Regrets

Oh how I wish I had so many more hours every day and were more organized and diligent. Noah has been spending the last hour reading some of the things I wrote in a journal for him when he was a toddler. He is laughing and LOVING it and there are so many things I never wrote down, but even worse is all the things I have not written down for every kids that has followed him. It's so sad. All these precious moments completely forgotten. I want to do better so they can all have these awesome stories and memories. I mean seriously, poor Micah, and everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious and he is full of notable mischief, and he may grow up with us all forgetting how much trouble he caused. Sheesh.

On that note, Micah came down yesterday morning telling my that Kaden fell out the window. I didn't really even pay attention to him to be honest. I was kind of busy, but in the back of my mind, I thought that might at least be worth checking on. So an hour or so later, Kaden is down here with me and suddenly says, "Mom, can I tell you a secret?" and I said "of course, and you should"....Kaden: "I opened my window this morning and jumped out because we were locked in the bedroom, and I jumped into the bushes, but don't worry, it didn't hurt my feet--and I told Micah to stay away from the window".....uuuuuuh. Our second story is HIGH, and those bushes are not soft and fluffy bushes. AND besides the fact he never should have done that, and I was just a holler away (I guess Micah is the one who locked them in, too)...he did it right in front of MICAH--NOT GOOD! So I didn't want to come down really hard on him since he did tell me right away and I am so glad he felt he could, but I did explain that he should never do that and the problem especially that by doing that he showed Micah something that would be very dangerous for him.

Fast forward to yesterday afternoon....Noah came downstairs saying Micah had opened the window and pushed the screen out and almost fell out head first. AAAAH! We have lived here for over 2 1/2 years and never had to worry yet about windows. Then Kaden and I had another talk and he DID feel really bad. He just doesn't think sometimes. Sigh.
