Today we went to Sam's to buy a few things and we had lunch there. The boys split a hot dog, had a few potato chips and two sips of an orange soda. This was their first time to ever try any carbonated beverage. When they tried it, they gave me the funniest look and then started coughing. When I offered them a second sip a little later, they both shook their head no. They each finally had a second sip when they were almost done with the meal...if you want to call that a meal:). I sat there and felt guilty about what an unhealthy lunch I was feeding them. Terrible momma!
Here are more fun words / phrases the boys are saying:
-- Nick, standing in the living room this morning and pointing outside: "windy!" (it has been VERY windy here today).
-- Nick, after burping the other day: "scuse you".
-- Ben, handing me the letter H as I was walking by the fridge this morning: "H" (I just introduced 'G', 'H' and 'I' yesterday evening). Nick also handed me the letter 'I' and told me "I". I have been introducing three letters at a time, using the magnetic letters that stick to the fridge.They learn so fast!
-- Both boys, first thing in the morning, running towards the big ottoman in the living room where we change diapers: "first! first!" and then pushing and shoving each other away, trying to be the first to get their diapers changed. If Nick wins, Ben throws a big fit and then Nick usually tries to escape before I can change his diaper anyway, after all that fuss.
-- Nick, pulling Ben's pants and diaper out and peeking into them: "poopy?" and then he looks at me and smiles/laughs. He is such a little mimic these days and quite the entertainer.
-- Both boys, sitting in their booster seats at the kitchen island yesterday at snack time, each patting his own chest: "me? me?" (they are trying to understand pronouns)
-- Both boys, sitting in their booster seats at the kitchen island this morning: "daddy work?, daddy work?" Yep, daddy is at work today:).
I am starting to hear more and more two word phrases. This is one of the most exciting things ever! Am I crazy? I find this so exciting and entertaining. I am always explaining to them different things and showing them things, everywhere we go and I always tell them to say such-and-such. It seems that they just have to say something once and they have it down. Kids are just such amazing learners. And it really gets me when they say something that I have not told them to say before but they just picked it up from listening to me talk, such as "windy". What amazing memories and attention to detail! I am in awe.
This is still just the best job ever!!

My attitude is, they just need to get over it. I get the same way. You can't be Mary Freakin Poppins all the time. I am sure they will cut you some slack.
My kids eat better than I do, too.
But you're right, you can't keep
fooling them forever. (I have to
sneak my junk food after they are in bed.)
When we go to Costco, the three of us split one hotdog and one piece of pizza. To make up for it, I either bring along some fruit for them, or give them fruit and yogurt for a snack when we get home.

Ha! I just posted a mommy guilt on Leap of faith about skipping veggies during tonite! And yup Jamie eats much healthier than I do. (I keep my Hersheys dark chocolates with almonds in my bedroom to eat after she goes to bed!)
You're not crazy!! YOU'RE A MOMMY! That stuff should excite you! Hope that the hormones settle and you feel better in a couple days.
Blessings!- Angela :)
I just posted about my inadequacies on my blog. I've also posted that even though we know that we are not the world's best mother, our kids don't.
Costco rocks! My family of 12 has graduated to ordering two of the whole pizzas. :)
God Bless.
