Great...

Remember this kid?

The one I blogged about yesterday? Yeah, this hunka two-year old has figured out something reeeeeaaaaallllllly cool (insert sarcasm)! So last night, the boys were in bed having their "quiet" reading time before lights out but things started getting awfully rowdy. I went in to tuck them in and found the little scamp pictured above......in Samuel's bed.......jumping.....

Yeah....It's great. He almost broke his leg this morning climbing out of his crib again. Seriously. He has a huge welt/bruise on the front of his ankle from where he got stuck. Lord, help us! We're in trouble!!

Samuel is keeping an eye on that rascally brother of his. He calls to me about every 3 minutes to let me know that he "thinks" Zakkai might be getting out of bed. He's probably right:) Samuel wants to be a good boy so bad right now and earn prizes. His motivation is this little cool hot wheels car waiting in the prize bucket. He wants it so bad he can almost taste it! He was "trying" to be so good yesterday and was begging for the prize but wasn't quite hitting the mark. I caught him sitting on top of our deep freezer and when he didn't get down right away after I asked him, I said it again in a firmer "mommy-voice." He started wailing, collapsed in a heap on the floor and said, "Mommy! Don't SAY that! It hurts my heart...."

Not much else going on other than a busy week this week except Ben is doing really well! He is still recovering and not feeling himself yet BUT he is starting to smell again for the FIRST TIME in almost 3 years.....think about that......It almost brings tears to my eyes to watch him eat and drink because it's a whole new experience when you can taste and smell again:) We are thankful and praying that the surgery continues to work!

Oh how your story of zakkis getting out of bed comes back to me. Aunt Judy was my zakki. Aunt Terri and your mother wanted to sleep but not Judy. She thought getting up in the middle of the night and turning on the light and having a good old time. She could get out of her crib at 1 year old. Oh what fun we had.
