Ok, let it go!!!

We thought that we were doing such a good job leaving notes from Santa and Rudolph. Boy were we wrong. On Christmas morning Griffin jumped out of bed to see his toys, only to quickly be distracted by this:



He was overcome, not with excitement as we had hoped. He was angry, very angry. He cried " dolph me appale!" (that's Rudolph ate my apple in Griffin talk)and "ho-ho me malk" (Santa drank my milk) He almost could not enjoy his gifts. We quickly removed the evidence hoping he would forget.

Every morning with milk and snack with an apple, he is still bitter.



FIN,let it go,it's been two weeks buddy. I have a feeling he is going to hold a grudge like his dad.

Is it me??

Although I love them, there's something just not right about Mac wearing skulls and crossbones. My guess is he will not be getting in line(like his mother)at 18 for a tattoo. Now his brother????

P.S Is it bad that I'm in my 2nd year of nursing school and I needed to spell check skull??

Is there a doctor in the house???

A little too close to our Swine Flu days, but boy does this boy love to dress up. We are trying to stick to astronauts and doctors. But, I have a little suspicion he would love to sport a tutu!!!

I am feeling a little like Tiger Woods.

I have a confession to make, I am cheating......... On my pediatrician. I love my pedi, I really do. I think I may have the six year itch!!! When I am with him, my attention is with him. He gives us the attention that we need, but I am starting to feel like he is always trying to find time to fit us in his life. A couple of weeks ago he was too busy for us and we had to see someone else. As soon as she walked in and starting talking, and asked me what I thought, I stated to get that First date feeling. I tried to tell myself that it is because it was a new relationship. As the weeks are going by, I find myself making the boys appt. when she will be there and he will not. Today,I got caught! When I was sitting in her office and he walked by I got a pit in my stomach.

Is it even politically correct to switch doctors in the same practice. I really want to spend more time with her, but do not want to give up the relationship I have built with him. I am going to stop seeing her and work on our relationship. I do not feel right just leaving after all we have been through, but maybe there is someone out there better for me. I think I may need counseling.

HE SAID, SHE SAID!!!

Coverstaions with Mac at Christmas:

Mac-I know what I want for next Christmas
Mom- oh, really what??

Mac(on christmas eve) I changed my mind about a gift
Mom- Mac it's too late to change your mind, I don't have a way to get ahold of Santa

Mom- he is trying

Boys will be boys!!!!

Santa did a lot of researching child development books and talking to his friends about boys and weapons. He came to the conclusion that Mac can only play with Thomas the Train for so long. Due to the lack of toys for six year old boys that do not include a weapon of some sort, we needed to make a exception to the "Velardis do not play with weapons rule" Mac desperately wanted a light saber from Star Wars. Santa gave in in bought the weapon. Worried that Mac would have no idea what to do with his new toy, Santa was surprised at the noises and movements that were coming out of this sweet boys. After explaining to Mac that it was not a sword and that he needed to come up with a name for it. He immediately thought of one.
