Mid-Winter Break

This past weekend and the week so far have been awesome! My nephew spent all of his mid-winter break with Aunt Kelly and Uncle Bill. He had a blast hanging out with his new cousins. He ended up going home and telling his mom he wants a little brother! My sister said no way! She's happy with two kids.

Since we've had so much snow, we decided to take the boys sledding. They had so much fun the first day, we went a second day. All of us took turns flying down the hill. Lawrence and Willliam had no fear whatsoever. They each took turns zipping down the hill on their own with Mama or Papa not too far behind, of course. Papa decided it would be fun to give Lawrence a big push. Well, he zoomed down the hill and then about half way down he hit a huge bump and flew off his sled. We anxiously waited to see if was okay or if he would stand up with tears. Well, the second one happened. He was crying because he had a pretty bad bloody nose. We got him all cleaned up and he was right back at sledding. The bloody nose didn't stop him from doing more sledding!

The rest of the weekend was a lot of fun and our boys just loved spending time with their cousin. There will be more sleepovers in the future, full of lots of laughs and good times!

Poor little William was inconsolable tonight. He fell asleep kind of late for a nap so I had to wake him up to eat some dinner. I sat him down at the table and not five minutes after sitting him down, he says he has to go potty. Well, he really had to go and barely made it. He had some difficulties with his aim, probably because he still wasn't completely awake yet. He hit the floor, the toilet seat, and his pants, so those had to go. I decided not to put more pants on because he would taking a bath soon and be putting on his PJs.

I put William back in his seat at the table and the next thing I know, he's sobbing. He wanted new pants and refused to eat his dinner. I carried him upstairs to his bed so he could relax and maybe go back down to eat. While he's relaxing, I go ahead and get their clothes ready for school tomorrow. William starts crying even more! I'm confused and a little frustrated because I can't figure out why he's crying. I finally get him calmed down enough to try and talk him through why he's crying. Turns out, he's upset about a combination of things: he wanted new pants, no school, and he'd rather be home with mama! That just melted my heart!

Any way, things continue to go well! We love our boys to pieces and they are really starting to more comfortably show that love back. We are blessed to have these boys in our lives!

Peace,
Kelly
