Sweet Pea speaks Cupcake




I have been banished to the couch sick with a fever so Daddy is taking care of the little squirts. Daddy has just put some lunch on the table. Cupcake is really whining "agggggh aggggh" is the sound she is making. I have no clue what she wants...so I can't help Daddy. I guess the whining got on Sweet Peas nerve's because he just said, "Cupcake wants a spoon Daddy, Cupcake wants a spoon!" At this point Daddy will try anything...and I want him too...he gets up grabs a spoon, hands it to Cupcake. She politely says, "thin tu" (thank you) and quietly begins to eat her food. No more whining! It hurts to laugh...but I am laughing and so is Daddy. I said, "I guess he speaks Cupcake." and now Sweat Pea is constantly repeating this phrase, " I speak Cupcake Daddy, I speak Cupcake Daddy!"

ok I am back and blogging again!

A beautiful special moment between father and son. By the look on Sweet Pea's face I think it clear that he has the most amazing dad in the whole world. The dad who always relishes his family time. The two of them enjoy watching sports together, playing baseball, soccer and wrestling.

Sweet Pea is going through what I hope is a unique and short stage....getting up at 5 am and sometimes 2 am....ready to start the day! Last week we...sorry L woke up at 5 am to a rummaging sound. L jumped out of bed startled to find Sweet Pea in the kitchen...in the dark..with the fridge open...and emptied onto the floor...looking and asking for some milk! He is trying to be so independent, thankfully it was only the bottom half that he could reach. When he was getting up at 2, 3, 4, and 5 am I finally came up with something that would only work for Sweet Pea, we told him he could only get out of bed when it was light outside..so far it is working...can't wait till winter...it seems to get light around 6 am...and that has become the normal get up time! I guess I can't complain to much since Sweet Pea and Dad get some boy time together and morning sports center. It so cute. We just can't believe how fast he is growing up. Every morning Sweet pea gets out of bed..climbs down his bunk (little bunk)..goes to the bathroom takes off his overnight...goes potty and comes down stairs to our bed side to announce "Sweet Pea's awake!" with a giant smile on his little face! If I could only find a way to wake up with that much energy! Oh and if we don't get up fast enough he is quick to inform us " It's light outside."


Cupcake is such a girly-girl. She enjoys waring my braclets, shoes and if any article of clothing is left on the floor..she puts it on. Just this last week when Memaw and Aunt where visiting Cupcake found her swimsutie in the (clean...just folded..but messed up all the clothes to pull the suite out) laundry pile and put it on...over her skirt and was very satisfied walking around the house like that. She loves carrying her purses and mommies purses around the house too. We think Sunday is her favorite day because she gets to put on her best dress, sqeeker shoes, pearl bracelet, bow, purse and pull her cute diaper suitcase behind her. She is so independant just like her brother. On Sunday's she walks in church to her class room pulling the bag behind her..while holding her purse and shoes.."squeek, squeek" doen the hall. Everyone laughs.."here comes cupcake!" Her curly hair! We think it came from Memaw...now I am left trying to figure out how to style it...oh wait...put a bow in it and call it done..this is awesome!
