Okay, just had to get this out there right now. What is it with the last one? Or for some of you maybe it's your only one. J is my only one who at his age makes his way into the fridge or freezer whenever he feels like it. Here I was checking out some stuff on the computer and J comes strolling in with an ice pop. "Who gave you that?" "Me, I got myself, Momma you open it fow me, peeeeeeaassssee". "No, first of all you didn't ask, second of all it's not even afternoon yet". "Ooohhh, man!!" (yes, he's a Swiper fan from Dora). I buy the big bag of pretzels from Costco for the kids to have for snack. It usually doesn't fit in my pantry once I've gone grocery shopping and have that filled up with cereals and other dry items. I usually will put them on top of the table (okay, no we all don't sit together at the table and eat, first of all we wouldn't fit at the table we have, second I actually think we have outgrown our kitchen space all together). You know somethings up when all the kids are quiet but especially when J's quiet for a while. I look up from what I'm doing to see him running from the kitchen to the front room where he plays. Okay, maybe he's getting a drink of water. Now that he no longer uses sippy cups for water he has to leave his big boy cup on the counter just like the others do. I go about my business, um, wait the other boys seem to be pretty quiet too....now even when they give in to watching J's shows they're never that quiet. Oh, there goes J all I see is the top of his head going from the kitchen to the front room. Man, he keeps drinking that way he BETTER make sure he makes it the bathroom and in the toilet, not around or a little on the side but inside!! There's nothing worse than having to clean the bathroom especially with 3 boys (but that's a total other story!)! What, there he goes again! Okay wait what's really going on? I get up to see what he's doing. Hmmm, he's working for his brothers, he's the perfect height for me not to really notice him coming in and out of the kitchen, he's quietly doing it too, and he has the perfect size hand to stick inside that big pretzel bag without making any noise from the bag. J was grabbing pretzels running to the front room and handing them over to his brothers, back and forth, he'd go. I walk into the front room and both Jr. and D have their mouths closed with a smile on their face, their hands are in fists on their laps. I ask them "what are you doing?" "mm,mm" "What? I don't understand what your saying, are you eating something?" You could tell they want to chew but then it would give away that they've been using their little brother to sneak them stuff. J looks at them then looks at me "Mama, they eating putzels" "why? I thought you already had your snack?" "Mama, I sharing, that what boys say I do". "Well, J that was very nice of you if your brothers had decided to have pretzels as their snack but they didn't and that was your snack". Sneaky boys, I told them no more. J said "No mow, fow you boys". J walked back into the kitchen and grabbed more for himself. Well, can't leave that there anymore seeing as J will help himself to them all day and I'll start finding broken pretzels trails all over where J has been playing.
Oh, okay, now it's back to normal there's the noise I was missing they're back to playing as usual...
Ugh, J he's a busy boy who make me even busier!!!
Just a Mom having to share a little in the middle of the day..........I'll be back later
