I said that it would never happen.
Three children under one roof was ENOUGH for this mom.
How can I deny it any longer?
I can not!
It has happened...
And I am,
Slowly,
Gradually,
Coming to terms with the fact...
There WILL forever be ANOTHER CHILD in this family of ours!
Surprise, surprise
another BOY!!!
Only this time I don't have to give birth.(Wheew!)
He is already here...
My very own
Ryan Nils Rosenlof
Now don't get me wrong, I knew that this guy was just a big kid a heart when I married him but I swear that there is something about having children that causes grown men to regress.
Now don't get me wrong, I knew that this guy was just a big kid a heart when I married him but I swear that there is something about having children that causes grown men to regress. Just a couple of "for instances..."
For instance #1. We are having dinner with my in laws, a pleasant evening. Everyone sitting around the dinner table, Porter and Ryan sitting across from each other. The conversation is interrupted as I hear Ryan laughing, Porter pulling a weird face. I look over at my HUSBAND laughing, with his mouth wide open, full of chewed up food, on his protruding tongue at Porter, only to witness the food fall from his mouth onto his plate. Seriously?? Porter laughs, Ryan laughs and then scoops the food right back up from his plate and continue to eat it all over!
For instance #2. Porter comes running in the house the other day just as excited as can be. "Mom, mom!" he says "Dad put a firecracker in my hand and then put fire on it and let me throw it!" Seriously??
For instance #3. We are getting the kids into the car after a fun family outing to Target. Porter and Phearson have their ICEE'S in hand as they climb up into the car. Ryan tells Phearson to let him hold his ICEE while he climbs up into his car seat and then he will give it back. Phearson agrees. Ryan closes the car door, walks around the car to Phearsons window and intentionally stands outside the car drinking the ICEE and waving it in his face as Phearson yells and screams for him to give it back from inside. Seriously??
For instance #4. The boys and I are sitting at the dinner table the other night when Porter asks if he can have a candy. I reply "No. You boys eat way too much candy." And Porter matter of factly replies, "Well Daddy always gives it to us." Seriously??
I could go on and on but I think you get the picture.
On the bright side... at least I won't have to potty train this one!

Too funny. yes, men do regress a bit after having kids but I guess it's hard because us as the mommy has to then be the rational one and we don't get to have quite the fun of childhood again. Gotta love it! I am loving the age the boys are at(cody and porter)right now seeing them want to do everything their daddy's do. (except the firecracker and food falling out of mouth thing.) I loved watching them the other day at the skate park. When Porter and Cody would fall I would want to go help him but Porter would jump right back up and be off again!
Oh, I am laughing so hard I'm crying! I guess I have something to look forward to as the kids get bigger!
Funny post! I thought you were having a real new baby for a second there!
I think number 3 is my favorite! That is too funny!
Makes a mom so proud!!!Gee where did he get that?? At least we know they'll always know how to have fun!!
So I have exciting news Brandon has kind of agreed to trying to have a baby after were married. The count down begins. It's been a long road for me to get to this finally married and maybe some kids. I just love reading bout your boys and all the fun you have with them. I hope I'll be as lucky and blessed as you.

You had me going for a little bit! Ryan is such a big kid. Can't wait to see you guys next month!
I completely get your pain! In my house it's whenever I say no, Todd says yes! Fun times.
