SO big...

SO big...

Lately Taegen has this thing about being "Grown up". All the time he says, "I'm growing up, huh mom? Wanna see how tall I am?" then whatever we are doing...he stops and stands up super tall.
Anyways, the other day he was getting in his pajamas and he came to me and said "mom, I need help." He had one foot in a foot hole and one foot in an arm hole and his arms in the other two holes. Anyways, that was a confusing explanation but nonetheless, this is what happened.
Totally cracks me up.

Love the hair.

Love the hair.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Taegen's hair right now. He doesn't want it cut. I asked him if he wanted a haircut and he told me he likes it long. Yeah!

Taeg - mister

Today I had just gotten off the phone with a friend and put my phone down. Then for about 10 minutes I could not find the phone anywhere. I looked in the fridge. In the pantry. In the garbage. Everywhere. I asked Taegen if he could help me find my phone.

Taegen: "If I find it can I have $50?"
Me: "I will give you a quarter?"
Taegen: "Ok" - he climbs up on the counter, lifts up the paper towel holder, reaches for my phone, pulls it out and says, "Here. Where's my $50?"

I think I'm in trouble.

Letter from mom

Taegen Boy,

You are so much fun right now (most the time). You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS want to play games and it drives me nuts. Seriously, you ask me to play a game with you at least 15 times a day. Your favorite games are:

• Dinosaur - where we run around and try to eat each other.
• Dungeon - where I chase you boys around and have to put you in the dungeon (beanbag or jungle gym) and then you escape and I chase you again.
• Hide-n-seek - you are actually learning how to really hide now.
• Don't break the ice -
• Any adult game in the game closet. You always want to play games like cribbage or cards or something that you have absolutely zero idea how to do.

You always tell me you love me most. I then tell you that I love you most and we continue like this for awhile. I love this. Even when people are around you always say no mom, I love you most.

You also ALWAYS ask me if I'm mad. It drives me crazy. I can be happy and smiling and you say "are you mad mom?" Then if I say no, you say "are you happy mom?" Then you usually ask Kyler and Strider if there mad too.

You are an amazing big brother to Kyler and Strider. You always want one of them on your team in hide and seek and you are so patient with them. You always take Kyler's hand when you want him to come with you. You always want Kyler to sit by you in primary too.

You also have a great ability at telling me if someone is stinky. If you smell stink you go and smell Kyler and Strider's bums and tell me who is stinky. If I think someone is stinky then I will ask you just so you smell their bums instead of me. :):)

You LOVE sweets. You love donuts, cookies, brownies, candy...anything BUT you always share.

You are really fun to be around and you are really growing up so fast. Today you were on your bed for like 20 minutes trying to make your bed for the first time all by yourself. After you were done you came and told me to close my eyes because you had a surprise for me. I LOVED it. You even let Kyler help you. It had a lot of bumps in it but you (and I) were so proud of you.

The other day I caught you in the front room dancing like Alex (the lion from Madagascar). You stood in the front room and said "you put your legs out then your hands and then you shake your bum." You turned around and saw me looking at you and you got all embarrassed. It was super cute. You are sure cute when you are embarrassed.

I love you Taeg's. I'm sad that you are growing up so fast but it sure is fun to see all the new things you are learning.

Love,
Mom

There's a Bee in my bum.

Taegen had a belly ache.

Mom: "So you need to go potty?"
Taegs: "yes" proceeds to the bathroom and starts crying.
Mom: "What's the matter? Does it hurt?"
Taegen: "My bum hurts. It stings."
Mom: "It's okay."
Taegen: "Get it out!"
Mom: "Get what out?"
Taegen: "The bee. It's stinging me."

Need I say this but there wasn't a bee. Just stingy runny poop. Poor kiddo.

Randomness:

A few random things:

I love how looking at the boys is like looking at stairs even though Taeg's and Kyler are the same age and Strider is 2 1/2 years behind. The difference in height between Strides and Kyler is about the same as between Kyler and Taegen. Love these boys. Me and the boys made a trip to the zoo on Saturday (without Ryan who was working :() because it was 47 degrees. Today it's freezing but we took advantage of the "nice" weather while we could.
Taegen LOVES LOVES snow, outside, sledding..etc. He absolutely LOVES his new sled. Thanks gma. We went sledding a few weeks ago on a hill by our house. It was rather difficult to carry Strider and the tube and try to help Kyler up the hill. Taegen LOVED it. Kyler actually went down the hill twice but wouldn't walk back up. Strider just cried the whole time.
A few days ago the boys were "going to work". They got all the things they needed and then got on their boat. Then they came in the kitchen to give me kisses and hugs. Then they gave Strider kisses and hugs. Then they got on their boat. Taegen started rowing with his horse and totally disheartened said "Mom, we're not moving!" He was so bummed that they weren't moving but they had a great time at work and when they got home they gave me and Strides a hug and a kiss again. Good times.
