We were driving to school this morning looking out the windows and both children were mentioning things we passed. This is normal especially on the everyday traveled roads. Ella and I were both puzzled when Coop announced to look at the seahorse. We both pretty much in unison said we didn't see a seahorse. Coop told us to look up in the clouds. Low and behold the clouds were in a shape of what appeared to be a seahorse!!! What a great eye to spot a seahorse in the clouds!!! He is a unique boy and while he notices the everyday BK, golf carts and The Y, his attention is attracted to the sky and the images clouds create!

We have on Curious George. He's a monkey and I guess monkeys can be easily trained and taught.
I think I need to hire The Man With The Yellow Hat to come and teach my children some things as he obviously has some kind of super power that enables him to have the patience of a saint and his student always seen to have things mastered, under control, fixed or is successful in whatever it was that had him puzzled/perplexed in less that 15 minutes.

First collection of acorns. Bring on the acorn crafts! Bring in getting pelted in the head often.

Wallykazam is a children's show on Nick Jr. my children love this show. At the end of the one episode Ogur Doug is singing a song about his Flitterflug (his pet bug)... We teased Cooper the first time we saw this episode about him being the Flitterflug Bug. At the end of the song Ogur Doug says that the Flitterflug ...really really really loves to hug.
The kids were partially watching the show after their naps and the end scene came on and I called to Coop (as he usually runs over and hugs me).....today he said "no hugs from Cooper" and went back to playing with his sister.
I had to settle for a hug from Ebony. She was very willing. :-)

Children have been napping for 2 hours. I'm hoping that naps have done them wonders and when I go for them they are happy little people! It's been a heck of a day. Out of control behavior with no listening skills. My car keys, wallet and phone even managed to get locked in my car due to one of the children not listening and crawling to the front of the car when asked not to.

I've been working really hard at helping Cooper learn to dress himself. This kid could care less.
Everyday I start by laying his underwear, shorts and shirt out on the floor. I have taught him that the tag or printed tag info on his underwear and shirts are the part of the clothing that is touching the carpet. His shirt is the opposite, meaning whatever part of his shirt that goes on the front of his body is the part of the shirt that touches the carpet.
He attempts each day to lay the clothing out correctly but always gets at least one piece wrong. He could care less and I kinda feel like letting him go dressed to school however he manages to get himself dressed to see how he makes out! He'll get it eventually, till then I'll sit and encourage him as he figures out front from back and tries to out both his legs through one hole.
Love my monkey!
