Precious moment

I know this photo looks sad but it is touching too. Connor is a very loving boy but has a hard time keeping his hands to himself. He loves to touch his siblings and Ian is usually a very tolerant person. However I have been trying to get him to say Stop when he doesn't like s/thing or when Connor is sitting on him to push him off. Well right before this picture Connor was pestering Ian and Ian gently pushed Connor in the nose w/his elbow. I mean it was not hard at all very soft but it bumped Connor's head into the tree. So Connor was crying. I told Ian to tell him sorry and Ian is so tenderhearted that he started to cry b/c Connor was hurt. He was trying to keep from crying and he told Connor sorry and Connor had just said "I forgive you". They may not see the significance of this picture but for me it very sweet and tender the love they feel for each other.

The joys of boys...

Just a warning for the weak of stomaugh stop reading right here

Ok, we are sitting at the table well Donnie, Corrin, Kolette and I were after dinner. I had sent the boys to the tub. This is what I heard...

Ian: Connor do you want to smell my underwear? I just tooted and then pooped in them?(the pooping is what we call skid marks.)

I went in to talk to Ian. I only made it as far as the door and a quick peek before I had to leave or else my parental spiel was going to be interrupted by laughter(my own). I then went in and I picked up the underwear and explained what skid marks were. I also told Ian that was gross and not to say that.

Seriously that was not s/thing I had mentally planned for when I 2 boys. But I can see this is going to be quite the ride. I just have to say girls aren't that gross or at least I hope not.
