Night and Day

I have often said that Thing 1 and Thing 2 are as different as night and day.  These two are so opposite, one is right handed the other left; one is a night owl/early bird the other crashes fairly early and likes to sleep in.  One is a shrimpy little fella, the other is a chunk...really that is his nickname.

What my two polar opposites do have in common is 1) the need to constantly fuss and argue with the other and 2) the ability to search me out in the house.  The first is a given, they are siblings, they are boys, they are less than 3 years apart.  They are going to fight.  The second one is the one that drives me bananas at times.

I love my children and am so grateful to be their mom.  With that being said, it irks the sh!t out of me that they will literally go ask Hubs, "Where's mama", and the following conversation is normally what takes place:

Hubs--"not sure why, what do you need"
Kid--"I need mama"
Hubs--"why"
Kid--"just because"
Hubs "well go find her"
      ****I am usually in 1 of 3 places  the kitchen, back porch or obviously the bathroom****
Kid--"MAMA, MAMA, MAMA, MA, MA, WHERE ARE YOU?" **my house is nowhere big enough to need to go on any exstenive search, because again I am 1 of 3 places**

Me--"Here I am"
Kid--"what are you doing"
Me-- "I am (insert motherly activity here)
Kid--"OK" and takes off in the other direction

This happens no less than 4 times a day at my house.  My boys keep tabs on me.  They are mama's boys for sure.

I know that one day they will not care where I am, and what I am doing, so even though it bothers me at times I know that I will miss it in the future.  After all they will always be my babies.  Even when I am having to look up at them.
