I need to play catch up on some things that Abram and Harlee have been doing or saying!
Both kids have been having some listening issues and I feel like I have to talk all day. They have both been a little sick and so sensitive and emotional lately, so needless to say I feel a little more exhausted than usual, but I'm thankful for every minute of it!!
Abram
Abram has been his usual funny self, but he has started getting into trouble a little more than he usually does. Since Abram has turned three over a year ago, he is pretty well behaved. He is very hyper usually, but I know how to bring him down and get him calm usually. His excitement and emotions are usually what end up getting him in trouble and here lately he has been acting like a two year old again instead of a four year old, but I think it is just a little stage he is going though.
Abram made my day today! I made up a funny joke for him and he smiled so big and said, "mommy, you crack me up like spongebob does!" I could have cried! lol. That was the biggest compliment he has ever given me! This kids LOVES Spongebob! (mainly because I do not, and he thinks its hilarious that I do not like him). He also, told me recently that he thought a girl on TV was pretty and that I should jump into the TV too, because I was pretty like her! It is so sweet to hear your sweet baby say that you are pretty!
The day mom was leaving from visiting she was drinking a bottled dt.mt.dew and Abram saw that it was almost gone. He asked if he could put it in the fridge for her, so that she could finish it later. It was cute, but kind of sad to me. It was like he thought if he kept her drink that it was guaranteeing he would see her again soon! I love the way a four year olds mind works. He loves to play pretend and has such a good imagination, which I think is so important! While I was watching Iron Chef last night, he went to Harlee's kitchen and started cooking. He came over to me and said, "here you go mam" "here is your food and water and your ticket." He asked, "do you think your husband will want something?:" "I know Stephen likes hamburgers a lot, but I'm all out!" I told him thank you and I asked him what his name was and he said, "SIng song wing wong Abram ping pong Abram!" Then he hurried and said, "no, just Abram Johnston!" I love playing like that with him. I'm 25 and still think make believing is fun!!
Abram has been doing a lot better about wanting to learn. I'm so thankful. He has great memory skills. He is awesome at memory games. I hate to get frustrated with a four year old for not wanting to even try to do his numbers and letters, but I know just how smart he is. We have tried everything imaginable to make learning fun. Recently, we purchased Leap Frog DVDs. He really has responded well to those! He is going to start preschool in the fall for a couple of days a week and I really hope that helps! He is really nervous about going to school, but he keeps telling me that his teacher will be so proud when he does good!! Lately, he has been talking more about school and talking more about letters and numbers without being made to!
Harlee
Lately, Ms. Harlee, has been a handful! She has always been stubborn, but it is getting horrible!! She knows no boundaries and doesn't care about any consequences! She keeps this mommy busy and my head spinning! lol. She is so passionate about everything and she doesn't hold back to show how she is feeling, so that makes for a very loud day! She loves to scream! Sometimes she screams just because and other times it because God forbid, Abram may have touched her or looked her way!! Even though she can be the meanest little thing, she is still mommy's number one love bug! She gives the best love. It is like she always knows when you need to here "I love You" or when you need a hug. She melts my heart everyday when she randomly comes up to me numerous times a day and wraps her little arms around me and says, "I wus you mommy!"
Harlee has recently started spanking her babies! We rarely give the kids a spanking. I may pop their hands, but I usually do time outs or take something away. Harlee obviously thinks spanking is a hilarious thing, because she will get her babies and lay them in her lap and give them a spanking and smile so big and say, "watch dis mommy!" I've tried to get her to stop spanking them. I told her it wasn't nice, that they were just babies! She isn't buying it! lol.
Harlee thinks that Nana buys her everything she has! Everyday it is something. "did Nana buy dis?" "pretty, Nana got it!" The child thinks we do nothing for her! She always keeps us laughing! She is starting to carry on really long conversations! lol They start out making sense and then she gets carried away and we no longer understand her words. I play along with her and she loves that! Last night she was going on and on and I would say, " you have got to be kidding me" and she would reply back with something else I didn't understand completely. At the end of our conversation, I asked, "you're not the police, are you?" and finally she says something I understand and she says, "yes, OK I am." I laughed so hard and she just stared at me trying to figure out what she did so funny!
I'll wrap this up with a couple of funny highlites from this week. My kids have been going around saying, "I'm a Martian." and they say it in an alien voice. Its so cute to hear! Also, Abram named one of Harlee's dolls Peepee. While on the phone with mom, he said, "when I come see you, do you want to see my Peepee?" LOL! Thankfully, mom knew that Peepee was a doll from a previous conversation!!
