Holy cow... I just came across this unposted blog entry from SEVEN months ago (3/16/11)... no time like the present to post it, I guess... MBG
=========================
Lots to update, but again I find myself clicking away late at night when I should be in bed, so finding time to blog again alludes me. So, random musings to follow:
Davis pee-peed on the potty three times today, which is great because despite my best efforts, it's become a stand-off lately. "Let's put on your BIG BOY Undies!" followed by, "NO! I want Elmo diaper!" quickly followed by, "Okay, Momma ain't gonna fight ya..."
If I could just dedicate some time to it, I am sure he'd be a quick study, but I'm still waiting to catch my breath most of the time. Jack's continuing to love First Grade, and his teacher challenges him and appreciates him, which is all I could ever hope for for my special boy. He's going on his first GT Field Trip where they'll be looking at different structures downtown to go along with his Architecture unit. I'd go with them, but it's too dang hot.
The assignment reminded me of a big Architecture paper we had to do in High School on which I totally cheated and got caught and created a huge scandal within the MacArthur GT English program. It was totally embarrassing for me AND my parents, but was good for some laughs at the 10-year reunion.... "Hey Melissa, remember how you got caught in that GT English scandal, and the next year the whole school had to sign the now-famous MacArthur High School Code of Honor?" Yes, yes I do, thank you very much. I also remember saying, "They should call it the Lynch Code of Honor, in MY honor!" Yep, fun (mature) times.
Anyway, Davis is talking so much more and saying such funny things. He's SO different from Jack Everett at this age, but his little personality is starting to come through more every day. He has never met a stranger and says hello to EVERYONE at stores, walking along the street, etc. I asked him today, "Davis, do you know what Jack's MIDDLE name is?" He said, "Brudder." Awwww... He can also make some mean sound effects for his age... spaceships, explosions, "shooters." (a.k.a. guns), he can do 'em all.
We enjoyed a Valentine's Day photo shoot with them at a friend's house and captured these cute shots. Davis got his "boot" off - yes, he broke his foot jumping off a bookshelf and the cast was on for six weeks - a few days after these pics were taken, and he will tell anyone he meets, "Docker taked my boot off!"
