Please Don't Sing, Mom

     Yesterday, Baylee and I were playing in my bedroom.  She likes to play in our closet.  So she naturally made her way over there, opening and closing the door with herself inside.  I sat at the foot of the bed just outside the closet so she could entertain herself much longer.  I was kind of bored so I started singing Journey songs.  Baylee freaked out!!  "MOM!"  Every time I sang anything she would scream at me until I stopped and said "what?".  We probably went through about 20 minutes of that.  She would start screaming at me from far away too and if I didn't stop she would literally get "hopping mad".  She would jump while she screamed mom and get closer to me and start tapping my cheek.  I don't know why.  I guess it just confirms my already known fact that I can't sing:).
     She eventually died down on the whole screaming at me thing and when I would sing she started pointing to herself saying something I couldn't understand.  I asked her if she wanted to sing instead.  "Dep.".  Okay, you sing.  She closes the closet door.  This happened about 8 times before she actually started singing.  She would always close the closet door though so I couldn't see her while she sang.  It was very funny! 
     I did get some on tape and have decided not to post it.  It's for everyone's benefit, really.  She had already stopped screaming at me, which was why I pulled out the camcorder in the first place.  So it's pretty much just two whole minutes of me singing trying to get Baylee to scream at me.  How embarrassing.

A Little Too Much Tate...

Here is Tate, trying to get as far away from me as possible. He needs a diaper change and he knows it.  See how he's squishing it?  Gross.  He is throwing a tantrum though for whatever reason and doesn't want me to touch him, but wants his diaper changed. So it stands to reason that the best option would be to rip it off himself... And then climb into a bar stool.  Naturally.  Because that's what you do after you change your own bum.

Sweet Tater Bug

     Tate is such a sweetheart!  Here are some of the things he's said to me recently:      He's a sweetheart, yes, but also incredibly difficult.  He doesn't seem to listen.  He has a very hard time following simple orders and we get increasingly frustrated.  We clearly need to learn patience.  The kids were helping Dustin set something up when he got home from work.  He had asked the kids to stop touching certain things and after a few times of repeating himself and kids not listening, he got on Tate's case about it a little more.  Tate then came into the other room and told Baylee, "Sometimes I want to cry but I try really really hard not to and I go away from all my family."  How heartbreaking is that?!  He's my kid that, I thought, let everything roll right off of him.  He was able to easily move on and not get upset when he was in trouble or lovingly reprimanded.  I guess I need to pay more atte...
