I had a very proud mommy moment with Thomas last week. We were in the grocery store and as we were leaving he spotted a coin on the ground. I had seen two ladies drop it but didn't think much about it. He apparently noticed them drop it too, and ran to catch them before they got out of the store.
Now we are talking one coin here... a quarter actually...but also...this is a boy who LOVES money (there is no loose change around my house...it all finds it's way to a piggy bank)
Anyway...he chases them down and tells them they dropped the money...they gush over him and tell him thank you and THEN...tell him he can KEEP the money!!! Well you would have thought he won the lottery.
We had a good talk on the way home about choosing the right and how good it makes you feel. I was so proud of him...all over a quarter :)
Now for Michael...
All last weekend he had a tooth that was loose (and had been for quite some time) but he was ready for it to come out...so he wiggled and wiggled it and pronounced it ready. Now anyone who knows me knows how I feel about wiggley teeth...YUCK!! they make my stomach turn!!
Sunday morning, he really wanted it out, it was bleeding...so I gathered all my bravery and tried to pull it to no avail. He tried to call grandma to do it but she didn't answer the phone...so I told him to wait until Daddy got up then we'd have him try. Well, daddy tried, really tried, and told Michael he'd just have to keep working on it...it wasn't ready.
Well...this of course didn't make Michael happy. He said "it is too ready dad" reached in his mouth and popped out the tooth...all by himself. Needless to say I laughed really hard...then we called grandma to tell her nevermind :)
Think he's proud of himself much ?!
Now for the youngest of our children (who still doesn't have a name...but will I promise)
He will be arriving by the 13th at the latest (yes, I know it's friday the 13th, and I DON'T care) Actually...that will be if he waits until the 13th...my dr. is starting to get worried about low fluid again. I had some extra tests yesterday and all is still fine, but if anything changes...that will move up the delivery date...which is fine by me :) I'm 38 weeks now...full term. We're ready for baby to be here...just have to pack the bags.
And here is a picture that I do NOT want to post but was told I have to.
No, I'm not having twins...yes,I am due soon...yes,I am uncomfortable, Thanks :)
(p.s. sorry everything is so squished together...I can't make the spacing work right this morning for some reason)

I am so proud of you for posting your belly. That is something I refused to do. I love the story about Thomas he is sooooo cute. And I am so proud of Michael for pulling his tooth. I hope they never grow back he is too cute without them.
What a wonderful family you have. I wish my kids were that cute.
Nat,
I think you look amazing. I may post a picture of me when I was 38 weeks prego with twins just to make you feel better. I have been thinking about you everyday and watching the blog for news!! Good luck!!
Ok, Thomas' story made me tear up. He is amazing. I wish I could have seen his face when they told him he could keep the money. Great job choosing the right Thomas.
