"Preferable" wording

Today is a work day for Mommy, so I've primarily been in the office working on the reporting for owners, but on occasion I take a break to see my boys. It's been a pretty "lay low" day for the boys because Isaac is recovering from a night of projectile vomiting. Thankfully, it only happened twice, but truthfully, I had never seen anything like this. It was coming out of his nose and mouth at a force that was stronger than Hurricane Katrina! Poor kiddo.

Without my prompting, after the first episode, in a sad voice Isaac said, "Too many sweets!" The kid is smart. I was a bad mom this weekend and let him go two days without his carrots and broccoli and he had s'mores for the first time, waffles with syrup and whipped cream, a piece of cake, a cookie, and more at brunch with the family. I kind of can't believe I let him do all that, but I just thought...only this weekend. Well, his poor little body couldn't take it all and he hadn't had enough sleep. Poor kid. The good news is, he now is a bit afraid of sweets! :-)

This afternoon, because he has been in the recovering mood, after his nap, I allowed him to choose a video. I pointed out a few and he politely told me, "No, mommy, I'd prefer a different one." His vocabulary cracks me up at times!

Thankfully, Isaac appears to be on the mend and Austin hasn't shown any signs of projectile vomiting, so that's a good thing. (By the way: Murphey's Law never fails -we just got our carpets cleaned a few weeks ago and a week after, our friends' son threw-up on the stairs after blueberry pancakes and then Isaac had his episodes last night, which started in the hallway on our carpet. Plus, I did a thorough cleaning on the bathroom just Saturday!! Oh well...life with kids!)

I think we may just start calling Austin, "spazz," in a loving way, of course, but the kid is crazy! Today he ran head into a drawer in the kitchen, turned around, fell off balance, and then kept on ticking. He really is a funny kid.
