Missing in Action...

Okay, I know I have been slackin' but here's what's going on. I have been sick on and off since the last week of January and being a Mom is not necessarily condusive with sickness. Akins is not interested in being idle just because it is really what Mommy needs. Here are some funny points from the past couple of weeks and then I will have some more videos to share as well.

Akins always wants to go very fast in the car. Since I can flash foward in my head to 16 or 17 and driving I tell him "the Important Man" will give me a ticket if I go too fast. Then occasionally we will see someone pulled over and I say "see". So, last week as we got closer to our house Lorea was driving and he says "go fast" and so she did a little, not really speeding but punched it enough to satisfy his Evil Kinevil needs. He laughs thinks it's great. The next morning early like 6:30 am we are laying in bed and I can hear sirens off in the distance and he says "Mommy, the Important Man". I say "Yeah, I hear it too". He says "The Important Man coming to get Lorea". Okay, at first I don't get it and I say "No, why"? He says "Because she was going fast"....

Another funny thing he likes - I know when he is being naughty instinctively. Can't explain but you just do. So, I'll say "were you doing"????? whatever it is, he says "no - you see me do it". Obviously, he thinks that if he is not seen doing it then he has not really done it.

Lastly, we are making some VERY big progress on the bedtime issue. Of late we have gotten to reading a story, laying for a few minutes together "special time" tucking in and off I go. Tantrums are done (I think) and he is now sleeping mostly through the night. Providing he has Zachy the "small" dog. Now, I am not sure what will happen in the future as Zachy is 14 years old and showing some signs of his age now.

For those who check in daily - thank you so much and... sorry for the long lapse in posts. I have some videos to post when I am a little bit more up to it!
