hey dude...the name's mommy!

In case you haven't heard this a million times before, kids grow up way too fast!  Case in point...Cayden has started calling me "Mom" and it makes we want to cry thinking that I'm not Mommy any more.  I have no idea where get got this whole "Mom" thing but he seems to like the word and even places extra emphasis when he really wants something.  All of my nagging corrections when he says it have had absolutely no impact whatsoever.  I know this is just what happens but I can't help complaining a little bit and wishing that he was still my sweet, baby boy who wanted nothing more than cuddle time with Mommy instead of this mouthy, demanding, too-smart-for-his-own-good, 3 year old with an attitude who thinks that Mom is ridiculous.  Yes, he actually told me this weekend that I was ridiculous. 

Here is our weekend in review: Harper trys to chew on the dogs, particularly Gracie,       
when she sees them laying anywhere she can get to quickly.  Molly moves away just as fast but Gracie, being the good sport that she is and the perfect dog around kids, just lets her baby crawl all over her and chew on her head.

Cayden may have a slight touch of OCD and his perfect line of left-over Christmas Hershey's kisses that Mom was instructed not to touch is a shining example of this.

You know that you had a good weekend at home with your kids when they are playing nicely together!
