This morning I was standing in my bathroom putting on my makeup getting ready for work when the door pushed open and there stood Sophie completely naked. Apparently Tayson had gotten her out of her crib and she had proceeded to undress and take off her diaper. Classic Sophie.
Yesterday Tayson said to me "being a mom must be a hard job". I can't think of a better compliment from one of my kids. He said it while I was standing in the rain loading the groceries into the back of the mini van. So sweet.
The past few weeks Claire has had a really hard time sleeping. Ever since her cough went away she wakes up several times in the night and just can't fall asleep (which is not like her at all). She just keeps coming out of her room crying saying she had a bad dream - before she even falls asleep. We put a lamp in her room and let her sleep with the light on all night (thank goodness for 25 watt bulbs) and most nights I even let her fall asleep with her door open. Last night it was a full hour of crying before I finally laid down with her sang her a song and within minutes she was asleep. I have no idea what could be so scary to a 3 year old that she can't fall asleep without seeing scary things "behind her eyes".
Tayson is still struggling with school. He told me yesterday it's because his friends make it too hard for him to concentrate. He said "I wish I didn't have any friends....but I really like having friends." I'm sure he'll figure it out in time. But it sure is hard to wait until he does. He keeps telling me he wants me to home school him. I explained to him yesterday that I'm not a teacher so I wouldn't be able to home school him even if I didn't work and then I told him he could go live with grandma Johnson or Aunt Amy since they are teachers and he has decided to stay in school so he can live at home.
Last night at dinner when we were talking about school with Tayson he said "I can't wait until I'm done with school and I just get a job like dad." HA HA HA. What he doesn't know is that Todd doesn't just hang out at home all day in bed doing nothing like he imagines. And most people don't have the luxury of working from home. Maybe by the time Tayson grows up everything will be done through computers and he can. We told him that he had to do good in school to get a job like his dad. :)
Favorite thing Claire says right now: "whatever" She has so much teenage attitude behind it so it's absolutely hilarious.

My Tree Monkey wants me to home school her. I keep telling her if I didn't work I'd sleep all day so she wouldn't learn anything and that I don't have patience for home schooling. I might offer to let her live somewhere else. That might end the requests. :)
Aren't kids fun?
