Haygen

After my last post I decided you all might like a little more of cute Haygen. This little boy will be 3 years old in one week and is the light of his mom and dad's life. He may be a total terror but he can turn around and be the sweetest little boy in the world. He has his Grandma and Grandpa Munk wrapped around his little finger and he will never let them go. He has also been able to gain control of his older brothers and sisters.

Here are a few stories of this little boys exploits.

The biggest one that comes to mind, that I witnessed, happened when we went to visit at Easter. We hadn't been able to visit since the previous Easter so we had a lot to catch up on. We were all sitting in the living room visiting, having a great time. Haygen had his sippy cup full of orange soda and he threw it on the floor. His dad grabbed it before it could shoot orange soda all over the tan carpet. Haygen ran up to his dad, grabbed for the cup and said, "I need that you A$$." A big gasp from everyone in the room and then we all started to laugh. I know, we totally shouldn't have laughed, but in our defense what else could we do. It was totally hysterical. Well Haygen was so mortified he stopped, looked around, and then ran to his mom crying his eyes out. All while we still laughed.

Next we come to Resign and every mothers dream, fits in stores. Now the resign thing we are all still trying to figure out. It all started with a nightmare in the middle of the night, when he woke up crying and totally hysterical. When his mom tried to find out what he was so upset about he just kept repeating that daddy had resigned his pants. He really does not like things to be resigned. The next time he cried about something being resigned we were in the store and we told him that we needed to pay for his water. We handed it to the cashier and off he went into his crying. We asked him what was wrong and he said that his water had been resigned and he didn't want it anymore. If anyone has an idea let us know. We sure can't figure this one out.

This leads us into the fit throwing. My mother-in-law shared the latest one with us last weekend. They were in the store and yes, like any other child Haygen wanted a toy. When he was told no it started. Five minutes later he is still throwing away when they decide it's time to take him to the car. My mother-in-law proceeds to take him to the car only to realize she doesn't have any keys to the car. So there she stands in the parking lot, for ten minutes, with a screaming child and no keys. Haygen's mom comes out with the keys and they finally get him into the car. Now this took both of the adults. Meanwhile they figure out that Grandpa is still in the store. So grandma goes to find grandpa while mom is left in the car with Haygen, another 10 minutes. Now Haygen is a really smart kid. He managed to get himself out of the car seat 5 times. Here's mom wrestling him back in each time with some guy watching and taking pictures with his phone as he was talking. They were sure the cops were going to show up to arrest them for child abuse. Luckily they finally made it out of the parking lot and Haygen finally calmed down after having thrown a fit for 45 minutes.

I know that so far he sounds like a little monster but he isn't. I think he is the sweetest kid in the world. He has such a big heart and is so smart. He learned to open the fridge by the time he was 1. He is really an amazing kid. He also knows the 'Cars' movie by heart, simple loves it.

A couple of weeks ago his dad and grandpa were going camping. Not one to be left out he took off outside, climbed in the truck, and buckled himself into his car seat by himself. No way was he getting left at home with the girls when there where mountains to be conquered. Mom was a little upset that he didn't kiss her but she went and got her lovin'. He is his mama's little boy. He loves her so much and will grab her by the cheeks and ask her if she is OK. Like I said he is really a sweet little boy. But he is a little boy and like all little boys he loves to be adventurous.

You know how everyone says that children are really close to God. Well this little boy will make you so believe that. He woke up from a nap a few months ago and when his mom asked him what he dreamed about he told her he dreamed about the Shinny Moon. What is the Shinny Moon you ask? Well, that is what he call Heaven. He told his mom he was playing with his girl cousins on the Shinny Moon. When his mom asked him what his cousins names were he said I don't know they don't have names yet. Well his aunt is pregnant right now and we all truly believe that he was having a great visit with his soon to be born cousin. Who knows? It really can make you wonder.

Look at that smile. It could melt any one's heart. He has kept us all young as our own kids have grown into adulthood and teenageness(is that a word?). Even though we don't get to see him all the time he knows who we are and is never shy about coming to give us a hug and a kiss, his great mom made sure of that. She let him carry our family picture around as much as he wanted. What angel's, Haygen and his mom Lesty.
