OK, I know.

It's been more than two months since I've written anything. That's not good, considering this is my baby book for all three kids, now.
Do you know how weird it sounds to say that I have three kids?


So, here's what's going on:


If you're not familiar with Frozen, I will be happy to have my children come to visit you at the rock under which you live, decked out in an Anna t-shirt because we can't find an Elsa one anywhere, singing "Let It Go," and arguing as to who gets to be Elsa and who gets to be Anna. Yes, even boys are into this princess movie, even those without big sisters, because Olaf and Kristoff are awesome, and they don't have to rescue any damsels in distress. All the women in this movie are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, thank you very much. I won't lie to you, I love it as much as they do. It's based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, and it's just a really good story.


As far as the Head trio is concerned, Sweet Pea and Little Buddy are best friends and practically inseparable. Buddy had to go to a birthday party sans his big sister (she was sick), and DWH texted me to say that Buddy was lost without her. He just didn't seem to be having a good time and kept asking for her. he also made it through a pb&j, cake with red icing, and his drink without making a mess, then stained his entire outfit with a couple of jellybeans. Such is life with Buddy.
They have both teamed up to give their baby brother the nickname, "GooGoo ShooShoo." We don't know why. Just go with it.


Sweet Pea is hilarious and very bright. I'm amazed at her vocabulary, because I know I didn't know half the words she uses, quite correctly, at age four. Here's my thing with her: Her teacher, Ms. Pam, oh how we looooove Ms. Pam, always sends notes home and tells me how well Sweet Pea does with her letters, letter sounds, and recognition. Then, Sweet Pea comes home and we ask her to identify letters. Her response? "I dunno." Really, kiddo? Because I've heard you tell your teacher and I've seen the work she sends home. Little stinker. She looks like such a big girl now, and I don't know if I like it.


Buddy has to do everything his sister does, except try new foods, so he is getting pretty handy with the letters and numbers, too. And, if I didn't know those words and phrases when I was four, I certainly didn't know them at two and a half!


GooGoo ShooShoo (Gooey for short) is healthy, happy, and thriving. He is three months old today, and has met all his milestones. He smiles and giggles most of the day, but when he's hungry, you know. So does everyone else in the neighborhood. Oh, and he has to eat every three hours, no exceptions. You can set your clock by that baby's stomach.


So, that's it for now. Tomorrow is Easter, and I'll try to remember to post some pictures.
Peace and Blessings.
