1. Not sleeping. Ever. (Isaac) Although this is getting better as we approach 6 months old!
2. Actually regressing in potty training (is that possible when they've never peed on the potty?)
3. Yelling over and over 'keep talking!' when you are, in fact, talking about their 3 imaginary mice (fee fee, foo foo and fa fa). And, in fact, you have been talking about them for the last 2 hours, yet the stories aren't exactly right (probably because every time I say something, it's wrong and must be corrected) Here's an example of one of my stories:
carter: let's keep talking about fee fee foo foo and fa fa.
me: so what are they doing today?
carter: ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ playing outside
m: OK, so fee fee foo foo and fa fa are getting ready to go outside so they put on their teeny tiny glov-
c: NOOOOOO!
m: what?
c: they heard a noise!
m: OK, what kind of noise?
c: GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
m: ooooooo, what was it?
c: You say it.
m: a tiger
c: NOOOOOOOO!
m: what was it?
c: You say it.
m: ummmm, a -
c: it's a tiger!
m: Oh, a tiger! So they are playing outside and they heard a noise...
c: NOOOOO! (quite upset) they weren't playing OUTSIDE! they were in the basement! (duh, mama)
Anyway, you get the drift. I should make a recording someday to get a real transcript, but that is pretty accurate...
Even though my stories are all unfinished, I never get to shower, I'm out of shape and can barely keep the house clean, I must admit I hug my kids tighter than I should, give them more kisses then they really need and take way too many pictures. These boys are my world right now and I love them to pieces.
Here are a few of my 'cutest kids ever' photos.
And here's Isaac leaning in for a kiss from Maude (Rebecca and Jake's daughter) while she pretends not to notice.

Pictures = hilarity! PS *my* boy is the kewtest. :)
Kate loves #3 especially, and the coy girl blowing off Issac. Too cool for Issac(ool)!
It's definitely a parental hormone. And thank goodness for it! But your two are damn cute all around. I love seeing Maude and Isaac together - how fun!!
In your list, is #2 about Lars? It is, isn't it. You are raising three children.
After some thought, yes, #2 could have to do with Lars since he will go outside to pee rather than into the bathroom more often than not....
I am raising 3 children. The third is off in his drinking bowling league right now (Carter)
Well, not being a mom and only subjected to the blunt end of the aforementioned maternal hormones I have to make a case for my kids being the cutest. Well, at least they were the cutest kids on Monday when they gave me lots of hugs, ate all of their meals, picked up all of their toys and played nicely together. Yesterday, they probably finished just outside the top 10 cutest kids.
I really love the commentary. I miss you. Thanks for the pics, keep 'em coming!
Nice stories and pics, Susan. Isaac looks like he learned his moves from his dad.
