Since this is my personal blog where I document memorable things about my boys, I guess I can post this. I guess this is what I have to look forward to with boys. Just wasn't sure this kind of "talk" would happen so soon. The boys have a great baby sitter. And she has two sons that are absolutely wonderful with my sons. I guess you could call them "older brothers".
Last night Cade and Mason were in the bath together. I was rinsing Cade's hair under the faucet and Mason was in front of him. Mason reached over to try to grab Cade's dingaling. And yes, that's what we call it. Well, at least that's what I thought we called it. Cade yelled "hey, Mason is trying to grab my balls!" Yes, I was shocked. I said where did you hear that. He saw the shock on my face. He said "that's what Alec calls his back." I said "his back?" He said "his legs". I said really. I said is that what he calls his dingaling. And Cade said yes. I said we don't say that word. He said "is it bad?" I said "well, when you call your dingaling that, yes, it's bad." I guess when he was outside with Mike, Mike also told him it was bad and he said "yeah that's what momma said." I was so not ready for this kind of talk yet. But I guess I have to accept the fact that my boys have older brothers....so they might pick up "older boy" lingo. About that lingo, why do they have to be so crude. :)

Times to remember and things I miss
While Cade has excellent verbal skills he still says some things that remind me he's still just a little guy. Nana was at the house talking about getting a new birdfeeder at their house. She was talking about a woodpecker they have. Cade told us that he was "going to shoot that peckerwood." Yeah, we laughed. He really thinks this is the correct way to say that word. It's one of those things like "lickafish" that we find funny so I won't correct him. Mostly I have corrected when he says a word not quite right. But sometimes a parent has to get a little enjoyment out of what kids come up. And yes we still snicker a little about the cuss words. I know it won't be funny when he drops an f-bomb in kindergarten.....
We went to Hot Springs to the horse races last weekend. It was a much needed couple days away for me. I missed both boys terribly but it was nice to get to do what I wanted without having to worry about anyone else. The boys stayed with my mom while we were gone. I think they did fine. But Mason grew a lot while I was gone. He's all the sudden taller and thicker. And while I was gone, he quit being as much of a cuddler at bedtime as he use to be. He will rock with me and drink a bottle. Sometimes he will fall asleep while drinking it. I will just sit and rock him because I enjoy that time. But if he doesn't fall asleep right away he's a wallower. I'll try and get him to cuddle but he'll have nothing of it. Really he just wants to lay down in his bed and suck his thumb or talk to himself. I'm going to miss the cuddly baby stage. No, I don't want anymore babies but that is one stage that will be forever missed...
I now have two very active toddler boys. New and fun experiences are ahead for us!

Wow, these boys are busy!
I haven't been on here to post anything in awhile....because, well, 2 small boys are very busy! The first of the year brought birthday number 3 for Cade and birthday number 1 for Mason. As happens with 2nd children, Mason's first birthday party wasn't quite the to-do as Cade's first birthday party. Quite frankly, I was too tired to plan a big fan fare for a little guy who didn't care about the fan fare. He had the people there that are most important to him and he had cake. What else is there?!
The boys are good. The birthdays brought doctors' visits. We changed pediatricians this year due to an insurance change. We now see a doctor in Neosho. I have to say I was apprehensive switching because I like who we were seeing. But I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. The convenience of being in Neosho is wonderful! And the doctor is very thorough and straight to the point. And he told me something that I hadn't really thought of until he said it. He was talking about his twin granddaughters who are 2. And he said "well, you basically have twins here because they are so close in age." I'd never thought of it that way. But we kind of do. They are close enough in age and young enough that they still have a lot of the same needs. I think it will be wonderful in the long run how close they are in age.
Cade is talking like he's a teenager. I know you are saying but he's only 3. Just have a conversation with him and you'll know what I mean. He already calls girls "smokin hot". And yes, he seems to know what smokin hot is. He likes to look at the Victoria's Secret catalog becauase "the girls are pretty". And he manages to throw in a few cuss words here and there. I can't forget the talking back and arguing either! If it wasn't for his short stature and the fact that he still wears diapers...I might think I have a teenager.
Mason has been a pro at the physical stuff. Where Cade excelled early with the talking, Mason has excelled with the motor skills. He's been walking since he was 10 months ago. He has been walking backwards. He just doesn't say much. He's at that stage of screaming...he screams when he's happy, he screams when he's mad, he screams when his sad, he pretty much screams. And let me tell you, this scream is loud and annoying! I will be so glad when he can talk. He says a few words...he can say momma, he can say dada, he can say papa, he can say what I think is ball...etc. The one thing that I find funny that he says is Max. Max is the name of the sitter's dog. He says this clearly. What I find funny is that all dogs are Max. Doesn't matter what kind of dog or whose dog....they are all Max.
Cade has a John Deere gator that the Days brought to our house and left. Since yesterday was the first pretty day that we could get outside, we got it out. Cade was driving and we strapped Mason in there with him. They were so cute riding around the yard in that thing. Of course, Cade thought it was funny to chase the dog with it....yeah, he's a little ornery. And he gets that from his dad!
