It's official...we have smiling!!!

For a few weeks, we've seen occasional glimmers of a smile that didn't seem to be in response to much in particular except for Jackson...he LOVES Jackson and almost-smiled the most for him. Then on Christmas, Luke smiled a bunch at Aunt K-K, and yesterday he flirted and grinned with Grandma. But today, FINALLY, I got some smiles pointed at me!! He had just woken from a 4 hour nap in his swing, so he was in a really good mood, I guess. Note the beautiful dimple! Isn't he a cutie??

"Is Santa going to bring me rocks?"

This is what Cody asked me tonight. LOL

We've been having a major battle over potty words...eg. poop, weiner, etc. Honestly, I don't care if they use them in the house, 'cause they're boys and it's hilarious, right? But Jacks got in trouble at school earlier this year for using potty language, and apparently Cody called one of his little classmates "butthead" on Monday.

So, we're working on ONLY using potty words IN the potty. This is hard for my boys. LOL I finally lost my temper today and got pretty mad about it.

Jacks and Cody and I had been talking a few weeks ago about how Santa has a list of naughty and nice kids, and the naughty kids only get coal in their stocking. I described coal as little rocks.

Hence, poor Cody was worried that his potty talk was going to result in Santa bringing him rocks.

Teehee.

We got a gingerbread kit at Target last weekend, and lucky thing we did...it gave us something to do on this stormy afternoon.
