Allred Fam: They Take After Their Mom

They Take After Their Mom

I bet that by reading our blog, you probably don't know how cool we think our kids are. Is it just me? Or is every parent like this? I have two of the coolest little boys in the world.

We were very glad to have Thatcher back in school after the break. Not that we didn't enjoy having him at home, but he really needed the social interaction. He loves his teachers in school, and always has fun stories to tell about the kids in his class. Each week he has a different letter of the day. Everything that they do for the day, has something to do with that letter. This week was "K". And because Thatcher was the "Special Leader" for the day, we had to bring treats for the class. Kit Kats had already been done this week, and I thought kiwis would be too messy, so we bought a bag of bite-size Chips Ahoy, and renamed them to be "Kid Size Cookies". Lame...I know...but what else could I have done?

Luke is really starting to get a personality. He has a hard time being left alone for more than about 3.2 seconds, and likes to be breast-fed every 30 minutes at night, but other than that...way low maintenance!!! This kid is always smiling. He smiles and laughs at just about anything. Still not crawling...not sitting up, but he'll get there soon.

In any case, I am proud to be the dad of two smart, cool, beautiful (they get this from April) boys. I am blessed!

UPDATE: The cute shirt that Luke is wearing in the picture of our December 14th blog...is no more *sniff* *sniff*. One day a few weeks ago, he dumped like a super-sized earth mover, and Luke had to be cut away from the wreckage. That makes three or four onesies gone the way of the shears. Keep poopin' boy!

Luke has such gorgeous eyes, definitely has April's eyes! As for wanting to nurse every 30 minutes, I know all about it! Caleb was terrible, wanting to nurse every 30 minutes day and night. The best moment of my life was weaning him to a bottle at a year! Take care you two and keep the posts coming!; January 18, 2008 at 4:22 PM

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
