Our flowers are dead, the babies ruined them. The beautiful is gone.
This was what Sam told one of his teachers about the flowers the class planted on the playground.
Later that day that teacher told another teacher about the conversation. She let her know that the baby that ruined them was his brother.
:o)

Soccer
Today soccer consisted of running and letting the ball roll right by. When I asked why he doesn't kick it he said "they don't kick it to me." Silly - you are suppose to kick it away from them. He also enjoys making his friends laugh out there too. I even saw some hugs during the game.
The Grandparents are coming next weekend, I think they are going to enjoy watching one of Sam's games!

Buds!
I love how close Sam and Cooper are. This is a picture of them at school, Sam always goes to the window when he is outside to say hi. Saying goodbye is never easy though. Today when I picked them up both of their classes were playing outside and they were playing together. I hope they love each other like this forever!! Sniff sniff...

Doing the Duck Dance
Da na na na na na na. Da na na na na na. Da na na na na na na quack quack quack quack. insert tune to The Chicken Dance
Come Here Often?
Oh, hi. Yeah - I am back. It's been over a month. Geeeeeesh!
What's going on in the Williams' household. Well, let's see. Cooper will be two in..wait for it...18 days. He is so smart for his age - and I am totally not saying that because I am his Mom. He can count to ten in English and Spanish. He knows his primary colors - red, green, blue and yellow. He also talks in full sentences, sometimes you may not understand him, but I hear the pauses that make the words he is saying sentences.
"I did it"
"No Sam"
"Where is Daddy"
"Sam? Sam? Sam?"
"No, Mommy do it"
Cooper loves to do everything himself. In fact, tonight we went to Target (it was some Cooper and Mommy time - I will let you know where Sam was in a minute) and Cooper wanted to put the cookies on the thingy that you put your groceries on before checkout. Well, I tried to help him and he yelled. He got them up there and I moved them and he yelled. I gave them back and he put them back. We were okay after that but the guy behind me had a smirk on his face. The same guy whispered something to his wife as I tried to convince Cooper to put on his jacket because it was raining and Cooper WOULD NOT put it on. He didn't wear it. No idea what the guy could have been saying. I am sorry, sometimes it is easier to pick my battles. We parked close.
So anyway, yes, he likes to do everything himself. Cooper is a little rough, I always want to tell him to be a lover not a biter. For awhile there we had bite reports almost everyday! I was like I so have that kid. He's getting better and is really a sweet boy. He still has his blonde hair and blue eyes and I promise that makes up for anything else. I love when he runs up and gives me kisses and says "I love you Mommy, drive safe" every morning before he goes to school. Speaking of school, he is in the two year old room and doing great.
Sam started soccer and is learning to listen to his coach, kick the ball and play on a team. He seems to enjoy it. Tonight was extra special because he just went with Daddy and they had an ice cream cone after.
Sam is a very simple and complex kid (yes I used both of those words to describe him). He likes things in order and scheduled. If we go off of his schedule - we have issues. Change is not his friend. But we are working on that and I think he is getting better. The thing about Sam is just have to be upfront with him. He wants to know why, when, where and how for EVERYTHING. But if you tell him something like at soccer you listen to your coach, run and kick the ball. He repeats it and says okay. And when he gets there that is basically what he does.
Sam has tried to push his limits by talking back. He doesn't quite get it.
Mommy: Sam, go put your toys away.
Sam: No, YOU put your toys away.
or
Mommy: Sam go potty.
Sam: No you go potty.
So yeah, he doesn't quite get it. But what that means to me - he is quick with a comeback. That will come in handy one day.
Sam will be 4 in July - can NOT believe that. He is ready to "be bigger". I am not ready for that. I make sure to ask him if he will always love me as much as he does and he always says "yes."
Dave and I have been working like crazy! We are trying to get in shape and eat better. BORING. But that may explain why I am never on here. We are also getting ready to start some home improvement projects. Busy Busy!!!
So there is my update. If I would come on here more often I would probably have so much more to say. I am going to make a point to try and update at least once a month.

Always Room For Dessert
Cooper is going through a "stage." He will not eat dinner but always has room for dessert! I guess I shouldn't let him have dessert if he doesn't eat dinner. But I think he is too young to understand that concept.
Right?

Yesterday...
I was picking Sam up to go to the dentist and peeked in Cooper's room. Let's see the teacher was holding his hand and down at his level pointing her finger. One of the other teachers walked out and I asked if Cooper was biting - we have been struggling with that.
She said:
"No, he was just being a bully as usual".
Love my Cooper!!

He's Just Not That Smart
Sam: Santa is smart enough, but he's just not that smart. He didn't get me a Tonka Bike.
(really he did, but it is in Daddy's trunk - oops)

My Time as a SAHM - Complete
Well, my bout as a stay at home Mom is done. And I think it is bittersweet for all of us. Okay maybe for me and Sam. Cooper, probably more bitter. I am pretty sure this is the first time I have took a week off just to be home with both boys. Most working Mom's know, the first year or so of life you have to save your time off for sick kiddos. That is getting better, so I was able to do this. My vacation started on 12/24/09 and finished today. I survived and so did they! I also drank a lot more water than I have been and they watched a lot more tv than they have. Dave also got spoiled by coming home to a cooked dinner.
We also spent time with G&G Ciarrocchi who came down for their annual Christmas visit. We were also joined by Tulsa's first blizzard during that time too.
We took a trip to the mall, which was a success! I didn't even bring the double stroller and Sam did awesome. Cooper did too, well except for when I tried to get him to try shoes on with an empty stomach. We ventured to the food court after that and both boys sat unassisted (meaning no highchairs) and ate their lunch. Wow.
We also met Daddy for lunch at Ollie's. Ollie's is a restaurant that has a train theme. So the boys enjoyed that. Cooper loved saying "chug a chug a chug a choo choo." Daddy goes their for lunch at LEAST 2 times a week. So he was treated like a regular. The boys had a cinnamon roll and shared a few bites. OMG - YUMM-O.
We spent one day at home because Sam wasn't feeling well. Took him to the doctor (couldn't not go on my time off) and they are starting him on medicine for asthma. They said it should be temporary! Let's hope.
After that recovery Daddy took the day off with us on New Year's Eve. I gave into the hype and watched the first of the Twilight movies for New Year's Eve - I know wild and crazy!!
The only disappointment was our trip to Build a Bear Workshop on Friday. That was something I had been looking forward to doing the entire time I was off. It was definitely more for me! I don't think the boys have touched their Fireman Bears since we got home :). Oh well.
Pretty much since then we have all just been hanging out. Very fun! I thought by the end of this time off I would be ready to go back to work. Not so much. I mean, I am not going to go and quit my job, but I truly enjoyed my time. Sam has amazed me with how helpful he is and Cooper has really taken to being a "Mommy's Boy."
Well, guess I will go hang out with the boys. Happy New Year!!
