Updates

While there hasn't been tons to blog about, I thought I might as well update with the latest happenings around the Lasiter Household. First thing we have been dealing with is Hayden's desire to be in charge. One of the main places he likes to do this is with food. He doesn't want to eat (unless it is chips or dry cereal). I started not letting him down from the table until he has eaten X amount of bites. Well one day Jace and I had finished lunch and Hayden refused to eat. We left the room and Hayden sat in the kitchen and talked to himself for awhile. Then he got quiet and I went to check on him. This is what I found. Poor kid. Did he win this battle or did I? He never did eat anymore lunch.


The boys have been into playing pirates. What is it about pirates with little boys?



Jace's class at MMO did a couple plays on different fairytales. Jace was in the one called Cinderlily (a take on Cinderella). He got to be a butterfly and was so excited because, and I quote, "I don't even have to say anything!" Well he did a great job not saying anything and pulling Cinderlilly in the pumpkin wagon.
We also have started preparing for Brynley's arrival. First on the list was to put up bunkbeds so the boys can share a room. Jace was so excited. We haven't moved Hayden yet, we will do that in a couple weeks. Not 24 hours after having completed the bunkbed building, we had our first accident. Jace was trying to hang from the top bunk and flip his legs through his arms. He let go in mid flip and his front two teeth hit the side rail of the bottom bunk. They both bent inward. Blood gushing everywhere. It was a sight. Clint pushed them back straight and we went to see the dentist the following day. We are still watching for infections but they look pretty good. One of the teeth is still loose and may fall out. We will see.One of the best parts of the last couple weeks is Spring creeping in. We have taken advantage of some warm days with playing outside and walking to the park. On this day Jace found a ladybug and it crawled all over him for around 5 minutes. He loved it. Haydens favorite thing at the park is the slides. He will go up the steps and down the slide over and over again. (excuse Jace's funny looking smile. He was still very swollen from the bunkbed incident)
