More to Come Later

Recognize these vehicles? Yep, that's our house. That's a picture of our neighbor and her little girl. They are waiting on us, as I frantically throw things into a bag. Some of this miscellaneous, spur of the moment, panic struck items include: Jacob's tie, a church outfit for Adam, and two pair of p.j.'s for mama. Had we known it would later rise to 3-3 1/2 feet inside of our home I would have tried to save more. We watched out the window as Jacob's toys from the yard floated down the street. He was crushed. The water completely covered the vehicles by the time all was said and done. Don't worry the story ends well. The baby needs me now, so look for another post soon!

The Not-Golden Rule

Today I was reminding Jacob of the Golden Rule...which we've spoken about on many occasions. After some explanation I said, "And that's the Golden Rule." He replied, "That's the Not-Golden Rule." What am I going to do with this kid??

Love's a Funny Thing

Lee and I have just recently picked up a new technique. We were tired of the endless back and forth with Jacob when we said no. So, after saying no once, if he continues to argue we simply say...very sweetly..."I love you too much to argue." Believe it or not, it works. But the past couple of days Jacob has added his rebuttal to our statement....."You don't love me too much to argue!!"

Restrictions

All the males in our household have been sick. I have been lucky enough to avoid the "germ" for some time. Unfortunately today I felt that first tickle in my nose and throat that says, 'Yeah, we got ya.' I told Lee that I was next to be sick and he said, "No. Babies can be sick. Daddies can be sick. Mommies can NOT be sick."
