His name is Joe...

Enzo is such a funny kid!  For the past couple of months, at least 2-3 times a day, he tells Ethan and I that his name is Joe.

I'm sure you are wondering who Joe is....Ha!  Took me forever to figure out who he was talking about because I am not a cool mom like that...

He insists that he is Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers.  So how does a 3 year old know who that is?  Not too sure, but I'm guessing his 9 year old Kuya (tagalog for big brother) has much to do with it.

So this morning after Enzo's bath, I was doing our usual dress up routine...lotion, Pull Up, shirt, pants, pick his hair (I have to use a pick because he has crazy curly hair), and I always put Biosilk in his hair (we call that hair lotion, it's the same stuff I put in my hair for my frizzies).

Well today, as I was putting hair lotion into his hair, he whispers to me and points to his sideburns and tells me to push it back (and he motions the way he wants it).  So being a good mom, I push his hair back.  Then he comes back to my face and whispers again.  This time he points to the front of his hair.  He whispers for me to push it down onto his face a little bit.  Not quite sure why he whispers all of this, because if you've ever met Enzo, his volume control is broken!

So I asked him if I did a good job fixing his hair the way he likes it.   He then touches the sides, pushes it back and then touches the front and pulls it down a bit.  Then he comes up to my face again and whispers, "I'm Joe, Joe Jonas..."

As he's walking away, I'm left wondering what just happened.  Then it hit me, he wanted me to fix his hair the same way Joe's hair is!  How funny is that!  Enzo cracks me up...

So tonight I remember all this, so I decide to look online for a picture of Joe Jonas.  So yeah I find Joe with the sideburns and hair falling down his face, minus the curly hair of course.



I wonder why he doesn't like one of the other brothers, because the other 2 have curly hair!

There's no place like home

It's nice to be home in your own bed, your own bathroom and your own mess....

Ever since we got home, Enzo keeps giving us hugs and kisses and saying "Thank you for taking me to mah home!" It's funny because he's been kissing stuff around the house, like his bed and his booster....

Crunch Time!

So we are leaving in a couple of hours for the airport and we're still packing.  Can't wait to just get on the plane and take a nap! Well hopefully Enzo will take a nap because he has been so upset with all the packing and excitement to ride the big plane.  He doesn't do too well with change and transition.  Last time he was this upset was when we went camping and he thought I packed his bag to go "back home".  I think he's still a little bit confused this time, because he keeps asking if I'm going to use the spongebob bag for his clothes (That's a whole other post!)

Talk to you guys later and pray for Enzo!!! (Well all of us really, but Enzo especially)

Use your eyes not your mouth!

My grandmother use to always say that to me when I as little, and I always say that to Ethan when he's in a hurry to find something that is already in front of him but can't seem to find...As we're getting ready to leave the house, I ask Ethan to put shoes on Enzo.  So Enzo is searching high and low for his shoes, while saying "Where's mah shoes?  where's mah shoes?"

Enzo's quest quickly turns to whining (I'm starting to learn to tune this out *yay for me*) because he can't find his shoes and I hear Ethan yell "Use your eyes not your mouth!" Then Enzo is walking around the house with his hand over his mouth and eyes wide open.  So I ask him what he's doing, then he says, "Kuya said use your eyes not your mouth. So I am!"

My boys are funny...

Poo water!

Enzo has got to be one of the funniest kids I've ever met!  (Ethan's the other funniest kid)  He ran out of the bathroom this evening after washing his hands, screaming  "Poo water! Poo water!"  I'm thinking what on earth is he talking about....so he's flailing his wet hands over his, what is now, wet face.  He pauses to say "Member the Bee moomie (aka movie), guy like that poo water! poo water!"  Then he continues his "poo water" dance...

Note to self:  Enzo is a sponge and will repeat anything he hears (and he remembers EVERYTHING!) 

My boys have the weirdest sense of humor.  But they are 'uber' funny! (I learned a new word from a movie we are watching as I type!)

Can it really be??

I think Enzo is potty trained!!! and we weren't even trying! well he probably should be since he's 3 now, but he refused to do it and i didn't want to fight him. I figured when he's ready then we won't have to fight about it.

Well on Monday morning when i went to his room, he said "mommy i need pee pee in the potty". I said "no you have a diaper on so we are not gonna play in the bathroom". But he kept insisting that he needed to go. So I finally gave in and took him. Low and behold....he pees in the potty!!! *yay* So we're doing the pee-pee in the potty dance...

Well he's been peeing in the potty since then. He's not completely potty trained for night time peeing, but that'll come (It's only been a week). oh yeah and he won't sit on the potty to poop but he'll tell me "poo poo hide mommy". So at least he knows and tells me that he has to go. haha I'll settle for what I can get since I didn't actually have to work at the peeing part.

Man I've forgotten how much work a potty trained child is. It's not like I can let him go by himself coz with Enzo, it's either he'll flush something or fall in. He LOVES to flush and will keep flushing until you pull him away from it. (Unlike his Kuya, who use to run from the bathroom whenever we flushed.)

So *yay* that is our excitement for the week! Yes I know we are a boring family...but hey, if I had more excitement I wouldn't have so much time to blog right? hehe ;)
