This & That... and one more thing :)

** Sunday afternoon my oldest walked up to his brother and slapped him. I have read hard discipline regards to this activity will make it worse as he's doing it because he is somewhat jealous of his brother so disciplining him while comforting his brother makes it worse. Therefore, I simply took his red Lightning McQueen chair away for awhile. All I told him was "we don't hit people. That's not nice. Because you did that, I took your chair away." Well, it worked! The next morning he went to Grandma Rhonda's and one of the first things he said to her was "Mommy took my red chair." And he's been nicer to his brother. Oh I love finding something that works!

** Tonight we ran an errand and it was snowing. My oldest was very concerned about getting the snow off everything. He had a perfect solution.... "Get my vacuum cleaner" Brilliant. I'll get out the vacuum and clean up all this snow. :) Love it!

** My youngest just turned 11 months on Saturday and he's walking! Walking! It's crazy how he's doing things sooner than his brother. Just shows how much he is learning from his big brother. :)

Blogging Change

Wow, can't believe it's been since the end of October since I last blogged. It's not that I haven't had things to write about, because I definitely have. But November 1 the company I work for changed ownership, which meant change of our computer network, and now this site is one of the many blocked. And I used to write my blog while pumping at work. (TMI? Well then you are reading the wrong blog because this is a mommy blog after all! :)) So now I don't get to write during that time at work and I am just not on the computer much when I am home. So instead of having long, written out posts like this one, I will be posting short & sweet, to the point posts. Of course all Mommy related of course. I've done this with the books I keep for my boys as well. For each of my boys, I have kept a journal for them starting with their pregnancy and try to document as much as their life as possible. Someday I will give them to them. I used to write a letter to each as often as possible, which I aimed for every other day. Now I write list and they still get a documentary of their life by their mommy and I save time. Perfect!
