Happy Mother's Day
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
Washington Irving
“A mother understands what a child does not say.”
Mr. OCD
Bronson is 21 months old now, and his little personality is emerging very fast.
Lately, I've noticed a certain "organizational" skill he seems to posess. He loves organizing and arranging....EVERYTHING. His diapers, clothes, the food in the pantry.....and household chemicals.
My little anixiety disorder toddler hard at work.
Wait a minute...I want the hand soaps down HERE.
The proud Artiste. Now, if he can get him to master turning all the labels to face forward,we'll be all set. (BTW, I have no idea where his OCD came from)
**Oh yeah, parents, don't let your kids play with toxic chemicals.
Let's Eat!
I like to eat.
My kids like to eat.
Bronson LOVES to eat!
Mo is rarely seen without clutching his wallet or money. Bronson is rarely seen without food and/or drink in his hand.
Going for a spin with Big Bro (and a pizza slice).
Running after Mo, pizza still in hand.
I only need one hand to push brother.
Nice wheels. Great pizza.
And don't even think about trying to take it from his hands!
Happy Friday
Here's some Friday morning handsome to kick your weekend off.
My boy Bronson....always happy as long as he's eating or drinking.
Box of Chocolates
Happy Valentines's Day!
I turned my back for a minute (how many times have you heard that one) and Bronson grabbed a box of chocolates from the counter and went to town!
This is pretty good.
Let me try another one.
Just one more
Mommy's not even looking...hee hee.
Uh-oh. Busted.
Best dinner ever! Thanks mom.

Happy Valentine's Day.
Naomi vs. Angelina
Since I have 2 boys, people are always asking if they have similar personalities. Yes and no.
They are both Gemini. They have a 4 year age difference, but their birthdays are 2 weeks apart.
The easiest way to put it into perspective is this:
Mo (Morris) has the same bday as Naomi Campbell.

B (Bronson) has the same bday as Angelina Jolie.

Mo: Very intense and emotional. He's meticulous and an extreme perfectionist. He is ultra competitive in everything he does and doesn't like to be 2nd best in anything. When he's happy, it's almost as if he's drunk. When he's angry, his jugular vein bulges. He needs attention, but doesn't neccesarily have to be the center of attention at gatherings. He has a quiet confidence and always surveys a situation or circumstance before taking action. Gets bored easily, especially when he's not challenged. He's very protective of people he loves and has a passion for fighting and being physical, although he is rarely the aggressor. Loves the ladies, girls, females, etc...
B: Very carefree and laid back. He adapts well to change and goes along for the ride easily. He loves to laugh and play, often times just by himself. He is extremely independent and does the best when he's just left alone to do his own thing. His favorite activity is eating. He always has food in his hand or mouth. He loves to laugh and thinks everything is funny. He will sit down quietly and read books or do puzzles. He has a pretty good attention span and doesn't get bored with repetivie tasks. Very sweet, fun loving, and happy among loved ones, but cautious and quiet around unfamiliar faces.
We'll see what happens over the next few years. Otherwise, I'm content with my little Naomi and little Angelina. :-)
Siblings
One thing I'm learning about having 2 kids is all about sibling relationships. Morris and Bronson are 4 years apart. They want to play with each other, but sometimes it's hard for a 5 year old to communicate with a 1 year old and vice versa.
I'm learning the fine line of parental intervention and when to just let them "work it out". I don't want Morris to feel that I'm always taking Bronson's side then Mo feels alienated and like I chose "the baby" over him. At the same time, I don't want to teach Bronson to be passive and feel like I'm gonna always step in and save him when there's an altercation.
So lately, I've just been sitting back and watching how things play out and intervene at the last minute as a last solution.
Mo: Look at my cool R2D2.
Bronson: Hmm...what's my brother have? Looks kind of interesting. I'm gonna check it out.
Bronson: Oh yeah, that's cool. I sure wish I could play with it...
Mo: I said "NO" you little shit. Buzz off.
Mo: Beat it Bronson.
Bronson: Ok, fine, if you're not gonna show me how R2D2 works, I'll just read my books.
Mo: Ok, fine, it has a remote control that makes it work...
Mo: Then, R2D2 starts moving and talking...
Bronson: I don't get it...lemme just get a little closer.
Mo: That's too close little brother. Back it up.
Mo: You got too close bro.
Bronson: Just lemme see the remote then...please...
Mo: This kid is annoying.
Mo: When are you gonna get it through your thick head...
Bronson: When are you gonna get it through your thick head...
Mo: I'm gonna have to show him who the BIG BROTHER is around these parts.
Mo: I'm locking R2D2 in the bathroom. Now, scram half-pint.
Mo: Lie down and take a nap.
Bronson: Don't do that brother...I'm warning ya.
Mo: OUCH! Ok, fine you can see R2D2
Bronson: I warned ya.
Sometimes, situations just have a way of working themselves out.
Non-Toxic
People are always asking why I don't talk about my younger son as much as Mo.
That's easy. Bronson is 19 months. He doesn't really do much besides laugh, hide my beloved posessions, eat, and sleep. Nice life.
Sometimes when I write, he likes to play in the kitchen opening drawers, rearranging snacks in the panty, etc.
The other day I was writing and when I looked up, I saw he found Mo's arts and crafts box. Thank goodness those Crayola markers are non toxic.
At least he didn't write on the walls.
