My Jesster

Paige is pretty mad at Jess and me right now. I was having coffee a while ago and she begged for some. I poured about 3 drops in a cup with lots of cream and let her have "coffee" with me. She asked for more and we told her that was enough. She threw a mini-tantrum for it, and when we didn't give in she said "FINE!" and faced away from us with her chin in her hands. And yes, Jess and I tried not to laugh and I took her picture.
She must have hoped we'd give in, because when it was quiet she said "FINE MAMA! You don't want to make me good." I'm not sure what that means, but I would guess it's similar to when she tells me I don't love her, or don't want to make her happy. She's been saying that lately when she doesn't get her way. Crazy child.

She was happy almost all day though, until the coffee incident. She's been hilarious.
When we got home tonight Cason had fallen asleep on the drive. So Paige and I carried stuff inside and Jess sat in the car, letting him nap a few more minutes. When Paige and I walked through the door I yelled to Jess "You'll bring Cason in with you, right?" After a while, Paige ran to the front door and yelled "Jess?!(Yes, Jess, not daddy this time, for some reason) You bring Cason RIGHT?!" She makes me laugh. And look at her in her little blue yoga pants.
Cason had a sleep eating episode last night, like Paige used to do. He fell asleep for a nap WAY too late in the evening, so we were trying to tempt him awake with some cake my Grama brought over. He loved it, but he was SOOOO tired. He wouldn't open his eyes, but he kept searching for the spoon with his mouth open. It was so cute. Look at the cake smeared around his mouth from his blind attempts at getting the spoon in his mouth.
Poor little fella has a big, red, rough patch of skin under his bottom lip. It looks like he might be allergic to something. Our babies and their allergies and sensitive skin. I'm nervous because I'd been making pumpkin muffins a lot lately, and his cousin Faith is allergic to pumpkin. It's the only new thing he's eaten and I REALLY don't want him to be allergic to it. Paige is already allergic to one of the most delicious substances on earth, and now pumpkin? I hope not. Our next kid will be allergic to chocolate. Or water. Equally important.He also tried to juggle...
...after watching his daddy do it. Yes, I made him do it in front of the crazy clown painting.
