Growing Up Sadler


My boys are all growing up too fast these days!
Dylan is becoming a big kid, telling me he knows times (multiplication, although I think he only knows one or two), why one lady bug was on top of another lady bug (I can't use those words Mom, except another word for it is mating hee hee), and he even made his own top ramen the other day.
Lincoln is turning into a little boy with no more pacifier, able to hit a ball with a bat if you throw it and even count to five. He is fearless. The other day he was jumping on the bed in the spare bedroom, jumped with his face into the wall and kept jumping. It was only until Dylan announced that there was blood on the white comforter did Lincoln even notice he had given himself a bloody nose. You gotta be tough to be a Sadler boy.
He didn't even cry!
 I also taught Lincoln how to use scissors the other day during our little summer school session. He did great trying to get his stubby chubby fingers in the holes and loved cutting the edges of paper over and over. Little did I know how well he actually learned how to use scissors. He came to me while I was doing something unimportant and said "haircut, haircut" and had the scissors at the top of his head. I pulled at his hair and a nice sized chuck came out, see picture below. I also asked him where he cut his hair and there was a nice little pile on the floor in the bonus room. At least he is so hairy that it isn't glaringly obvious he cut it.
His little blondie locks.
In the Sadler house sometimes people do things that aren't always nice on accident. The other day Linc got frustrated with a toy and flung it down in front of him, falling on the unfortunate head of Dylan. Man to head wounds hurt. Luckily it was just a tiny little scrape on the head but it bled like crazy. Fortunately the white shirt didn't hold any sentimental value and could just be thrown out. Dylan is fine today and has forgiven his brother in case you are wondering.
Trying to keep Dylan calm.
Lincoln is working on communicating. It is taking longer than I planned:



Luckily my boys do love each other and are sure darn cute. 

Brother Feet


Warner is my baby. My last baby. How can he possibly be growing up so fast! Did you see that video above? Yes he rolled over. And just for good measure because it looked like Dylan helped him, I made him try it three more times yesterday... and he rolled over three more times... usually crying but he did it. What a mean mommy. I think he is just ready to play with the big boys already.

  1. This post reminds me of the first aid video I watched yesterday--lots of bleeding--but in your case it wasn't simulated. I guess that's going to happen with boys. You are a trooper Shannon. The boys sure love each other and I'm sure you have a lot to do with that:)

  2. Boys 'r gonna do what they do. Cheryl, you fielded a few bloody encounters with Josh and came thru unscathed. As a parent one doesn't have time to think about it, you just fix it.

    I love seeing the boys and how much they love each other!

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
