Monkey See Monkey Do!

This weekend I got a good taste of what it would be like to have back to back kids! I also got to see the HUGE difference between little boys and girls. My brother in law and I took the kids to the Clearbrook game on Friday. It was so funny when around the 3rd quarter he asked if we could leave!! This is my life: Football field chasing a child! You mean they actually play a sport at those things!?! Well Saturday I guess the men needed a break from all their hard work parenting (ha! that’s funny) so they went golfing and I had the monkey’s. Well I quickly learned that a 1 year old needs a lot more attention than my 2 year old. 1 year olds do not watch movies, they do not listen and they do not understand climbing on things and falling will hurt! With that being said Trenton did a great job of showing her how to climb on everything keeping Raelynn busy! They played and played and of course did not nap (those are over rated anyways). It was nice to watch Trenton show her how to play choo-choo or tell her NO when she was in his way of climbing on everything ! He is going to make an awesome big brother in a few years!!

Look how pretty this little Angel is!

Girls: Cry when little boys run into them with dump trucks

Boys: Laugh when they do it

Trenton showing Rae-rae how to put the trains together (notice the big boy bed behind him!)

This is what happens when you walk away to throw a load of laundry in….I did not get the picture of the chair on top of her for fear her Dad would never let me watch her again! 

Ok Rae-rae you climb up here and lift this up and Mommy gets very mad!This move had her laughing over and over! Don’t they look guilty?After being together all day Trenton accomplished teaching her how to climb up there! Her Dad was not impressed!Classic move in our house…over the couch, into the window, roll down couch….REPEATLook at T’s face. He is none impressed that his Mommy is holding someone else. It was pretty funny because the two of them were so jealous of one another! The boys got home and I made a break for it. Haircut, trip to Target and grocery shopping have never felt so good! I had a great time, but learned a lot. Girls cry over everything. Its hard to tell them to “shake it off” without feeling awful. BUT I would do it again. To see how well Raelynn and Trenton played together made it worth it!!!
