Quirks

Kael has his quirks.  He is the funniest child.


If he insists on wearing something a certain way....you just let him go with it.


He is so sensitive and hates to be scolded or put in timeout. 


He loves to dress-up and ham it up for the camera.


He wants to be "big" so bad.  He wants to wear the big boy underwear but wants NOTHING to do with what comes with wearing underwear.  The other day he wanted a toy at the store and I told him that we could buy it if he learned to use the potty, he immediately told me, "I'll just ask Santa." 
{he may never be potty trained...because i hate it....and he drinks A LOT!}



The world is his canvas....along with the wall, refrigerator, floor, carpet, table, and his sheets.


He loves hats.


He licks the center out of the Oreo's and refuses to eat the actual cookie.


In the rare moment he pulls an absolute tantrum....sometimes I think the walls will fall down.


He is a mess....always.  We go through at least 3 shirts a day.  
He is my Pigpen. 
{p.s. that was half of a kit kat bar. and yes, it is everywhere.}


After being bit by a dog in May, he is warming back up to them.


He always wants a "fip" of your drink. 
He loves to drink.


His favorite saying: "My do it." 



He has to bring all of his friends with him...wherever we go.
It's fun when he chooses his Toy Story friends.  He drops one of them every two feet and then bends over to pick it up and then drops another one.  
{it makes me laugh even though he is disgusted.}



He has a major sweet-tooth.


He loves his older brother more than anything.


He loves to pull all of the blankets off of each of the beds and put them in a giant pile.
Everyday.
{this is not my favorite.  especially because he chooses to do this after i have made each bed in the house.}


He will eat anything.


He loves to make messes when I am in the shower.  
Such as mixing the clean laundry with the dirty laundry.


He is a child marketers dream.  He wants everything on any toy commercial he sees.  
He picked out a few {7} of his favorite things at the Disney Store and told Grandma, "My ready to go!"  I am sure you are.


The only child I know that can dismember and maim his toys in a matter of moments.
{his disney store treasures}


He loves to play with little things.  He is so good to sit and entertain himself when we are busy.
{especially when we moved twice in a week}


He lets his brother teach him things. 
{this doesn't look like it could end in disaster at all.}


He wants to be big just like his brother.  He wishes he could go to preschool so bad.  Peyton is pretty good to share his preschool goodies with his little brother.

No matter where his older brother falls asleep he has to sleep next to him. 
If he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't see his brother he will come and wake me up to see where he is.  

He is the sweetest, messiest, most hyper little boy in the world.

We love him!

Peaceful






They look so peaceful when they're asleep, don't they? 
I can almost hear the peace oozing out of this picture.  Probably because 25 minutes before I was most likely breaking apart a WWF wrestling match taking place in my living room.


Bedtime is such a circus in my house.  They know when it is coming.  So what do they do?  Get wound up tighter than a drum...and then start wrestling each other...or chasing each other...or jumping off a bed somewhere.  We sing songs, read a story, say family prayer and send them to slumber.  The part that doesn't happen is the "slumber".  They giggle, fight, scream, cry, talk until their eyelids won't stay open any longer.  Some nights this process is so long....to the point I am ready to change my name to anything other than "Mom".  They need a drink, Pey needs to go to the bathroom, Pey is bugging the pillow-pet light, Kael poked my cheek.  
I don't care. Go. to. bed.  NOW.

And when they finally give up the fight and sleep, I love to go see where they decided to give in.  Sometimes it's in the hall, in the doorway, and almost NEVER in their bed.  
It cracks me up and makes me crazy at the same time.

But I do love this.  And especially when they look so alike....and so peaceful.
{i promise.  this is how i found them.}

Pumpkin for brother.


Peyton came home with a pumpkin that his teacher had given him. She let them put a face on their pumpkin with stickers.  He was so excited to bring it home to show Kael and I.  As soon as Peyton pulled it out Kael was sad. Peyton immediately told Kael that he could hold his pumpkin.
 {i love moments like this}


I love this picture. 
 Kael is gripping that pumpkin....holding onto a piece of his dream....going to preschool with Pey.
He wants to go to school so bad.  Every day after we drop Peyton off at school and are walking back to the car he hangs his little head and says, "I want to be big, Mom.  I want to go to school with Pey."  It is so cute.  When we pick Peyton up Kael starts asking him all kinds of questions.
  "Did you play with Michael, Pey?" 
 "Did you go down the fireman pole, Pey?"  
"Michael is really cool, Pey."
"I think Andrew is funny too, Pey."
I love it...as if he was right there along with Peyton, playing with all of his friends.  It is so sweet to me.  He thinks the world of his older brother.  He loves him.  He is his comfort.

I know sometimes I swear that I will never have any of my other children two years apart but I am so grateful that they are so close.  Kael needed Peyton in his life and Peyton needs Kael. 
They are such a handful yet so perfect for each other.

Bad day.


No matter how bad my day might feel....


at least this hasn't happened yet.
{knock on wood.}

:)

My best to the guy who was standing on the side of the freeway watching his car burn.
I sort of know how you feel.

Handsome.


"Hey Kael, I can make you as handsome as me!"


Becoming Handsome
According to Peyton.


 Step 1: Get LOTS of mousse.

 Step 2:  Then you style.

Step 3:  Last you use the hairspray.  Make sure you get real close. 


"Now you're handsome, Kael."
:)
