making a move.

This blog had been working well for about a year and a half now....
We had a lot of fun together - making memories, changing decor, watching the boys grow up...
But, we had a fight.
We aren't able to make up...so I had to make my move.
It was a hard decision...but I need to annouce to all you friends, family, followers (and stalkers) -

4 under 4 will now go by the title "four under four"

Come and join me there!

Guess Who's 2!!

For about 2 weeks now we've been "hyping up" for Megersa's birthday.
Apparently Cale is convinced that at the age of 2...and only after you TURN 2, you are a big boy. He has lumped Megersa in with the twins referring to them as "babies" because Megersa was still 1, and 1 is a baby.
Well, his status will changed!
We have some fun things planned for his birthday which will be in another post...but until then I thought it'd be kinda nice to have a little interview with our birthday boy. :)
Hi Megersa.
"H-h-h-h-hiiiiii Mommy!" (He has recently developed a stutter...hopefully he grows out of it.) Note: Most of his answers start with quite a string of stuttering for that first word, so I'll just skip over that and answer the way he did once he got that sentence going... ;)
Can you tell me your name?
"Gersa"
Do you know how old you are today?
Two.
Now that you're two, are you a big boy, or a baby?
"big bey"
Megersa at 2 years old:
(Yep, his skinny little legs fit in the bumbo!)
Megersa at age 1:Megersa's referral picture @ 2 months old:
Can you tell me where you were born?
"Eh-a-oh-ah-uh"
What's your favorite color?
"my favrit color is...is...back."
((would have thought he was gonna say GREEN. That's usually the color he says for everything. Guess I was wrong... though learning his colors is one thing he hasn't quite taken to yet... ;))
What's your favorite food to eat?
uh, Grammie
-after some help, he agreed that his favorite foods consisted of:
chicken nuggets, french fries, hot dogs, peanut butter and jelly Who is your best friend?
uh...babies.
but, Daddy and I are pretty confident that the real answer is: Cale.
What is your favorite toy to play with?
uh, favorite play...with...with...mustard.
but we know the real answer to be: his SCOOTER!!
((He is actually quite excellent at it for a 2-yr-old!))
Daddy and I notice that you like to put things on your head...which "hat" is your favorite?helmet.Do you like sitting on the potty and going poopy?
No.
Why not?
I want to play with Cale.

Which movie is your favorite one to watch?
"uh, uh...a DVD."
Cale helps him out with this one and we got out the truth: Blues Clues. :)
Can you name ALL the people in your family?
Yeah. Uh...Jesus.........
(after helping him by showing him a picture of our family, he started naming:)
Daddy, Taddus, Tepperd, Mommy, Gersa, Cale
Do you know that we all love you?
Yes.

A son and his momma.

The other day Cale and I went to Jimmie Cone for the first time.

The new ice cream place as he now calls it. :)

After we ordered, we sat down at the picnic tables to eat.

Cale was devouring his cone as he listened in on a conversation that 4 kids were having about their first day of school.

He shouted to them, introducing himself and asked them how old they were and what they were talking about. (He is social...to a fault sometimes it seems. ;)

And while I tried to buffer his volume and his keep his ice cream from dripping everywhere I got distracted by a car pulling up.

A man stepped out of the driver's seat. He looked to be in his mid-late 50s. He walked around to the side door and opened it for a women in her mid-late 70s (it seemed). She held her hand out and he took it. They walked arm in arm and got in line. She leaned, not on her cane, but on him to steady her balance.

They ordered.

Holding both ice creams in his one hand, he made sure his other hand was free for her to hold.

They sat down at a picnic table next to us.

I could barely contain myself from taking a picture of them...it was just so sweet.

I know it sounds odd, but I welled up a tiny bit...

Because, in that instance all I could do was picture was myself as the old women...and my heart was swelling to know that years and years from now I will have 4 sets of strong arms to hold onto.
