Calgon, take me away!

Oh what a day...

Nothing terrible happened, and I am thankful for that. Nothing even just a bit upseting. Just nonstop annoying behavior from a three year old!!! One of those days when you honestly think about hiding in the closet with a bag of cookies.

Jackson was totally WOUND UP today. He already talks nonstop, so in the hyper mode it is just LOUDER! He would run up to Cooper and yell baby talk into his ear. I'm sure that's just what a healing ear infection needs. Then he would push him over and laugh when Cooper looked like a roly-poly bug on it's back. Okay it's kinda funny.


He wouldn't eat ANYTHING which isn't out of the norm, but today was ridiculous. Chocolate milk, the peanut butter in between mini peanut butter ritz crackers, not the actual crackers. And a vitamin.

He thought it was great fun to run full speed and head-butt me from any angle. Especially when I was bent over the dishwasher or dryer. Then he told me I am squishy.

I was rocking Cooper to sleep, which I hardly ever get to do ( read above ). He was just starting to do the fluttering eyes thing, when Jackson bursts through the childproof door and yells "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO"! Adorable.

At naptime, which is a sacred event, he remained quiet for 20 minutes before starting his rendition of "MOMMY I WANT OUT OF HERE"! After an hour of threatening him to sleep or else, I gave up. Cooper woke up anyway, what the heck.

Like I said, nothing devastating. No vomit to clean up. No wounds. No diarrhea. No missing child at Wal-Mart.

I'm going to gaze at Jackson and Cooper in a minute and have that revelation that most parents do when thier children are asleep. They really are angels.


But first I'm going to take a long bubble bath...
