olivia.

we've gotten into a bad habit.  before bed, the three of us hop onto mom's couch, (ie. mine and clint's bed.  don't ask.  i think pratt calls it moms couch because i'm always on it.  hey, don't judge me.  i'm over here growing fingernails and skulls.  what have you done today?!)

anyway, we get up there and watch a couple of episodes of shows.  or maybe just one.  it all depends on the time and how tired pratt is.  and really, how tired dad and i are. 

tonight, it was just me and pratt.  first, we watched dora.  it was about 5 minutes from being over...but he knew it.  because he's seen that particular episode a million times.  so he leans over to me, and says, "mom...i watch another one.  bue's cues, dae go, mickey mouse cubhouse, max and ruby, chuggington?  peas, mom!  peas!"

i started laughing because i knew i couldn't tell him no. today has been such a good day.  he's obeyed every time we've asked him to.  he hasn't thrown any fits.  he's really been excellent. 

about the time i was going to say, "yes, sure.  we can watch one more.", he leans over to me, and grabs ahold of my nose.  with his pointer and his thumb.  and he gets right up in my face.  and laughs and says, "o wiv ia, o wiv ia, o wiv ia, honk honk!"

and he squeezed my nose.  i couldn't stop laughing.  it's what i always do to him.  honk, honk his nose. 

and so today, today...he honk honked my nose. 

i love him.

Very cute Mr. Pratt.
(or as Abby calls him Patt-Patt, I dunno)

We read our Olivia book a lot and every time Abby points out all the letters on the front "O-L-I-V-I-A"

and I say, what does that spell? And she yells "ABIGAIL!"

kids are great, no?

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
