So I am not as good at blogging as I thought I would be. I just wanted to write somethings that Titus has said lately, they just make me smile and laugh at the same time. He is getting so big and is so smart. He turned 3 yesterday and the whole week up to his birthday he would say every day it's my birthday and we would have to say no, not yet, just a couple more days. He has been talking about his Batman birthday party we were going to have, but then Benjamin ended up with the chicken pox this weekend so we are post poning the party so we can get over the chicken pox.
Daniel got Titus and Benjamin both a football balloon yesterday for their birthdays. When Titus walked in the room to see the balloon, He just stood there in awe for a minute and let out a long soft, wow. I love watching Titus and Benjamin when they see something new.
I love that Titus goes to Puggles. He talkes about it all week long and is always asking if he can go to Puggles.... Thank you Cindy and Jessica for telling me these stories.
Titus was asked what Mommy and Daddy's favorite color is, Titus replied with black.
One week Puggles were talking about things that God made. The question was asked what was something that God made outside. Titus says loud and proud, God made golf. (Thank you Randy for playing and watching golf with Titus every day, he loves it)
This morning we were putting the books back on the self to recreate our library. Titus wanted to read one of the books, he opened it and said "God loves me." I was so proud. Later, I told Titus to stop jumping on the floor so our neighbors didn't get mad at us and he asked if God didn't love him when he was loud on the floor. I couldn't help but chuckle and tell him No, God still loves you no matter what.
Benjamin is just Benjamin.... what can I say. He is up and walking every where. He LOVES to be with Titus!!! He is trying to talk. Always points at the tv when he sees dogs. He is starting to play with the hot wheels and making moving them like they are driving around. It is just a boys thing, I guess.
I love my boys!!!

I sick momom
So it has been a while since I last blogged. I am not so good at writting all of the time. I am definately an emotional writter, but some exciting and funny moments happened last week so I had to put them in writting so I could remember and tease the boys later.
First, Benjamin took his first steps at Axis 2 weeks ago. It was so exciting to have our church family there for the moment. I was screaming for Daniel because I didn't want him to miss it. I was so excited that he was actually taking a step I wasn't really paying attention to who he was walking to. But there were several people who wanted to see him walk after that so we were trying to get him to take steps the rest of the night.
Benjamin is going to be our electronic techy. He is ALWAYS going after the remote, cell phones, computer. He prefers the remote over balls. He likes to play with cars with Titus. He still loves to play with his brother. It's funny to take Benjamin into the room when we are trying to wake Titus up. Benjamin gets into the bed and starts pulling the covers down and then jumps on Titus. It is the funniest thing considering Titus normally does that to us if and when he wakes up before us. He jumps into bed yelling "It 9 'oclock, time to get up." although it could be 8 or 10:00. He just knows 9:00 is time to get up, I don't know why.
The other day Titus was looking through the drawers and found some homeopathic medication. This is what our conversation went
Titus: I sick Mommom, I need medicine (While trying to show me which medicine he needed)
Lizzy: Why, where does it hurt? What's wrong?
Titus: The water made me sick, Mommom. (pulling up his shirt & pointing to his stomach)
Lizzy: You haven't had any water.
Titus: I need medicine, I sick
Lizzy: Why don't you lay down to see if you won't feel better after you rest.
So he would forget about it and then later he would come back, we had this conversation about 3 times this day.
The night before we had made some ginger bread houses and he saw them sitting on the counter top. He wanted to eat them.
Titus: I want to eat my house
Lizzy: Well Titus if you aren't feeling well you can't eat your house
Titus: but I want to eat my house
Lizzy: are you sick or do you want to eat
Titus: I want to eat my house (but he really meant the house Mommom built)
We were at Target the other day shoping with Grammi and Titus was told to stop touching. Two aisles later, Grammi was feeling blankets and Titus said "No touching, no touching" with a hey, how come you can touch, but I can't.
Tonight Daniel went to check on Titus and all I hear is "Don't move, stay right there". Daniel came back and said "Go look at your son". I went to Titus' room, he had stripped his bed and was holding his bottom sheet in his hand saying "It is dirty". What do you mean the sheet is dirty, it's 10:30? All he could say was "It dirty, Mommom. It needs to be washed". He is getting so smart and whitty!!
So any ways. I hope that was entertaining for you as much as it was when it happened. I am loving being with my kids. A little overwhelmed, but loving it!!!! They have SOOOOO much energy.
Have a good night and don't freeze.
You can tell him Titus don't touch, he will say "I not touching"

Feeding the ducks
Yesterday was the funniest thing Titus has done in a long time. We were on our way down the stairs, Titus would go down and Momom had to stay at the top of the stairs and "wait" until Titus got to the bottom of the stairs. It wasn't just the way he said it, picture this, Titus going walking down the stairs, and looking back at your sticking his hand out like, talk to the hand, while saying "Wait" with an attitude. and then when he got to the bottom of the section he would look back at you like it was okay to go now. Well, I dropped the stroller I was trying to get down the stair and it made a loud noise, Titus stops half way down and says "Shhhh momom, you're being too loud" and then "he's praying, Shhhh momom, you're being too loud, he's praying". But there was no one down at the bottom of the stairs or in the parking lot that I could see. His attitude was so funny.
He walking almost all the way to the ducks and then when he got there the ducks came running to us. They came REALLY close, almost scary they were so close. We ran out of bread and I think they were still hungry. Titus kept wanting to hold the "baby duck", but I think he just meant the smaller duck. Some of the ducks were very big.
Tonight we wen't trick-or-treating my friend Sue and her family. Titus is such a flirt, he wanted to walk and hold all of the girls hand. There aren't that many houses participating in the trick-or-treat, but he still racked the candy!! He was Batman this year. All week long, we talked about him being Batman, and then when the time comes to dressup, he decides he doesn't want to be batman anymore. By the end of the night there were several little kids going trick-or-treat with him. I will post pictures later. I him!!!!

First Week
So it is Friday on the first week of being a stay at home mom. Can I just say I LOVE IT!!!!! I love being around my kids all day and getting to play with them and teach them things and just listen to what they say. Titus surprises me all of the time, yesterday we were sitting around and out of the blue he says, "My ears are growing". Where did that come from? It is so funny some of the things he says. Daniel started a game with Titus this weekend and it is so much fun. We just go back and forth saying "I love you" and then the next person says "I love you" and it gradually gets louder and you start laughing. I just love hearing my kids say "I love you, momom" It makes your heart mealt!!
Benjamin is sleeping the whole night through most of the time. This morning he was crying and i went to get him out of his crib and he was standing up in his crib. I wondered is he going to start trying to get out pretty soon? We put Titus in a toddler bed before he figured out how to escape. Benjamin is starting to looking like a different kid. Everyone always says he looks just like his brother, and he does but he is starting to different features. He is growing up so fast, I saw a baby the other day and was saddened because Benjamin isn't that small any more. He is starting to eat the food off of our plates and he tries to drink out of Titus's sippie cups when Titus leaves them around. Which I am not complaining about, it will be easier to transition to the next stage. He is now crawling and loves to stand and hold on to things. He also LOVES to play with Titus. He laughes at Titus all of the time!!!
So staying at home is a great next step for our family. I can cook dinner and pack lunches for Daniel and even make breakfast, if that includes making it early. At the begining of the week, the kids were getting up at 6:30 wide awake ready to go, and now they sleep until about 7:30, but I try to keep them in bed as long as possible, because I love to sleep!!!!

Misc...
I am officially a stay at home mom, or momom as Titus likes to call me. Can I just say I am so excited and blessed that God has provided a way for me to stay at home and raise my children. Today we went to the park and Titus picked up Horse Apples hid in the trees from I don't know who. But it was so much fun to just hang out with my 2 year old. He is so much fun.
I have to tell you I realized last week why parents with Toddlers are ALWAYS late. If they aren't it is a miracle. Emotional break downs, they have them for no apparent reason and at the most inopportune times. Like right as you are walking out the door to go to work and if you don't leave at that exact moment you will be late. It is just amazing the timing that Toddlers have.
I also have to share the funniest story ever of what happened to me the other day, this is also why I was late to work. I was getting all of the trash together and Titus wanted to eat his yogurt. He got a small spoon and then Benjamin came over and wanted some, so Titus was nice and started feeding Benjamin. I was watching from the kitchen, he was doing really well feeding Benjamin and I even went over to help a little. I went back to cleaning the kitchen, next thing I know he is eating it with his fingers, not a big deal… then I look over and it is all over his hand and up to his wrist… then I see him trying to put it in Benjamin’s hair and all over Benjamin. Titus is now bathing in yogurt. It’s like I couldn’t get there fast enough. About this time Steph comes in the door, Benjamin has more yogurt on him than I realize and Titus is still trying to rub yogurt on himself like it is lotion. So I asked Steph if she could give them a bath. She said yes, not a big deal. I started the bath and got yogurt all over me trying to get the boys in the bath tub.
Have I told you how much I love my Titus!!!!

I am so proud
I know I haven't posted in a while, but time has been flying by with church and work and the boys. I wish I could find a job to work from home so that I could spend more time with them. Titus is growing up so fast. Last night when we were getting a bath, he wanted to wash himself. I trying to wash him so that we could get out, he stood up and told me no and started to wash his arms and tummy and even his legs and booty. He has been so loving towards his brother lately as well. The other day when we got home, he wanted to get Benjamin out of his carier to hold him, but after about 5 minutes he started to almost push him out of his arms. This morning Benajamin was hanging out in his car seat waiting for us to leave and Titus wanted to help buckle him in, he didn't want any of my help, he wanted to do it himself. He is getting so independent. Then the sweetest thing of all, he leaned over and huged Benjamin and said really softly "I yove you". It almost made me cry. Then he started kissing on him and giving him tons of kisses and hugs. He really loves his brother. I hope and pray that they continue to be loving brothers when they get older.
Benjamin loves to watch Titus play and loves it when Titus talks to him and plays with him. He starts to let us know when he is un happy. You can see the anticipation in his face for the day when he can get on the floor and play with Titus and My Daddy (as Titus says).
Anyways... I am blessed with 2 loving little boys and a great husband!!! God is so good.

A day in the eyes of a Two year old
I can say that I got to sleep in today. I can't remember the last day I got to sleep in when Daniel wasn't home (he lets me sleep in on Saturdays sometimes). Both boys slept until 8:30 this morning. It was soooo nice!!!
We have been trying to potty train, so we tell Titus "You have to tell us when you have to go potty". Titus comes up to me and says "Poop", yeah we are on our way. I said okay, let's run to the bathroom, while I am getting off of the couch and putting Benjamin in his swing, Titus goes and grabs his Cars coloring book (magazine) to read in the bathroom. So we go through the coloring book naming the characters as we come across them. He wants to be just like his daddy!
Later Titus is playing in his room and I hear him saying "Yeah" and then a pause, "Yeah, and then a pause. Wondering who he is talking to, I go into his room. He is sitting in his toy box which he has thrown everything on to his bedroom floor. He is still saying "Yeah" and finally he raises a cell phone that is talking. when you push the button it says, "May I help you?", and his response is always "Yeah".
Titus is so thoughtful of his brother, he watches out for him a lot. Benjamin was a little fussy today while he was laying on his back. He just wanted someone to talk to him and he had a bubble in him tummy. Titus was talking to him and then gently rolled him over onto his stomach. Titus then went and got a blanket to cover both of them up, they were going to take a nap together. Benjamin burped and then Titus came to be and said "towel". I didn't understand why he wanted a towel, he found another blanket and went and wiped up his brother's spit up. He is soooo sweet. He is and is going to be a great bigger bother!!!!
