And he's off........

So as everyone knows, Fearless Boy loves his bike! He rides it as fast as he can anywhere. The Hub has been asking to take the training wheels off for a bit. FB declines this politely by yelling "No way! Then I can't do tricks anymore". A few days ago when I walked up to the babysitter's front door to collect the FB, I noticed that his bike wasn't parked in his usual spot by the front door. No, it was laying down-and missing something very important-THE TRAINING WHEELS. When FB came to the door-he proudly announced that they took off his training wheels and he can ride on the grass. Babysitter's Boy helped FB on the bike, gave a small push and off he went! I applauded and cheered as was expected, but all the while freaking out inside. He's too little!!! The Diva-in-Training just learned to ride without training wheels last year at the great age of 6. FB is 3-this is not okay.

The next day he headed to the local airport to do his customary airport security shift (it is really Hub's job, but the FB thinks he is a cop too). The bike came along and he took off and showed his Dad how awesome he was. The Hub texted me a picture of this fun. I immediately texted back-"NO WHEELIES!!!" (I may have had a few more of the exclamation points.) Hub told FB this order from Mom. He was obedient, but that didn't mean he was happy about it. The FB continued to circle the airport a few times. He finally stopped in front of his Dad and said "I am so pissed!" The Hub stifled a giggle and asked why. FB replied "Because Mom said no wheelies." Then he continued on. A bit later he stopped again and said again "I am pissed." This time it was about some boy at Chik-fil-a that didn't believe that he was a cop. (There will be an entry on this delusion later-when the Hub will download the pictures.)

As for the lovely language from my sweet little boy-I have no idea where he picked it up. SERIOUSLY!! As my boss said when the story was told at work-it's too mild to have been picked up from his mom! That is not entirely true. I do use "sentence enhancers" (too much Spongebob!!!) but try to be careful around the kids. D-i-T lectures me when I say bad words. She didn't repeat a whole lot when she was little. Fearless Boy on the other hand repeats them all! In the correct context. Reminds me of Calvin who was very good at doing the same at that age! We have explained that 'pissed off' is not a good thing for a little boy to say. It hasn't happened again-but who knows. Honestly-I know it's wrong, but secretly I just giggle every time he uses a sentence enhancer. I don't let him see though!

Photo tagged

Because there has been so much going on I have been slow the check the other blogs I read. Apparently I was tagged with the challenge to open my third picture folder and post the third picture in it. Well, I did and it was an evidence picture from the Hub's work camera. Didn't think that would be appropriate to post so I cheated and chose the 2nd folder third picture. Hope that's okay MommyBake (still haven't figured out your code name yet. It will come to me). So here it is...

Boys-Don't mess with the Diva-in-Training. She's kicking butt and taking names!!!

(These are air-soft guns by the way, so no one turns me in to DCFS!!)

What is he thinking????

I was in the kitchen tonight after FB had his bath. I turned around and this is what I saw.......
.

You'd think I would know not to leave him unattended. He was pretty impressed with his creativity. I just laughed my butt off! He just makes my day.

I do wonder sometimes what I'm getting myself into with him. Fearless Boy is my baby and I love him more than anything (well, except the Diva-she ties with him on that!). He does freak me out sometimes though. He jumps off of EVERYTHING!!! Today he was showing me he can do bunny hops (what the hell are those?) on his bike. He was sooooo proud of himself. He does wheelies on his bike-they are getting bigger and more dangerous. He hauls butt everywhere on his bike! The boy has a need for speed and danger I'm finding out.

Names changed to protect the innocent!!!

Okay-I guess before I do any more posts I should introduce the stars of the blog-the 2 main people you will hear about (well, besides me!). There will be several costars as well.

The first is the Diva-in-Training (also referred to as the D-i-T or simply Diva when I'm too lazy to type it out). The Diva is the 7 going on 17 year old that lives in the house. She is the first born, so I am saving for therapy rather than College. She is scary smart and growing up too fast.

The second is Fearless Boy (also referred to as FB when again I don't want to type the whole thing out). FB is exactly that-FEARLESS. Sometimes that freaks me out. I only had girls in my family, so having a boy throws me A LOT. He is 3 and hopefully he makes it to 4 without stitches or broken bones! So far, so good. My life would be a bit mundane without him and his antics.

Not sure what the Code Names will be for other family members. Sis-in-law 007 knows who she is (she better!!!) and without her I would never have done this. I have awesome family members from the spouse's side (and of course mine too!). I will come up with more names later to protect the identities of the innocent!!! ;)

The name of the blog is going to stay Nesha's Notes. Sis-in-law 007 suggested "Naughty Nesha". Thank you for that-you know me well, but this is not that kind of blog! The current name came from a bulletin board my Mom had made for me when I was younger. Thanks for the idea Mom!

Finally I did this. Sis-in-law 007 only tagged me 2 weeks ago! I tag anyone reading this who has a blog that hasn't done it yet.

My first time!!! (not that one-dirty mind!)

Well, I decided that I needed to do my own blog. Thanks to reading my sis-in-law's blog (and the one's of her sisters-hope you don't mind! Fun to read.), I have become motivated enough to do this. My only problem is finding a clever name. I can be witty, but not when I'm on the spot. So the challenge is to help me come up with a great name. First a few things about me that may help you in your quest.

1- I am a Prissy girl! Don't like to get dirty, sweat or dirt. Basically being outside!

2- I have 2 kids that I chase regularly.

3- I have the best job ever. I work for a dentist and have rockin' co-workers

4- I love music (except for country). I have to have music to function.

5- I LOVE pink bubblegum ice cream!

6- I love to shop (mainly online because being in Moab- not much of a choice).

7- I love The Office! How can you not love to be annoyed by Dwight?

8- Enjoy reading, but nothing that will educate me. I read for fun and relaxation.

9- I don't have a problem taking a dare. In fact, that has gotten me into trouble at times!

10- I love being a mom!

Okay-encourage people to help come up with a better name for this. My sis-in law who unknowingly started this (I want to be like her when I grow up), had a great one, but I can't remember it (sorry)!
The winner will get a prize (not sure what it will be, but isn't that half the fun?). Good Luck!!!!
