Reganism: The onion

Leave a reply

Regan LOVES onions. LOVES. He likes to sneak little diced pieces while I'm cooking. Tonight he decided that peeling the heels and taking a big bite of onion was a good idea.

"Mom. Just little bites of onions is good. No more big bites."

Jon says it was mean of me to go get the camera instead of giving Regan a heads up that  a big bite of onion was not a good idea. Honestly Regan eats raw onion lots, so I figured his reaction could go either way. Love it, or you know wipe his tongue off.  I didn't want to miss either reaction so when I saw him going for it I ran for the camera, and I am so glad I did.

He sat on my lap and giggled at these photos and said, "Just little onions right Mom?."

Reganism: Big brother Batman

Regan is my running errands going on Mommy adventures buddy. This trip we braved Costco, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart. This little guy is a trooper. I said "Not going to happen," and "Not today Buddy" for items requested WAY too many times this afternoon. And he did not pitch a fit to any of my no's. So Mama guilt started to set in because he was being awesome about being told no. And then he hit below the belt while we were looking for a red shirt for Kaylee at Wal-Mart.

"MOM! MOM LOOK! It's a Batman for MY baby! My baby can wear Batman, and I could hold  my baby!"

So, yes. We bought a Newborn Batman onesie today. And my little boy was thrilled. It was the first thing he told/showed his Daddy when Jon got home that night. And he has since put it in his cloths drawer to "keep it safe for the baby".

We have been talking about adoption since Regan turned two. Regan being so young never said much on the subject. But he would listen. And lately he prays to be a big brother, and prays for his baby to come home.

He was carrying around the onesie today so I of course had to get a picture (or 16) of my guy.

This boy of mine is ready to be a big brother. Although he is still on the fence on if he wants a sister or a brother. I'm thinking that if Regan's baby wears the onesie Regan picked out it will not matter, but be true and instant LOVE.

Reganism/Kayleeism: Breakfast of champions

Leave a reply

I am NOT a morning person. Jon usually gets the children breakfast before heading off to work. Today that didn't happen. Usually they come in and snuggle with me for a bit and place their breakfast orders on days Jon has to leave before feeding them. Sometimes they help themselves to bananas and dry cereal. And sometimes crazy ideas pop into their little heads and they think Fruit by the Foot and chips is an awesome breakfast plan.

IMG_6273I knew something was up when they were being too quiet. I love their ingenuity in using the kid scissors so they didn't have to come and have me open the junk.  I would also like to say that Jon brought home a Costco box of Fruit by the Foot because he couldn't find the fruit leather we normally get. "What? It has FRUIT in the name." These words received a MASSIVE eye roll and head shake from me. I have already told the children repeatedly that when they are gone they are gone.IMG_6279So anyhow… Regan came in my room to request a drink and had his little face all up close and personal with my nose.

"Hey Buddy, did you eat a Fruit by the Foot?"

"Yes, Foot by the Fruit is YUMMY. I need some Regan chips too please."

I giggle every time he says "Foot by the Fruit."

Also Regan was my grocery shopping buddy and lobbied hard for those cheetoes for his sis. It's hard to say no when they are arguing on behalf of their sibling. And then since he fought for and won cheetoes for Kaylee I tossed in a bag of his chips too. I feel like my pantry is really full of junk right now. The rest of the household is okay with this.

The camera was on my nightstand so I grabbed it on my way out of bed and headed into the kitchen to see the damage. Kaylee had some sound kid logic happening to justify Cheetoes and Fruit by the Foot for breakfast. "Daddy says it has FRUIT in the name. Fruit is healthy food. And I know Cheetoes are just a sometimes food, so that means I can sometimes eat them for breakfast." Hmmmmm……

We rehashed our healthy VS. sometimes food talk, cleaned up the junk food and made oatmeal. It was an amusing start to my day.
