Wake Up Call!?!?!

Here is what happened this morning from 2 different perspectives:

A Grandma's Perspective:

"I got my wake-up-phone call at 7:15AM this morning. This phone call was one that I actually got a kick out of. I actually found my self laughing out loud. So here is how the conversation went;

Becky: "Hello"

Caller: no answer

Becky: "Helllooo"

Caller: no answer

Becky: "Hellllloooo"

Caller: "hi' giggle, hi, giggle, hi, giggle, jibber-jabber-giggle, excitement scream, another hi, giggle, hi giggle, jibber-jabber scream, jibber-jabber, jibber-jabber- giggle hi, excited scream. This went on for maybe 5 minutes. I could hear Alexis talk like Holly used to  (sounding like real words but in a different language) without stopping,and then Jeremiah did the same. It was so funny I was laughing and talking to them, they would talk in their own language and throw in a hi here and there. Next I heard their mommy's groggy half asleep voice, "what are you doing?" give me my phone" Scream, scream, scream, scream.

Next, Holly got on the phone to tell me that the kids were in her closet with the phone. They somehow pushed the right button and got me, and the squealing woke her. But I thought it was a riot!! Then the kids told Grandma Bibi bye and they both said their bye and quit the screaming. I continued laughing for a while and then dozed back to sleep. I enjoyed my wake up call!"

  A Mother's Perspective:

Toddlers: Hi mama, Hi, Hi

Holly: mmmm, go back to bed, go play in your room, (eyes remained closed and back to sleep I go)

Toddlers: alke, doeohslkd, alidao, aodn, "Hi", ahdopoik, adoiadkls, "Hi"

Faint, but familiar voice: "Ha, ha, is your mommy there? Where is mommy?"

Toddlers: in the midst of laughing the word rambling continued

Holly: (eyes 1/2 open, rolling out of bed, see's closet door open) What are you doing? Give me that phone! (fear sets in... who did they call?) GASP!

Toddlers: SCREAMING!!! (interpretation: why did you ruin our fun? we were talking to Bibi)

Then, as stated above, I found out it was my mom they called, thank goodness. I told them to say goodbye, luckily they obliged. Therefore, I got up before my alarm clock, because of that wonderful "wake up call

a little guilty

Well, today I feel a little guilty. Jeremiah is pretty sick today, and still very fussy. So, you all must think I am a terrible mommy. Yesterday, must have been worse than normal for me to vent about the tears. Today, that I know he is sick, I don't mind as much if he is fussy. It's just so hard going out with him, because he doesn't want to be in the stroller & he doesn't want to nap. Every time we go out all he will do is scream. If I hold him, he will be quiet but then his sister wants to be held too and I cant hold both and push the stroller. (Well, I can but it's not easy) Ahhh... I guess I should stop venting about all of this and just deal with it. Sorry!



Cousin Kaia: This blog is sort of like my journal and scrapbook so I wanted to share a little about Kaia our niece. She started saying the babies names now too and it's so cute. She says "Aundy, Ugoo, Leki, & Miah" She sometimes just calls the babies "beeby." Her mom tells us that she looks at our pictures and repeats "Hi Aundy, Hi Ugoo, Bye Aundy, Bye Ugoo" Kind of in a sing song tone. It's cute, I've heard her do it a few times. She is definitely a huge part of our lives. And I am thrilled all the kids will have each other to grow up with and we will have so many shared memories. (Oh, one more thing. She cracks me up because she'll call my name over and over and over, when I ask her what she'll just point the one of the babies and say "beeby" or sometimes say nothing at all. So sometimes I have fun and do it to her, then she laughs)
