The Challenges of a 3 Year Old
Getting Sidney up from her nap. I gave her a quick rinse and was putting new clothes on her to go play at the gym. She fussed about the clothes I had selected because they did not match what Avery was wearing. I looked through her closet and could not find anything blue that she could wear to match Avery. So at my wits end I went through Avery's clothes finding a similar shirt in color and style and threw it on Sidney. Gave her a pair of jeans and her tennis shoes and out the door we went.
Amy met me at the gym. She came over to the main floor where I was working out with a puzzling look on her face. What is Sidney wearing? I told her my story of the 3 year old wanting to match her brother. She said..."well her shirt is up to here.." I replied... "Well her pants go up to here." She was wearing a 24 month old shirt with 3 toddler pants! The lady on the eliptical next to me started laughing. Realizing she was over hearing our family drama, I explained to her that we have a 3 year old and a18 month old. Amy went to class. Five minutes later she was still snickering on her machine.
Come to find out.. Amy knows this lady from the classes she's been taking. Made it even funnier!

10/16/2010 Time For An Update...
It's been a while since I've given an update... so here goes.
Sidney is doing well in pre-school for age ummm.. 3. Progress note on Friday told us she is doing S in all categories. She needs to improve her skills of putting on a sweater. I don't think Sidney knows what a sweater is... we just put it on her this week when the temp went below 60!
Avery Jackson... he is all boy! And is learning quick from his older sister. Though he has his feelings right there on the edge. His latest funny is with Grandpa Clarke. Grandpa Clarke can't hear the TV. Especially when the family comes to visit. So we got him some headphones that connect to the TV. Sometimes when we are there he'll sneak in the living room... put on his headphones and we don't hear a peep from him unless we need him. The other day.. Avery was talking to Grandpa Clarke. But Grandpa Clarke had his headphones on. Grandma Janet finally went over to Grandpa Clarke telling him that Avery had something to say to him. Grandpa Clarke gave Avery a few minutes to mumble out what he was trying to say. Right now it's jibberish but he wanted to say it and even more importantly for Grandpa to hear it! So Grandma Janet showed Avery that when he needs Grandpa's attention to just hit his leg. Now everytime Grandpa Clarke puts the headphones on... Avery runs over to him and slaps him! It's pretty comical at the Clarke's house.
Amy... she is doing well! Work Work Work.. is all that she is about at the moment. She is training one of the midwives this month and her call schedule is funky this month. But this too shall pass!
Me? I have new digs! Starting October 25th.. I will be a UNIT SECRETARY for Labor & Delivery at St. Lukes Hospital. You know the one that Amy works out of. We look forward to this move because I need to be off on the weekends now that the kids are older. I also want to get involved in our new church!
I want to meet new people and make friends! The new job also comes better hours working 3 nights for 12 hours. I can still be a stay-at -dad!

10/04/2010 Adventure in Austin...
So Amy took the kids to Austin for Julie's baby shower. They were staying the weekend so Amy thought the best sleeping arrangements would be to put Sidney on the floor in the room with grandma and grandpa. Amy took the blow up mattress and slept in the bonus room with Avery. This would be the best scenerio for everyone to get sleep. Everyone went to bed around 10pm. Sidney woke grandma up at midnight stating that she rolled off her mat on the floor. Grandma helped to get her settled and went back to bed. Sidney then got up around 2am and got in bed with grandma and grandpa. If you've ever been in the same house with Sidney asleep she talks in her sleep.. more of a loud groan. She started this around 3am. Amy got up to go to the restroom... came back to the bonus room to find her bed deflatted! If you have one of these blow up beds you know you can't just put more air in without waking the whole house. So Avery was the only one that got sleep!
Amy got called out of church because of Sidney. Sidney had wet her pants, dress, clear into her boots. Amy stripped her down as far as you can in church and sat with her in the back of church. 15 minutes later... Sidney was complaining of being cold!
I'm a very supportive husband. Amy called me at work to tell me about this crazy weekend. It wasn't until I was trying to tell this story to co-workers that I got so tickled trying to tell it!
I love you Amy.. and I'm sorry you had to sleep on the floor!
