My Childrens

I have three kids. Damian, is the oldest and the only boy (poor kid). He turned 3 last month. He's getting so big so fast... its crazy. He counts, he talks, he is so silly that it kills me sometimes. He's an awesome big brother to both of his sisters, when he wants to be. When he comes home from pre-school and I ask him what he did that day he just says, "I had fun" in this completely exasperated-duh-mom! sort of voice.

He likes to eat fruits, and his veggies if he has something to dip them in. The kid LOVES condiments... its really kind of disgusting. He's beyond dramatic. He can go from smiles to tears in seconds. And his little lip is all pushed out and frowning. He is my actor to be :)

Then there is Natalie. Nattie is 1 1/2 and all attitude. She's so damn cute, and she knows it. She will throw a fit from hell if told no. She can deafen you with a shriek when she gets just a little upset. She knows how to make Damian scream and cry. She can talk a little bit. Her favorite word is "No" of course. She also says "Thank you", "Please", "Hello", and "Bye" and who knows how many others.

Nattie really surprised me when we had our other daughter. She does so much better with the baby than I'd thought she would. Nattie knows how to melt you like chocolate in her little pudgy hand.

 And last is Ashleigh. She's only two months old. But she's pretty damn cute if I do say so. I love that she smiles already. My other two wouldn't smile constantly until they were at least 3 months old, and Ashleigh has been doing it for at least the last half of month. Its adorable.

  Usually, my children are running around, screaming, and generally raising hell. But yesterday when they came home from school, they were being so sweet! Ashleigh was in laying on my bed, me and her had been hanging out while everybody was gone. Well, I'd left her there to go outside for a few minutes, and when we came back, there was Nattie, just sitting there chatting away to Ashleigh.

  Then an ornament had fallen off the tree, so I asked Damian to help me put it back on. So he grabs it and takes like 10 minutes trying to decide where he wants to put this ornament. Well Nattie started to get upset because Damian had an ornament, and she didn't, so I got her one that was extra and let her have it. As she was playing with it, she dropped it and it rolled under a chair. She looks at me and goes "Uh-oh!" and starts looking under the chair. Damian was standing there at the time, and immediantly tells me, "Its okay Mom, I'll get it. I'll get it Mom." So he went around the back of the tree and reached under the chair and got her ornament for her. It was just so cute the way he told me that he would get it. He's my big helper.

  So after Nattie had her ornament, another one had been bumped off the tree. Damian was right there to put it back on though. After he put it back on the tree, he started to count the ornaments. He counted all the way to 20 all by himself. I can't believe how big and smart he is getting.... I remember when he was just a baby baby.

  They were just being so cute!!! But it didn't last long, all too soon they were screaming and yelling and causing chaos. But it was great while it lasted
