A little of this, a little of that

1.  I never officially told you that the baby over here is none other than CHLOE JANE :)

2.  Liam took a sip out of the holy water bowl at church a few weeks ago....just a little sip- no biggie, right?  He's still here so I guess it was okay.

3.  Liam is also the boy who attempted to pull up flowers at Longwood Gardens when we went in December.  Luckily, the flowers were not actually planted so they just lifted right out and went right back in...whew!

4.  Yesterday, Chloe jumped off of the ottoman onto the floor.  She landed on her feet and did a quick balance check with her hands...ridiculous...this girl is going to give me a heart attack for sure.

5.  Chloe is the first child to actually require the highchair safety strap.  By the time the boys could have stood up in the chair, they were too big to squirm out if the tray was in as close as possible.  Chloe, who is smaller, was standing up on her highchair yesterday when I turned around to hand her a sandwich.   Safety strap is now in place...she is not happy with the restriction.

6.  Michael was arguing with me about something he didn't want to do.  I repeated my direction and then told him that I am the Mommy and I am in charge.  He told me that I was just kidding myself (WTH?!).  I told him that he wouldn't think I was kidding when he ended up in his room in timeout.  He had no further comment.

7.  Michael drew a picture of me and then asked me how to spell "Mommy".  He then asked me how to spell "Jane".  We've been talking alot about names and spelling.  And I sort of like the idea that he wanted to include my 'other name' on his picture.
