this one for John happy birthday to you don't P anything out happy birthday to you I already told you I don't like those books this one's the USA Today and it's the multiple puzzles you're the most ungrateful piece of whatever I've ever seen where that is where she gets it from thanks no you can't copy off Elena cuz she's giving me a hug I'll give it teach me how to be a human being I'll do it with emotions and feelings John likes puzzles for brain brain games for every day these are from the newspaper mommy you it's got crosswords it's got all kinds of different bra what is that I don't know code words can you teach you don't want to I'll do it you can help me with this I thought you'd like the newspaper one mom I likeed I told you I like it I like the actual newspaper because you can't just go to the next puzzle and you can't get the answers until the next day Mom Mommy see guys I like doing puzzles I like cross puzzles our our newspaper here has a thing called crypto quote I like doing that it's really fun and it helps my mind helps me do things with my brain so that I'm I'm working it out but what did you just ripped out all the thanks now you can't check the answers until I say so thanks bab and I won't check the answers until you finished one but I like doing the cross wordss and the cryp quotes and the word jumbles and I feel like since I've stopped doing those my my mind it's harder for me to like think of words and like I just get confused not confused but I just like okay what is the word I'm trying to say it's an easy word I just can't think of it since I haven't been doing those regularly I've been getting the old man's syndrome so I want to start working my mind out giv them to her because doing video work it's challenging but it's not really mental challenging so anyways thanks Dan this is great can this thanks I guess so our friends uh Sean and Candace are coming over and they're bringing their daughter Aubrey with them to play with the girls so this is the first time we're hanging out with I know Sean I used to play in a with him and met Candace through him so we're going to we're hanging out huh yeah used to play look it up wait what band bson look it up bson look it up bellson John's Band he was a Rock Star Diva man kidding he was a rock star that's real if I don't talk about my past with you bab why you don't know much about me just with his uh to hit me with his uh straightened hair and skinny jeans I'll still wear I will wear them bu I bought some the other day we are at nap time but it doesn't look like nap time cuz two kids are up but they are not always napping Tyler is a little bit tired today she probably needs a nap but I'm not going to fight her on it because I don't have that iny I don't have the energy to like battle her over this it's not worth it it's not worth it for either of us I think have you ever felt that way like sometimes me wanting that break or wanting to make her nap and it's just like sets her up for failure because she just gets in trouble over and over and over again me okay stay right there and I don't think that's really fair um not that she shouldn't have to listen um I just need to like hello everyone take that time and be intentional with her I think versus trying to get like a little break um you know that she's going to go to preschool soon and so I will have that break very regularly every 4 days a week from her so I just want to try to take the time be intentional have fun instead of just fighting and spending the entire two hours that the other kids are napping trying to get her to go back to her room over and over and so here we are I'm just going to color with her for a little bit and then she's going to go have quiet time right after we color for a little you go lay down for a little right we go lay down hi look at this princess back up Tyler a big sister little sister take a picture anyway so here we are Tyler is really testing my nerves today guys I'm going to be honest like it's not was easy to be patient and it seems like she's being sweet but do you know if you have kids that are her age then you know like there's this level of sweetness where how do I explain it like they she knows what she's doing she'll push push but very sweetly and so it's kind of deceitful I love her dearly I stinker but she challenges me in ways like I've never been challenged before you stinker that's very you a stinker exting so try to be intentional try to be patient this is character building she's a good character builder I love her right I fored would you like to go upstairs doesn't take a nap now since you seem so tired I know but it's like you're so tired you can't you can't control your manner you need to go lay down so you can get control okay so anyway we're going to color for a little bit you boingy boingy boingy so John just told me that a friend is coming over to bring him something that he bought and so I'm getting ready to stand by and sing happy birthday to him cuz that's how this is working yeah are you excited for your birthday present what is it you know I am excited here he is here's John's birthday
