Tell me a story

Every night after we read our books Sam asks me to tell him a story – I always end it with “The End”.

Last night I asked him to tell me a story....

Sam: Once there was a little boy named Sam.

          The End

          Once there was house. The End.

          Once there was a mouse. The End

          Once there was Piper. The End

          Laughing  

          Was that a good story?

Ummm…. No…. lol

Speechless

Sam is drawing pictures

Sam: Mommy does this look like a piece of bread?

Me: Yes it does! Are you drawing a piece of bread?

Sam: Umm, no Mommy it’s a rainbow! Why would I draw a piece of bread?

Me: speechless

Christmas gifts

As I was putting together the kids teacher's gifts for Christmas I thought it would be cute to have Sam pick out something for his teacher – who he LOVES!! So, we went to Target, of course! He found a gingerbread man box and picked out some candy and was happy with his gift. Two days later he decides he needs more stuff for the box and asks me what I have. I give him a few options and he picks them out and stick them in the box. Wednesday night I put some tissue paper in it and left it downstairs. Thursday morning I am in the bathroom getting ready for work and Sam comes in asking where the box is – I ask him why? He says he needs to put more stuff in it – I tell him its full – he starts to get upset cuz he REALLY wants the box so I tell him where it is. He brings it in my closet and takes out the tissue paper and is looking around for something – he spots my ribbon and decides yes, ribbon – she likes to craft (says Sam) so e wants 3 pieces – one big, one bigger, and one biggest. The he puts them in the box – and said “Mommy, is it lovely?” yes it is! “Is it beautiful?” yep! “Will it be Miss Tammy’s favorite gift?” Maybe! He carried to downstairs and held it in the car and carried it into school – he was sooo Proud of himself – very sweet! Miss Tammy said that he took everything out the box and explained to her what it was - haha

I got the teachers these little carry all totes along with a target gift card. I used this idea before and loved so I did it for the gift cards. I opened a pop-top can from the bottom and then filled it with shredded paper and the gift card and glued the bottom back on. I found the wrapper online and it says “Good Tidings we bring to you in a tin” =)

 

When they return in January Hannah will be moving up to the older toddlers (my baby is growing up) room and Sam will be getting a new Teachers Aid in his classroom. Here’s to a seamless transition!

You are Loved

Singing will ease your pain

Hannah is constipated again –well she is going but she cries….it sucks. Last night in the bath tub I made it a little extra warm and a little deeper in the hopes it would help her poop – well it worked! I knew she was going to poop so I grabbed Sam out of the tub and let Hannah do her thing – she was upset and you could tell she was in pain – I just kept pouring warm water over her back to keep her warm and Sam decided to sing

Sam in his 4yr old singing voice:

 

Just relax Hannah and the poopies will come out

Relax….relax…relax

Just one more minute and the poopies will come out

We loooovvveeee youuuuuuuu!

Mommy, Hannah stopped fussing – I think my singing worked! And look she pooped!

Yes she did
