... So I am sure that every mom feels that way, but lately, my kids have been so cute and funny.  To the point that it is interferring with my parenting, because instead of being a good mom, I am laughing!

Example:  Eli has been a crazy man since starting steroids for his croup.  The other day I was trying to put him in his carseat, and he was bouncing around, being insanely wiggly, and then looked at me and said "I monkey!  Oooh oooh!  Ahhh ahh!!"  and if that wasn't bad enough then he said "I so funny!!"  I had to turn around and laugh.  And then proceed to tell him that monkeys have to buckle up so that they can be safe in the car!  (Piedmont friends-- I even use keywords with my kids!  "In order to keep you safe...")  He's also been really snuggly since being sick, which has been nice!  When we walk in to pick Sydney up from school, he just lays his head on my shoulder and rubs my back--- melts. my. heart!!  He wrapped his arms around me the other day and said "Love you... so much!"  :)  He is also starting to really put lots of words together.  He's had 1 or 200+ one words, but lately, he's been putting 2-3 word strings together. 

Sydney may choose to go to a school other than The University of Georgia and we will be devestated totally support her, but for now, she is a Bulldog through and through.  She told me she wants red cupcakes for her birthday "because GoDawgs like red."  We took them into a college fan store in Peachtree City the other night after dinner, and they were both flipping out!  They could not handle so much red and black in one room!  Then, Sydney saw a huge University of Florida sign and said "Eww Mommy.  We not like Gators.  They eat GoDawgs!"  lol-- if she only knew!!  :)  Maybe they will have a better record during her life time!  :)  We took her to McDonalds tonight to get ice cream, and she started ordering pink ice cream with sprinkles! 

After such a long time with babies in our house, I can't believe how big these two are getting!  Even though I love every minute with them and it is so much fun to watch all of their new tricks, I miss my babies!
