"I thought you'd always be mine"
-"Baby" by Justin Bieber
Oh, the teeny bopper phase is upon us. Leah came home from school and asked if we could watch Justin Bieber on the computer. This is the first time she's ever asked this kind of thing!
Apparently this is what happened at school: *imagine Leah saying this very fast and teeny-bopperish* "Heaven brought a picture of Justin Bieber and Jaylin saw it and fainted. And anytime Heaven would show Jaylin she'd faint. She kept fainting over and over, it was so funny."
We watched a few of his videos on youtube and I kept talking about our strict no dating until you're 16 rule. LOL This video is our favorite:
I think he's adorable :) And over the weekend I tried to get Davis to roll his sleeves for some pictures and he CRIED saying it was babyish. When I saw this today I was like, "see Justin Bieber rolls up his sleeves" haha. Of course my kids have been singing the chorus and doing the "arm thing" (that he does around the 2 minute mark) all day.
Did you notice at forty seconds in he reaches for the girl and pulls on her jacket? Well, I told Leah that if a boy does that to tell him "hands to yourself!" and if he calls you Baby (like Justin does in the chorus 100 times!) you tell him "my name is Leah". Man eating training starts now ;)

My mom brought it to my attention that I haven't been blogging much. Her mother's actual words were, "Did you just give up on blogging and Facebook?" but I got the point. There are quite a few factors but the biggest one is computer time. We only have one computer now and the kids are obsessed with computer games and I have so many other projects going on that I let them play them too much and Jeff doesn't have any internet access at work so he wants/needs to be on the computer a lot more once he gets home and when I am on I'm paying bills or checking other people's blogs or checking my e-mail and is this the longest run-on sentence ever yet?
I also noticed I haven't been taking very many pictures either which IS an absolute travesty! What kind of mother am I!? I think it's because my house is in chaos. There are so many decorating projects that I need to do but it seems other things keep getting in the way of the finances. Like me going to the dentist and needing TWO root canals!! My whole bill was in the thousands!! I was pretty bummed. But that is just life. I WILL get around to blogging about Davis' birthday and Easter it'll just be awhile. And if anyone feels the need to ask about my non-blogging just be kind. Encourage, don't judge. End of sermon.

I know a girl...
Her name is Lindsey Leavitt.
She isn't directly related to "my" Leavitt clan but grew up on two houses down
from my hubby and is super nice.
Okay, I've met her once, maybe twice but she was nice.

My 5 fondest memories of Davis, my 5 year-old:
5. Baby Davis was such a momma's boy! He would fuss the whole time Jeff would hold him until he was about 6 months. When he was about 10 months my mom bought him a shirt that said "I heart mommy". He wore it A LOT :)
4. He's always been super obedient for his teachers: nursery, pre-school, primary, gymnastics. Whenever there have been disciplinary issues with a class the teacher would always pull me aside and tell me it didn't really apply to Davis because he always listens!
3. When he's in a good mood he'll just come up, give you a big hug and say "I love you". I can always tell when he's grumpy or feeling neglected because he won't do it as often.
2. He was the first one to get Whitney to really laugh. It's surprising to me because he thinks playing with her means making baby noises really loud right in her face while jerking her arms up and down. So many times I think he's going to make her cry and instead she smiles and laughs. They must be kindred.
1. Davis has always liked to eat. When he started talking he'd call from his crib and when I'd go to get him (at 5:30AM every morning!) he'd say, "I want 'nana". Anytime anyone watched him for me they'd always comment on his amazing appetite :)
