Brigham Cleans His Room
The other day I am on the phone in the hall and Brigham comes running out of his room naked. He throws the closet door open and grabs some Febreeze. I said, “Brigham, what are you doing?”
He responded, “I just need this real fast Dad” and started to run back to his room.
I grabbed the Febreeze from him and went to inspect. There were two poop stains on Jacob’s bed. Brigham had a baby wipe that he was using to furiously scrub them. When that didn’t appear to be working he had decided that he needed some Febreeze.
So, here is how it all happened. He had gone to the bathroom and some sort of accident had occurred where he had gotten his underwear and pants wet. He was embarrassed that he had had an accident so, after he was done on the toilet, instead of asking for help cleaning himself up like he is supposed to, he ran to his room to get some clean clothes. The problem is that he uses Jacob’s bed to climb up to get his underwear out of the top drawer of his dresser. When he sat with his naked and dirty bum on Jacob’s bed it left a mark. When he saw the mark he panicked because he knew Mommy would be upset so he instantly went to work cleaning up his mess.
Caleb
Caleb has turned into a smiley guy. He just hangs out all of the time and smiles. He just seems happy to be alive. Jacob really loves being around him. He is always trying to snuggle up to him and Caleb doesn’t seem to mind at all.
Lobster Night
Nathan received a Lobster-gram from a guy he works with and invited me over to enjoy it. It was incredible. There was lobster bisque, lobster cakes and the two biggest lobsters I have ever seen. We couldn’t finish it all. The two lobsters had arrived alive. Brigham came with us but wasn’t thrilled with the look of the whole lobsters.
Running Day
Yesterday was declared by Brigham to be running day. He got his running shirt and shoes on and he and I went running. We were just barely on the paseo and he started huffing and puffing, “Man, I’m getting really sweaty.”
Pirate Ships
Brigham got a “Black Pearl” pirate ship last night from Nathan and Kiersten for Christmas. He was so excited. We were then watching “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and when I pointed out his boat in the movie he about went nuts.
