Jacob and Paige....Bozovich???!!!


So I had already emailed Laurel about this a while back, but I thought about it today and thought I should share this. It is too cute (and a bit scary having this conversation with my almost three year old).

There are days when Jacob will wake up earlier than wanted from his nap, so I usually go and lay down with him and either cuddle or have random conversations. Well, a few weeks back, as we are laying there, enjoying our sweet time for the two of us, he looks at me and asks about my "sparkly" ring (engagement ring). I explain to him that the ring was a gift from daddy so that one day we could get married, and that one day when he is bigger, he will buy one for his special girl. Let me just add that for some strange reason, he has been obsessed with wedding and marriage questions. So after my little explanation, he looks at me and says "momma, when I am a grown-up and a civil engineer like daddy, I will buy a sparkly ring like yours for Paige and we will get married too. I will need one like daddy's too. Mine can be red."

I could not believe he had just said that! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mind you that we LOVE our Paigee Poo, but hearing him say this made me acknowledge that one day he will too leave his mom and dad to make his own family. My heart just melted.

So after emailing Laurel about the official announcement, she wrote back saying that Paige was in agreement and loved the idea of a red ring for Jacob...but that she wanted hers to be pink!

Too Cute!!!!!!
So who knows, maybe one day in the "FAR" future, you could be receiving an invite to a wedding for the Fast-Bozovich wedding! ;o)

PS- I added just recent pictures of the two kiddos, because I think Laurel and I would need a separate blog just to write about these two :O) Paigee Poo, we miss you!!

Being a kid


Yesterday I was reminded by Jacob that I once was a kid too. How quickly we forget to enjoy the good, the bad, and the ugly (in my case, the stinky) with our kids who are growing up too fast :O(


Jacob has been potty trained for a few weeks now, and since his 3rd bday is coming up, he wants to be the "big" guy at home. So, when he goes poops, he wants to take care of the cleaning himself. We always go in after he is done and make sure "all" is clean, hands and toosh.


Yesterday, he went in as usual, but was taking too long to come out for back-up and was WAYYY to quite in there. I slowly make my way to the bathroom and hear him giggle to himself. When he sees me, he goes "tadah!!" as if announcing something exciting. I look and he had taken more than half the toilet paper roll and stuffed it in the toilet! Great, just great!! Of course MY initial reaction was to give him a small smack on the bottom and tell him that was a big no-no. As I'm trying to figure out how not to clog the toilet, he looks at me, with his pants still down and with the cutest innocent smile and says "Momma, didn't you ever do this when you where a kid?" That just melted my heart. I said "You know what, you are right. I probably did this once or twice when I was little." He smiled like an accomplice does, pulled up his pants and went to wash his hands without saying anything else :O)


This made me stop and think. I need to relax more, laugh more and let go more. One day he will be all grown up and these days will be all but a sweet and sometimes stinky memory :O)
