Thoughts and Ramblings

i forgot to mention that my darling zander started swim lessons last saturday! he has them every saturday for the month of october. it was absolutely hilarious to watch. we have to hide in a room and watch through a tinted window....but it was funny! zander hates having his face wet and to watch the teacher pour a watering can of water on them was quite entertaining to me. the lengths i have gone through to wash his hair has been ridiculous...and here this lady thought she was going to pour water on him? zander tipped his head back and wrapped his arms around his eyes and let her know how unhappy he was. she said they were seeds that needed to be watered to grow. afterwards i asked zander what he thought about that and he said he was a seed and he died. he didn't like water on him. hahaha...my darling boy.
today after naps zander adn ronan were playing outside. i was inside feeding jade and listening to their interactions. usually there is a lot of fighting, but today was different. zander was in control and ronan was willingly submissive. i kept hearing "ronan go get me sand", "ronan bring those rocks", "ronan get me that toy", to which ronan replied everytime with "ok bubba". i think ronan loved being needed. ronan adores his brother and wants to do everything he does. but he can also be a pill when he wants zander's toy! :) thats when he pulls out his punches and slaps and makes zander submit. i know they will grow up being the best of friends...eventually.
now that the colds are done, things have gotten much better! the kids are more fun and less whiny. and we've had some great days together. jade is just adorable lately too. she's hilarious when she laughs and giggles. i just want to eat her up all the time. she loves swinging outside with her brothers and just laughs at their antics. she is balding in a weird way and i swear she's getting auburn hair. she has this mohawk strip down the middle that is really long hair and i kind of wrap around the front. i don't want to cut it cause i love giving her piggy tails and her top knot. it's just that she needs to wear them everyday or she looks like a little grumpy old man! :)
btw i love having my husband home on weekends this year. it's fabulous! all the fall festivities he's able to attend this time and the kids are loving that. next weekend we're doing the trick or treating at seaworld. zander absolutely loves that. his two favorite things, trick or treating and shamu.
well i guess thats it for now.
