Everland trip. "Korean Disneyland"

After much thought of our routine, boring life here in Korea. This guy and I realized that finally we are close to leave Korea. And yet we have not done much here with the exception of the time when our mamma came to visit. We just absolutely dislike driving/traveling here in Korea. Its such a hassel!! So we never forced ourself to get out and try to have some sort of fun.

Needless to say we finally broke down and decided to book a trip to Everland, which is almost like Disneyland, but not really!! We actually had a great time, we did not drive. We took a tour trip, a nice bus ride which both the kids enjoyed. The day was extremely warm and nice in a way. Kachow enjoyed the few riders he could go and Chubbs and I just simply hanged out since we both could not go on any rides.

I dont have much details that are interesting enough to write, but it was nice to finally open our minds and try to have some fun with the kids. Even after me being misearble with the heat we still had a blast. Makes us want to go to the "REAL" Disneyland. Cant wait till this day!

Our ride to Everland. We are all suprisenly excited. But Chubbs didnt want to take a picture =/

Lunch time!

Splash time. It was so hot that we all enjoyed this area.

Bird feeding area. This was so neat!

Daddy Letter--Week 23-24

Dear Daddy,

An important milestone happens this week: I am now viable. In other words, I have a very good chance of survival, with medical help, if I was born right now. Nevertheless, with every day that passes, my lungs mature a little more and my chances of survival get better.

Daddy, turn on the radio and sway to the music. With my sense of movement well developed now, I can feel you and mommy dance. And now that I am more than 12 inches long (about a foot long) and weighs over a pound (the size of an ear of corn) you may be able to see me squirm underneath mommy’s clothes. I gained nearly ¼ pound since last week. Blood vessels in my lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that my increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing me for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as Abby’s voice probably won't faze me when I hear it outside the womb.

Go shopping! Now that I have a good chance of surviving in the big wide world, it's time to put your superstitions aside and prepare for her arrival. By late pregnancy, mommy will feel too huge for hardcore shopping, so get started now.

Wow Daddy, did you know that my eyelids will open properly around now, and I'll begin to experience rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the state associated with dreaming. I can dream!

Love ya,
Three

23 weeks

Time had gone by so quickly. I still can not believe I am on my 23rd week. Luckily this time around this pregnancy has been relative easy compared to Kachow and Chubs. Just recently I started some mild contractions. Irregular so I am not concerned yet. I have also tested negative for Gestational Diabetes, in which I had with both of the kiddos. WOOHOO!!

Maybe this one will make it to his due date!

Three is extremely different from his brother and his sister. He is very mellow and his kicks are hardly kicks. He is still an active baby just like his simblings, but he is gentle and nice to mommy so far. I remember like if it was yesterday feeling so much pain on my right rib thinking Kachow broke one. I had a nice bruise too on that side from his kicks. Thank you Three, for being so kind to mommy!

Cant wait to meet my little guy!

Going home =(

Sadly, Brasil is out. We are going home empty handed. This breaks my heart. I have never seen Brasil play the way they were playing. Dunga screw them up badly. Luckly, in 2014 Dunga will not be our coach.

Starting some plans and money saving for 2014. We must head home for that one!! Rio here we come! See you in 2014!!

Daddy letter-- Week 21-22

Dear Daddy
I have grown quiet a bit since we talked. It has been only two weeks but I am already around 11 inches long. Nearly a pound in weight (if not more already). I finally look like a miniature newborn! My lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. My eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. I know mommy is dying to find out if I will have her eyes color or yours. Just a few more months before you both find out!
Daddy, If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers my body and the deep wrinkles on my skin, which I'll sport until I add a padding of fat to fill them in. My brain is developing fast, and my brainwave patterns are now similar to a newborns. I’m developing the very beginnings of conscious thought. Scientists believe that at this stage, unborn babies already have a primitive memory, and some even think that they can dream. Certainly, I can already distinguish between your voice and mommy‘s.
The second trimester is often described as the honeymoon period, because mommy should be feeling fit and well. In fact, some women feel so good that their sex drive goes through the roof. Other women, however, don't want any hanky panky at all. Both are completely normal! Not too much longer till her hormones are back to normal. Hopefully!

Well daddy, this is it for this week.
Love you

Brasil 2x1 North Korea

Needless to say, I am extremely happy Brasil beat North Korea. At the same time disappointed by how they did. I guess we all underestimated North Korea. They had a very strong defense, that's for sure!

We are still #1!!!! Looking forward for another victory.

Daddy Letter--Week 19-20

Howdy Dad;
I have a few exciting things to share, the coolest one is that I can hear you daddy! Studies has shown that I will learn to distinguish familiar voices from other people’s long before I am born, so talk away daddy but make sure to watch your language. Great news is that I am complete now; my main job from now on is to pile up the pounds. Believe it or not I am already half way the length I will be at birth. The next eight weeks daddy will be my most active time. This is because I will still have room to move freely. My sensory is at its peak. I am mastering complicated movements, turning, and twisting, stretching, grasping and even somersaults. If you press firmly on mommy’s tummy I will not only sense it but I will move away too. Specially now, I have enough room to explore and move away. I have tiny buds now and did you know that some babies are even born with teeth? Wonder if I will be one of them?
Well daddy, I love you very much already and I can’t wait to see you in a few months.
Love

Pneumonia week

Some of you may be wondering if I had another episode where I disappear and don't update the blog for a while. If this is your case, I have good news. No! I have not had one of those episodes, YET. The past two weeks I have been very sick, probably the most sick I have ever been. I was diagnosed with pneumonia after a week of being sick with no improvements. Luckily, the Dr gave me some good med and soon after my antibiotic doses were done I felt so much better. Don't worry, I am alright now and Three has had no effect from it.

We had an ultrasound this passed Friday and he looked great and healthy. He is already 11 ounces, this gave This Guy and I a feeling Three will be a chubby baby like Chubs. Lets just hope I wont have to push a 10lb baby.

Here are the two best ultrasound picture we got this passed Friday. Three is quiet of a show off, he was stretching and doing poses. Being silly, which already shows a little of This Guy's personally on him. The first photo he got his hand under his chin and his feet is resting against the placenta. I say he was posing here. The second photo he is stretching.

Daddy letter week 17 & 18

The past two weeks I have done a lot of growing in length and earning some fat. My skeleton is no longer cartilage, I now have bones daddy. This week I weight about 5 ounces about as much as a turnip and about 5-6 inches from head to toe about the size of a bell pepper. My sweat glands are developing this week. Will I sweat in the womb? Interesting, huh!
Wow, did you know that this week I will master the art of sticking my tongue out. You might catch me in action during an ultrasound. These past two weeks not much has changed with me, since I am pretty much all developed, I just need to grow and mature my organs. But daddy, mommy sure has changed this past week. Did you notice her more hungry? An increase in appetite is pretty common about now. Make it count by choosing meals and snacks that are rich in nutrients instead of empty calories (chips, French fries, candy, and other sweets).
Bigger, more comfortable clothes are a must now as her appetite and waistline grow. Also be ready to catch mommy at all times, her cardiovascular system is undergoing dramatic changes, and during this trimester her blood pressure will probably be lower than usual. Don't let her spring up too fast from a lying or sitting position or she might feel a little dizzy sometimes may even fall.
See you next week
Love

This one is for Grampa Larry

This past friday we went off base to a little stinky town right outside the gate called, songtan. There isnt much to do around here without driving a while and even then most of the time we ended up getting frustrated than having some fun. Long story short...To get off and on base (walking) you must pass through this gate where you show your ID and they scan it. This is also the building you have to go to when getting a visitor pass. On the counter they have two small flags as decoration. American flag and Korean flag.

On the way back home Kat-chow noticed the flags and yelled: " Daddy look, Pepsi Flag." We were all laughing so hard we could not even correct him right away. Even the gate guards were laughing, the only person who didnt ofcourse was this Korean lady who were at the counter. In fact she sounded angry and shouted back at kat-chow: " its not a pepsi flag". It did not matter, we were all laughing in the room. I think her statement only made us laugh even harder.



What an observation, we never noticed before how close the Korean flag and pepsi symble were. I thought Grampa Larry would have a kick out of this one. Your little grandchild loves Pepsi!

Another adventure

Last week we had to go to Seoul for my Drs Appointment. All started out great, both kids woke up in a good mood. We got ready, had breakfast and off to Seoul we go. For those who don’t know, Seoul is really not that far away when looking at miles. But because of traffic, it can take someone 40mins or 2 hours to arrive. This guy absolutely hates driving to Seoul and usually ends up in a bad mood because of “smart Koreans”. By the way we love them!

Anyway, not even 20 minutes into our drive there Kat- chow shouted, MOM! I turned around only to find him covered in vomit, with the saddest face I have even seen. This guy pulls over, or tried to find a spot to pull over where I wouldn’t be hit by one of the "great" drivers you will find in Korea. The entire time this guy kept yelling at the koreans driving by, freaking idiots, gah you dumb A**, it sure was fun. After much trouble trying to clean Kat-chow and avoiding being ran over, I finally cleaned as much as I could and we got back on the road. I cannot explain how strong the smell was. Even with the windows open, the heat was not helping at all. Five minutes after we were heading back toward our destination, Chubb starts to gag. And once again Kat-chow vomits and this time I had nothing to clean but a few wipes left and a blanket. We ended up having to take all his clothes off and use another blanket to cover him up. Once again we take off and hope to make it to our destination before another episode happens. Two minutes later its Chubb’s turn, I could do nothing but laugh. Luckily we were not very far from our destination, Chubb had to sit there and wait till we get to a store, where we could get some cleaning supplies and new clothing for both.

I wish all of this would have happened on the way home, mainly because we had 1 hr till my appointment and we still had to drive back home. The heat made the car have the most amazing smell, thank goodness for febreeze. By the end of the day I learned a valuable lesson. Always have extra pair of clothing for each of the kids and make sure I have plenty of wipes and napkins in the car.

What an adventure we had. Life never gets boring when you are a parent!

Daddy letter week 15-16

Hi daddy
I have very exciting news for you today, but you will have to wait till the end of the letter to find out. The bones in my ear that are responsible for hearing are developing, and my taste buds are sprouting, too. From now on, I get a flavor of whatever mommy eat via the amniotic fluid. One study shows that unborn babies swallow more amniotic fluid if it tastes sweet, and less if it's bitter. Pass the cookies! Scans at this stage have shown babies playing with the umbilical cord, snuggling up to the wall of the uterus, apparently for comfort. I have been getting regular bouts of hiccups too, which help my lungs prepare for breathing but it gets annoying after a while. Now the big news daddy, my sex organs are maturing but with a high tech ultrasound machine you can already find out if I am a boy or a girl. Mommy wanted to surprise you, so starting today you better start thinking about boy names, and its better be a good one too. Can’t wait to meet you daddy, play cars and watch football with you.
Love you more than you can imagine already. See you next week!

Daddy Letter Week 13 & 14

I have some exciting news, I went through some big changes during week 13 & 14. These past two weeks I started to get ready for life in the big wide world, practicing swallowing and sucking, the skills I will need to eat. My vocal cords are developing and she's busy gaining weight. She's now five times heavier than I was at 10 weeks. And although you won't feel my movements for a few more weeks, I can feel you and mommy daddy. If you rub your bump I can sense and respond to your touch with a jerky, reflexive movement. My eyes are now in their proper position at the front of my face. My eyelids are still tightly fused, but I am already sensitive to light. For the first time my body is finally growing faster than my head, so I’m beginning to look more in proportion. You know what else is really cool daddy? I now have fingernails, toenails and hair (yes, even eyebrows). Isn’t that cool! My movements are becoming ever more sophisticated. I am practicing breathing, inhaling the amniotic fluid. I can also frown, squint and grimace, twist and turn my joints and I am even able to suck my thumb, feet and, bizarrely, knees!
Have mom started to glow yet? The second trimester is when many women start that famous pregnant glow. Also mommy’s uterus has popped out above your pelvis, so from now on your doctor will check your baby's growth by feeling your bump and measuring the distance from the top of your uterus to the top of your pubic bone. Which means people may be questioning if mommy is pregnant or not. Now that her bump is beginning to sprout, it's time for a shopping spree.
This is it for this week daddy. See you soon.
Love you

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

First I would love to wish all mothers and Happy Mother's day. I hope you all got spoiled and enjoyed your special day.

As for me, I had a magical day. My wonderful husband let me sleep in till almost 9am, then woke me up with a wonderful breakfast in bed with my two loving children. They all three just sat in bed next to me while i enjoyed my breakfast. The entire time Kachow kept singing "happy mothers day to you". I felt totally loved and appreciated. I also received some beautiful flowers, hand picked by my son. And best of all, This guy got me the most amazing gift and totally unexpected. A matching Coach purse and wallet. I KNOW!!! He is awesome!

I wish it was mother's day everyday!

Military Spouse Appreciation Day

I can say I had a good day. I woke up feeling miserable from my cold. Luckily, "This guy" came home early and made me feel very special. He treated me to my favorite soup, Baked potato soup. Yummy!!

Today is military spouse appreciation day on base. They did not do anything big nor fancy. But I have to say that just the thought and the effort to make something and give us appreciation for our sacrifices meant a lot of me. I received a beautiful yellow rose and a Korean mini vase. Two little things to just say; "thank you". Meant more than they imagine.

They also shared my favorite poem.

The Silent Ranks

I wear no uniforms, no blues or greens.

But, I am in the military, in the ranks rarely seen.

I have no rank upon my shoulders. Salutes I do not give.

But in the military world is where I live and am rarely seen.

I am not in the chain of command, orders I do not give or get.

But my husband is the one who does, this I can not forget.

I am not the one who fires a weapon, Who puts his life on the line.

But my job is just as tough, I'm the one who is always left behind.

My husband is a patriot, a brave and pride filled man.

And the call to serve his country not all can understand.

Behind the lines, I see things needed to keep this country free.

My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do my kids and me.

I love the man I married. The military is his life.

So I pledge to support my hero and stand among the silent ranks

known as

THE MILITARY WIFE.

Daddy Letter- Week 12

Dear Daddy
I am sorry I missed week 11 daddy, it’s been a busy week. There is some exciting news for this week. The most dramatic development this week is my reflexes. My fingers will soon begin to open and close, my toes will curl, my eye muscles will clench, and my mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod mom’s abdomen, I will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel me yet. Daddy, I am just over 2 inches long from head to toe. Close to the size of a lime. I weight just barely an ounce. I am essentially fully formed now. Everything has appeared, right down to the tiny vocal cords! All that remains to be done now is to grow and develop. How fun!

Mommy’s morning sickness or should we say: All day sickness?!! Should be getting better. I am getting so big and it makes it easier on mommy’s body to keep up with me. Mommy’s uterus is no longer being able to hide behind the pelvic cavity. You should be able to feel it and remember I will be feeling your touch. I think this is it, see you soon.

Love you dearly;
Three

Delayed

So much has happened the past few days I lost track exactly what I should be doing. Most of you probably dont know this but I have been taking Online Courses, hoping to get one step closer to my BA in Child & Family Development. It has been a true challenge, managing time to do my course and understand itself has been harder than I imagine. I have to say, I am proud of myself. Been doing really well so far.

Kiddos are doing great for those who have been asking. The only issue is Kachow going through horrifing 3's. We never really had the so called "terrible Two's" with him. I guess the 3's is the new 2's at least in our home.

Chubbs is suprising This guy and I each day with her speech. She is talking away like no other. Her new favorite sentence is " Oh, Snap!" It cracks us up every single time she says it. (Yes, Daddy has to take credit for this one)

Pregnancy is going well as far as baby health. Myself on the other hand, sick , sick , sick!! Although, the past 2 days I have not been as misearble with the morning sickness. Praying that is a good sign and this whole sickness deal is going away. I got this to share with you all...the most sweet sound ever! Three's heart beat through a home doppler.

Daddy Letter- Week 10

Dear Daddy

Did you miss me? I sure missed writing you letters. It’s been a long week! Daddy I am now the size of a kumquat. Just a little over an inch long from head to toe. And what is crazy about that is, by next week I will have more than doubled my size. I should be nearly 3 inches long in just a week. Wow, isn’t that crazy. Looks like I have a busy week ahead of me. I have also completed the most critical portion of my development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in my body rapidly grow and mature.

I am now swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm, soon mommy should be able to feel me. My Vital organs including my kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells ) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout the next few months till it’s time for me to finally see you.
Daddy, you know what is really cool? If you could take a peek on mommy’s womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing yay) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin. It’s so exciting to finally look human. Not only look like one but be able to move like one too. I can now flex my hands, bends my knees, all the fun stuff. My genitals will be complete by the end of this week, although at this stage they're so tiny they won't be picked up on an ultrasound. Give a few more weeks.

I am not the only one going through quick changes, mommy is too. Before mommy got pregnant, her uterus was the size of a small pear. By this week, it's as big as a grapefruit. She may or may not be ready for maternity wear now. Even if she’s not there yet, her regular clothes are probably feeling uncomfortably tight. Get ready to spend some money daddy.

I think this is all the big news for this week daddy. See you next week with a lot of cool stuff to share.

Love you dearly;
Three

Just precious

Now this is a funny video to watch. Me a proud mommy was trying to make a video of my 17 month old girl to show her off. Chubbs is something else. She is very careful with all that she does, eats well on her own, drink from a cup or water bottle without messes. Super polite, covers her mouth when coughs, says sorry, please, thank you and so forth. But then her funny daddy had to add his own little thing on the video.

I have to admit, even though was not what I was going for. Sure made the video one of those to cherish forever.

Enjoy

New Facial

"Chubbs" our totally girly girl daughter, decided to come up with a new facial. Lime popsicle facial. Apperently is really good.

Latest

What is new with us?
"This guy" has been working more than usual, making it that much harder to be here in Korea. For those who haven't heard yet, we have been trying really hard to enjoy our stay here. Its been over a year and we are still working on it.

I really believe if Koreans took care of their country, were less nosy, less inconsiderate, made their cities/country more kid friendly and didn't eat kimchi it probably wouldn't be so bad. I can honestly say the hardest part for me, is how difficult it is to just go out and do something with the kids. The base is totally not family ready. Have very little we can do with little ones. They used to have a playgroup was only running for a short period of time. It is depressing and boring. Specially since I used to be the "on the go" mom. Always somewhere doing something and only home for nap times and to do some house chores.

Now being pregnant, with two toddlers and in this "wonderful" place. Has made me so much stronger in some areas of my life and personality and for sure has made me weak in a few areas. I cant recall one time that I have been so negative and depressed about the place I'm currently at. I hate to admit but i absolutely hate Korea and I will not miss one single thing about this place.

Being here has made me love and miss things that I never thought I would. Like Walmart!! Man I cant wait to go to walmart! Hahah

On a happy note, yesterday I went to a Korean Dr to check the baby progress since the base wont see me till 18 weeks. Stupid, but my experience with that Korean Dr was better than I thought it would be. Maybe because I went in thinking it would be the worse experience ever. To my surprise the Dr actually spoke English and was extremely cheap. Baby is doing great, measuring on target with Due date Oct 29, 2010. Baby's heart rate was 165BPM. "Three" Looked great!

I'm praying so hard this morning sickness eases up soon. Spring is here and is finally starting to warm up a bit. We will soon be able to do a few extra things that we cant now. "Kachow" is really looking forward for some pool time.

With this pregnancy I decided to try something new to help "This Guy" bond a little more with "Three". A friend of mine tried something similar, I thought it was a neat idea. I have been weekly writing "Daddy Letters" for "This Guy". I think he has been enjoying them. This week was the coolest so far. Our baby has fingerprints =)

Kiddos are getting in trouble. Better run!

Back ( I think)

Here it goes. Another attempt to blog. I honestly don't know how people can keep up with blogs when there are so much stuff to keep up with.

I have several friends who update their blogs every day, some even multiple times a day. I can say sometimes I wish I could do that.

There are too many funny things that happens daily with our kids and here in Korea that I wish I could blog it all. That been said, I will once again try to keep this up to date.

Bath Bombs/Fizzies

One of the things I have always enjoyed is bath time. After a long day, there is nothing more relaxing than filling up the tub with nice warm water. Light up a few candles and throw one or two bath bombs (also known as bath fizzies) and just relax.

I have always done that, it is my 20 minutes of peace and total relaxation. Afraid I wouldn’t be able to find any here in Korea, I brought a few with me. But it was only enough for a few days. After a few weeks of having bath time with no bath bombs, I realized how much they really help you relax. The oil and the fragrance are very soothing. It is also a great feeling afterwards. Your skin is soft and smells great for hours.

After realizing this, I immediately started searching for some. Online they are just too expensive to get them shipped here. I looked at the BX they had 3 and they were only 99c too. I was ecstatic. As soon as the kids were asleep guess what I did??

I was so disappointed. They had little fragrance and they were oil free. I guess you get what you paid for, right? With huge disappointment, I commented to This Guy that I will have to look for them off base and only hope Koreans use them too. (Very unlikely)

Smart as he is, he replied, “why don’t you learn how to make them?”
I had not thought about it but this was a great idea. I started googling, trying to find what I needed to make them and how. I found a few sites and even video showing how to make them. I also learned that the better resources you buy the better they will be. Well I ended up spending more money than I was expecting to. But I ordered a Bath Bomb Starter Kit that supposedly comes with everything you need to make them.

I did it!! They are amazing!!(They might not look the best, but for first try I think I did a pretty good job). This guy tried it and I think for the past week he has been using them almost every night too. I made lavender fragrance (my favorite) and vitamin E. All I have to say is. IM NEVER BUYING BATH BOMBS AGAIN!!

Making them was a blast and using them was even better! Let me know if any of you would like to try one. I will proudly send you a couple! Now I can slowly buy different fragrances and make them in different colors too. WOOHOO!!!

Fine Wine & Bread

Ha-ha, that’s not exactly everything I said. He left out the part he probably didn’t like. Where I compared him to the best home made bread.

The first few days it surprises you just how delicious it taste, how you can’t get enough of it. Even after a few weeks being old, you still want to eat it. But as it gets older it starts to build up some molds on it.

Then I said “Don’t get me wrong it still taste good, at least the parts that don’t have mold.” No one is perfect, there is no such a thing as a perfect relationship or person. But ours is pretty darn close!! I still can’t believe we have been together for 6 years. Feels like yesterday!

Fine Wine vs. Spam

Discussions about relationships have always been a bane to me. I avoid them like I avoid midgets. Yes, I can tolerate them, but I feel really uncomfortable around them. So, Boa starts talking about our relationship, so all of my defenses come on and I’m ready to start shooting down anything that enters my proverbial airspace. But she’s complimenting me. So my defenses remain ready, but I’m starting to question her intent and wonder if she’s working me for a something expensive.

Turns out, she was just making a comment on how we have been able to keep our relationship thriving even after six years of marriage. Then she made a comment that she thought that I may even be sweeter now than I was 6 years (and 20 lbs) ago. So I made the comment that I am like fine wine, I get better with age.

Confused, she inquired, “If you are fine wine, what does that make me?”

My instant response: “Spam.”

“WHAT!?” was the expected reply.

In a literal knee jerk reaction, I bladed my body, bringing my left leg up to block any shot to the groin while I raised my left arm to intercept any strikes to the face. (Good thing I kept my defenses on!) But the attack never came, only a look of disbelief.

Never changing my defensive posture I started to explain: “Sweetie, it’s because you are just as delicious and tasty the day you were canned as you will be in 50 years!” I think that saved me, but I’m still in my defensive stance… just in case.

Big Cool

About a month ago, Kachow saw a pediatric therapist for an assessment on his development. During this assessment the therapist determined Kachow was behind on his fine motor skillz and slightly on his communication. The kid can jump off a countertop unassisted and land on his feet, but the therapist thought he was behind. (I think he was just not interested in what the therapist was trying to get him to do) So, we have been working with him constantly helping him improve his communication and fine motor skillz. So, after his last check-up, the therapist mentioned how amazed she was with his improvement in communication (still working on the motor skillz). Kachow has been increasing his vocabulary and learning sign language, and has impressed Boa and I very much with his improvement. Before he would whine and point when he wanted something, now, three weeks later he will say something while he signs it such as “more juice please.” But the coolest thing he has started doing, besides fist bumps, is how he talks about himself. For instance, he will jump off the couch, over the chair Chubs is sitting in, land on his feet, turn around and say “Did you see that? I’m big cool!” After catching our breath, we reply “Yeah, you ARE big cool!”

Comments

Just wanted to thank everyone that leaves me comments! Its nice to read them =)
