We had just finished pre-school, and the children were still working on their letter art project for the day. So I decided to put on some tunes while I cleaned the kitchen. I had just the other day found my box in the attic that had my CD’s in it. So I decided to pop in some Il Devo. Kaylee and I enjoyed listening to it in Utah, but it’s been about a year. I am pretty sure Regan doen’t remember it from Utah anyway, so it was brand new to him.
He LOVES LOVES LOVES it! Oh, my goodness. It was so funny/awesome how fast he RAN into the kitchen to start opera singing and gesturing. Kid has NEVER seen opera before, but that didn’t stop him from knowing and doing all the right moves.
 Kaykee joined him when she herd the camera going, and then his facial expressions really  intensified!

Moments like this make me so happy that I am a nut and keep my camera out and near by. Who knows maybe someday he will be a famouse opera singer…

I’ve been a bit gimpy for the last couple of months. I have a damaged nerve cluster from a car accident 10 years ago. I have had the nerves cauterized several times for pain relief. But sadly it is not a permanent fix. Nerves grow back and the pain returns. SO my poor kiddos have had to be a bit more patient with me since it just takes me longer to get up and move around.
Kaylee, ever the little Mom has really been wonderful.  She has always been mostly happy to help, but now she is just a doll about helping. She tells me to take my meds and go sit down when she thinks I am over doing it. And even Regan realizes that his Mama is ouchy.  He has to be reminded lots, but he’s two so that’s to be expected.
The children have really done lots of growing up the last couple of months. They know I cannot do everything i used to, and are finding ways to help out in their own way. Regan has become by necessity independent.  And I have to say I love that he no longer demands my company for his potty trips. There have been definite blessings to being less than %100.
So our boy is resourceful. Poor kid got sick of waiting for me hobble over to the kitchen to open his fruit leather.  Kis is serious about snack time. Well eating in general….
This is what I walked in on. He apparently knows where we stash the adult scissors. A stool and 30 seconds is all he needs to open his own snacks.


“Hi Mama. I did it!!” 
To which I replied, “Good job buddy! Let me grab the camera.”
Lucky for me the camera was just on the counter. Nice and close.
Oh, and my back is freshly re-cauterized. So life should be getting back to our normal. Meaning for us indoor soccer, dance parties,fort building, zoo trips, walks to the library, etc. etc….

These guys had fun at the water park while the girls were parting at the house. Until the dust storm blew in. This is the one and only picture they got. I’m happy that they took the time to have someone take their picture.

I called my Dad while they were there and asked how thing were going and when they would be coming back. He told me about the one and only slide Regan could go down. I guess Regan has no patience when waiting his turn  (He’s two.) and would go down RIGHT behind the rider in front of him. They are supposed to wait for the slide to clear, but Regan just wouldn’t. The poor lifeguard I eventually just gave up on trying to have him wait, and would just move out of the way and let him go down the slide.
 
Just now Regan came to see what I was doing. Upon seeing this photo he announced, “HEY! Papa, Barry, Daddy, REGAN! Fun! … Where Papa go?”

So now we are calling Papa. 🙂
