Kendall and Sharon Batson

Heavens no! He's not sleeping! He's just freed himself from Dad's grip!

For once we're all dressed semi-nicely. These are rare moments for mom, to have all 3 boys smiling and happy to be cuddled together. (There are many moments of smiles, but the 2 older boys are usually tackling each other)

Ah! Caught you adoring your baby brother!

Yeah, I'm cool!

These next few are on Eli's birthday. He really is a sweet kid, and I don't mean just because he had covered himself in chocolate!

Sweety!

Seriously, I could have never asked him to pose in such an adorable way.

Yo dudes! This chair is the happenin' place!

The new do!

Mom's 1st haircut wasn't so great, so a few days later Dad got out the clippers. No more whispy hair on the back of Eli's head. Sob.

Yeah, I have no idea what this expression is all about. I think he was trying to say something.

I just love the orange bum. This is to prove that I am once again "attempting" to cloth diaper the babies. Through the move and the holidays, I just put them away. Once I solved my hot water and diaper sprayer issues, I had no more excuses, except that I had gotten out of the habit/routine. Disposibles are definately faster, but they also cost me money. Ah well, even if I do it part time, I'm still saving some, right?

WE don't look tired, do we? Hey, we're all together and all looking at the camera at the same time!

Okay, the photos are backwards, but these 2 are AFTER the haircut. Kendall didn't like the "bob" look, but I think it's fine. Scroll up for the 2nd haircut done by dad and the clippers!

Okay, this is Eli's 1st haircut...EVER. Yes, he's fully 2 years old now. If only he would hold still!

2 March 2008 Can you see the teeth? This is very typical of Noah. Always smiling, laughing, just having a good time.

OH MY! What a cozy soft sweater from Grandma Batson!

More Mamma and boys! Grandma Batson, this photo is for you! The boys love their sweaters even if I did have to wrestle them back into them just for this photo! Man, I can't believe how fast Eric changes into his loungy clothes after church!

Here's Dad with the clippers....so much fun!

Who's saying what?

Oh to be in so much wonder of the world as a two year old! Noah looks at new things every day and loves to say, "Wow! Amazing!" Oh yeah and he calls everything wonderful too!

Since about May or so Eli has been very interested in how old he is. When we ask him, he says, "I freezer old!"
I made the mistake once of giving him 3 of some sort of treat, saying that he got 3 because he's 3 years old. Now, anytime I give him anything he says, "But I freezer old!" Meaning, I MUST give him 3!

A couple of weeks ago we were going to play with the Huismans. Eli knew he would see Greg and he started asking, "Mommy Greggars freezer old too?" "Yes, Eli, Greggars is 3 years old just like you." He thought for a moment and then figured out, "Oh! He same big are me!" I love 3 year old grammer.

Eli has also memorized when his birthday is. When we ask him he says, "My burfday is Febrary!" Since his birthday is on the 5th, I showed him that he could hold up all 5 fingers. Now when we ask him he says, really loudly, "My burfday Febrary fift!" with whole lot of spit and a very proud extended high five-style hand.

Today at the park Noah was having a blast climbing UP the slide. IT was a fairly tall slide and he felt very accomplished. When he would get to the top, he'd hang his head over and look for either me or Eli then say, "What doing?" Then he'd laugh and slide on down. This was repeated a bunch of times.

Some of Noah's phrases lately, "Where are you?" "Oh, there I are!" "I wanna hide" (usually under a blanket or a table, etc.) He'll tell us a whole lot of gibberish that we don't understand, while holding his hands out, palms up, like he's explaining something. Then he says, "K?", very know-it-all like we should know exactly what he's talking about.

"Don't mess with me!"
This is said as he waves his finger at me and gives me a squinted-eye look.

"I wanna like pirate!" As he climbs up and sits on top of the toilet tank. Anyone seen that commercial?

"I wanna like friends!" This means that he wants to hold hands and walk toward whereever it is HE wants to go.

"I wanna sleep mommy." This means that I have to lay down and fall asleep with him.

"I wanna need it." He wants to need just about anything that anyone else has.

This is what I heard from the back of the van tonight. "bacons? (translation: spankins? as in do you need spankins?). Time out! bacons! time out!" Wow, is this how I sound to him?

"Later! Catch the bus!" As he puts on his really cool free IKEA backpack (upside down, mind you) and is heading toward the door. But before getting to the door he had to come back and get his good bye kiss. He just wants to be like daddy and big brother!

"Out!", he screams to me, pointing his finger to get me out of HIS kitchen (which, by the way, he pronounces chichen). Hmmm...where would he get this kind of bossiness?
