Things of Quinn

Sunday, Sept. 15
After church Quinn had to go potty.  He got out of the stroller and ran to the nearest tree.  He was peeing before I realized what was going on.  I didn't want to stop him midstream so I told him to hurry.  He was pointing it every which way and making it obvious he was going.  I could see the stream.  It was shooting straight up.  I'm surprised he didn't pee on himself.  Good thing it was quick.  It was a 100 yards from the front doors of the church and just off the walkway.  Lots of people were around.  I tried to not point notice to it.

Monday, Sept. 16
Quinn told me that he doesn't like his baby (Paxton) and asked if we could take him back and get a new one.  I asked him what was wrong with this one and he responded that this one was mean.  I just laughed.

Yesterday at nursery we were talking about loving our family.  They asked him how he loves his family and he responded by giving hugs but then added on that sometimes they get mad at me. 

Then today as we were walking into a store he yells at the top of his lungs that it stinks in here.  It was obvious they were trying to make it smell good.

I am realizing we are getting into Quinn will tell all and I am bound to be embarrassed.  These experiences aren't bad.  I'm just waiting...something juicy or ultra embarrassing has to be around the corner.

I took Quinn into nursery today.  Paxton turned 18 months yesterday.   I tried to drop him off too.  Quinn was super needy and kept asking if I would stay with him.  I told him I would stay for a bit.  I knew I would need to if I had any hope of Paxton staying too.  When I tried to sneak out they both started to cry hysterically.  Luckily, Quinn calmed down easy but Paxton kept crying.  They kept distracting him.  That only worked for so long.  Quinn said he needed to go to the bathroom.  At the same time, they brought Paxton to me too.  After Quinn went potty he wouldn't go back to nursery.  I had both of them in Sunday School.

I took both boys back during snack time.  I was able to sneak away without either crying.  Later I could hear Paxton crying.  It wasn't too long before they brought him to me.  Quinn stayed for the remainder of church.  I understand why Paxton doesn't want to go to nursery.  It took Quinn a long time to go as well.  Quinn hasn't had a problem for the longest time.  It was weird that he refused to go and was so needy toward me.  Mike started a new job where he works Sunday now.  Our routine is a little off.  It makes me wonder if that is having an effect on him.

Sunday Sept. 22
We were reading books before nap time.  I was reading a book called When I Grow Up...  I asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up.  He replied, "A bird!" I asked why.  "So, I can fly!" Funny kid!

Lol! Your life with two little boys sounds a lot like mine. Jed drops his pants and pees wherever he pleases too. We'll work on that next summer, I think. ;)
