Cry it out again ... :(

Peter has been really clingy recently , seems not like to go to bed. Last week when we were at Mexico Beach, we kept their room door open at night because it was too dark. So Peter wanted the door to be open at home too, last night he cried forever. It breaks my heart because he talks so well, saying things like "I want you mommy", " Mommy can you hold me get down?", " can you cove my blanket?"... It's just so hard to ignore him when he spoke so sad and so sweet. But I know that I can't give in, he should not learn to manipulate people like that. I hope when he grows up, he will be a good person. Love you Peter!

grass monster

I caught a grasshopper outside and gave it to the kids. they've been in love with it this past week. the grasshopper lost one back leg when I was trying to catch it. and then lost another during the time Michael and Peter were playing with it. and this morning, it died after being sick for a few days. we've tried to feed it lettuce, water, oats and even cotton balls(Enoch's choice). sadly it went rigid and died this morning. Michel was really sad and wants to find a new one.

Peter always calls it "grass monster" which was really cute! and in the first pic the boys built a duplo box they called "grasshopper 'S house" to trap the grasshopper in there. I can see that they really likes the grasshopper a lot.

They even have this fake grass for the grasshopper to play on.

I'm busy!

The funny things Peter said today:
1, at Costco he saw Christmas trees, he told an old lady " Marry Christmas!"  the lady said " Marry Christmas to you too!" we almost died laughing
2, He randomly said to me : MOMMY I have a secret (in chinses). My eyes went wide as I couldn't believe that came out of my two year old's mouth. I asked " what is it?" He said something like "funny MOMMY"....
3, I just called Peter to come and change into his pajamas. you never would guess what he said to me: I am busy!!

We are not so sure that he is only two any more...

FW:

Michael built this! Peter may or may not helped. Some incredible fort building skills! I feel bad for taking it down so I'm going to leave it there until later today

Michael's finger

Peter closed the door on Michael's finger today. Michael learned the hard way that he shouldn't put his finger in the crack inbetween the door and door frame, where the door connects the door frame. It was really sad. I gave him some tylonal and chocolate before taking him to see his Dr. Took xray of his fingers, everything looks fine. So they put Band aid on there to proven pulling off the fingernail. But was told that the fingernail is going to fall off on its own.
