Eskimo

     Today at boot camp for warm up we had to run around the track at the arema and when we got to the letters that spelled eskimo we had to run down and back up the stairs and then keep on going.  It was very tiring and my quads BURNED but can anyone relate when I say the burnage feels good.  It makes me feel like I am doing something good for my body.  I also like the wet hair and beads of sweat dripping off my nose.  I though this whole getting up at 5am things and getting ready and going to the gym might kill me but it diddn't.  I love it!  I get up before everyone else have breakfast and read a book for a bit.  I get to see the sun rise in the peace and quiet and I get to smell and breath the fresh crisp undisturbed air.  Then I sweat and sweat and sweat and by the time I get home from the gym usually everyone is still sleeping.  Although one day I did find Atley cuddled up in his cardboard house that sits behind the couch with a blanket and a pillow.

     After everyone was up this morning Brian told Atley to look inside the box on the floor.  He said it was for him.  So Atley found the box and opened it to find some hand me down train tracks and stuff.  It was so cute cause he said, That's wonderful, I love it. Thank you.  Where does he come up with this stuff?

     Ya know, Anthany never really repeated anything and still doesn't much.  He has his own mind and does his own thing and always like to push the limmits or not stop till he got it right.  I may not have to worry about him giving in to peer pressure or going along with the croud when he is a teen ager cause he isn't a follower.  He is a leader and very persistant.  BUT.  Atley on the other hand repeats EVERYTHING.  He comes home from school singing all the songs even if the words arent quite right. Or he will copy what Brian or I or someone on the tv is saying.  This is why I wonder where he heard this "that's wonderful, I love it. Thanks you." from.  It all gets stored in his brain and it all comes out sooner or later.  Atley is the child that I will have to worry about doing things just cause everyone else is.  Or being talked into doing things he knows he shouldn't do.  But he is also the child that will do well in school cause he retains and repeats alot of information.   Mmmm what will Alex be like?  Will he be the tipical youngest child and turn out to be a class clown?  I can't wait to see these boys grow up so I can see who they have become and be proud.  God hepl me to parent them well!

     Well for a bit of a funnier story...  What do you get when you cross Brian standing on a bed closing the blinds and a fan that is spinning on the ceiling?  A bloody gash on the head.  After he closed the blinds he stood up and turned to get off the bed and walked right into then.  When he told me about it I couldn't help but laugh.  Sorry baby, I know it hurt, but I still can't help laughing when I think about it now.  Anyone else it probably wouldn't have been so funny but this is Brian and you might have to know him to understand what I mean.

     Another funny, funny thing this evening was when I was reading Atley his bed time story.  I had already read Anthany his and put him to bed, he was looking out his window watching for lightning and listening to the thunder.   There were some pretty load cracks of thunder, made the house shake.  Anyway I was reading to Atley and Brian went into Anthanys room( Anthany didn't see him, to busy looking out his window) and made a really load noise like thunder.  Anthany screemedlike a little girl!  It was so funny I started laughing in the middle of the book.  I tried to compose myself and finish the book but everytime I let my mind wander to that screem all I could do was laugh.
