at night because he typically will still get wet in the wee hours of the morning. But he doesn't want to wear them. He really wants to wear his underwear all the time. But mastering the issue of pooping in the...
