Cute
Today Cannon and I were sorting clothes in Sutton's room. Cannon pulled out a light blue sleeper with a truck on it and said, "Mommy, Look. This is cute!"
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss
We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday with a few friends.
Joy took these cute pictures of the kids with her fish eye lens. The kids all looked like Seuss characters.
Gina reading a book while I made pizza.
We read the foot book and traced all the kids feet.

Poem by a Diligent Mother
I'll stand in the gap for my son.
I'll stand til the victory's won.
This one thing I know
That You love him so,
And Your work with my child is not done.
I'll stand in the gap every day,
And there I will fervently pray;
And, Lord, just one favor
Don't let me waver
If things get quite rough, which they may.
I'll never give up on that boy.
Nor will You, for You promised him joy.
For I know it was true
When he said "Yes" to You,
Though the enemy seeks to destroy.
I'll not quit as I intercede,
For You are His Savior, indeed!
Though it may take years,
I give You my fears,
As I trust every moment I plead.
And so in the gap I will stand,
Heeding Your every command,
With help from above,
I'll unconditionally love,
And soon he will reach for Your hand.

Explode!
Today in Walmart the check out girl said, "You look like you are about to explode!" I said, "Well, that is rude". She looked at me like I was the crazy one for saying such.

What is Our Little Monkey Been up to?
Lately, Cannon has just been cracking us up! I have been meaning to write these things down but keep forgetting...so this may be a random post.
-Cannon is calling his Daddy"Brett", all the time. I laugh every time, I probably should not.
-He asks for his sunglasses a lot, in the car of course but also when he wakes up in the morning and the light in the bathroom is to bright for him. He asks me to go to the car and get his glasses.
-He LOVES hanging out with "Joey/Dev". He asks for them all the time and talks about them as one "entity". This is how the conversation goes: "Where Joey/Dev? Baby River cries." He cannot mention Dev's little sister without saying she cries. Funny thing is she mostly SLEEPS. It is still funny when he says it.
-His obsession with his brother continues. He now places his hands on my tummy and moves them really fast and says, "Wiggle, Baby, Wiggle". He has also felt the baby move so he always puts his hands on my tummy and says that Sutton is moving even when he is not.
-He is AWESOME at using the potty. Potty Training with him was a breeze. He just "got it" and I think it is because he was just so ready. So wait, Mamas, until your kid is ready and hopefully it will be easy for you too. Hopefully, Sutton will be easy too. :)
-Tonight during bedtime, we were talking about the baby and I asked if he was going to play with Sutton when he comes out of my tummy. He said yes and then began to push and pull at my tummy, saying "Get out, Baby, get out!"
-Cannon can now "cook" his own pancakes. He has to be held up to put them in the microwave but he knows which button to press on the microwave.
-He LOVES chocolate milk and asks for it CONSTANTLY! He does it with a sweet little smile and a quick show of that cute dimple and then he says "please" and then shakes his head and says, "Yes, Mommy".
-He is really growing up. I took him to a Parents Night Out event at church Friday night and he did not even care that I left him. He also is now soooooo great about his new class at church. He really doesn't mind going now. It is so comforting that he likes school and church now. It is also amazing that so many people at our church know him, even people that I do not know. I love knowing that all these people are loving on my little boy.
-I love that he can have mini-conversations and when he WANTS to he can be very rational. WANTS to is the key.
-He can also be extremely irrational. Mainly when I have made the MISTAKE and let him stay out when we should be home and in bed! If we pass naptime/bedtime he lets me pay for it dearly. :)
-Since potty training he has become a bad sleeper again. He was sleeping from about 8 or 8:30pm until 6:30-8am. Now he wakes up to go "pee pee potty". On a good night he may wake up only twice but he needs help to go potty so that requires us to go in to him and then sometimes he wants to cuddle, or play or he is very upset/tired and has a hard time going back to sleep. He has also been battling his allergies/asthma/cold since January. I think this is contributing to his waking too. One night last week he slept from 8-5:30 and then the next night he went to sleep at 8pm and woke at 1am, 2am, 3am, 5am and 6am! ARGH!! It is killing me! On the bright side, I will be ready when Sutton arrives!
-Loves wearing his "crocky shoes".
-He now says, "Go away, Mommy and/or Daddy". He also says, "No way" when he doesn't want something or doesn't want you to do something.
-Okay, I know there is more and I will try to think of more things and let you know soon enough...

Pie in the Face
Recently, Brett was involved in a "pie throwing" fundraiser to benefit Crisis Ministries in downtown Charleston. He with three other Enterprise Area Leaders were the victims!! Employees paid $5 a pie and this is what Brett looked like.
Cannon was TERRIFIED of his Dad and Brett's City Manager, Kristen, who happened to be dressed in ALL yellow and looked like Big Bird.
He did enjoy throwing a couple of pies at Daddy!
He was an AMAZING sport and actually acted like he enjoyed it. Which was great, because not everyone acted the same way. I think he raised more money than anyone else. Not sure if that was because of his great attitude OR because he is SO loved. :)
