Sweet Moments

Sweet moments with Pumpkin:

I was singing to her in her crib at night and she reached her little hand up and grabed my hand and pulled it to her face. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. What a precious little angel.

Her new thing is to grab your face or neck and squeeze as hard as she can and give you big open mouth "kisses". She slobbers up your face. Very cute.

Sweet moments with Kanoba:

I was singing Kanoba some songs for nap time and I was singing I'm so glad with Daddy comes Home from the Children's Hymn Book but I substitued Daddy with "Kanoba". I got to the end and sang "And give him what? A great BIG kiss" and planted a huge kiss on his check. He said "Not a song kiss mom, a REAL kiss" and gave me the gentlest, sweetest kiss on the lips. Melted my heart. I am going to have to keep the girls away from him when he is older!

This is just a funny thing he said. We were coming home from having a picnic at my parent's campground and he was SO upset that we weren't camping. He said "I want to go on a picnic!" I said, "You mean camping?" He said "No, a picnic-fire-tent!" Well, I guess that Kanobism has all the aspects of camping! I felt so bad so we came home and set up this:

And just for some updates:

Ever since my last post, Pumpkin has been sleeping from 9:30 or 10ish to 4 ish straight or later!! Whew. She is also sleeping in her crib for a good 1 1/2 hr. naps. Putting herself to sleep without crying much too. I think she knew I had ranted a little about her sleeping habits and she didn't want to lose her reputation as being the best baby ever. (Little does she know she definitely has her moments.) Mommy has been feeling much better and more her self.

Also, as of the day I last posted, Kanoba decided out of the blue, on his own that he was potty training. We have gone 3 days with NO poopy accidents (I am still in shock) and just 3 pee accidents (and just partial ones). Where did this kid come from? I can't even remember how many times we have tried potty training. I don't want to say we are there yet cuz we definitely aren't, but I am celebrating the little success! I am so happy for Kanoba! (And me- no more big boy poopy diapers I hope! Of course we just started solids with Pumpkin and now her diapers stink. Ahh, isn't that just life?)
