My son is brilliant!
When he goes wee wee in thepotty, he gets to put a penny in his piggy bank. So, he went wee wee in the potty this morning and I helped him (since he was still sleepy and a thumb was in the mouth, and Eeyore was in the other hand) put the penny in the bank and I shook it and said "Yea!" like normal. He reached for the bank, took ( Read more... )

Ok, so today is my 30th birthday. I was having kind of a crappy day and (well only little bright spots here and there) CJ was rummaging around in my stuff like usual while I was trying to get ready to go to work. I was all in a hurry when I called for him, we were running late, and he came up to me holding a 3 year old anniversary card out for me. ( Read more... )

I’m feeling better the last couple days. I think it’s because I was sleeping better, and CJ was whining a little less. He’s also been trying to spend quality Mom time with me. What I mean by that, is he’s been climbing into my lap and just sitting there with me instead of climbing over me and pulling on things and in-out-in-out of my lap, and ( Read more... )

I’m really seriously not myself if I don’t get decent sleep. Yesterday I had not gotten decent sleep, and I think CJ was actually coming down (first) with the same cold that Daddy & I were developing yesterday. CJ seems to be feeling much better today (no whining yet) and so am I.

My Dad (er, now called “Poppy”) always could tell when I wasn’t ( Read more... )

The little one is in total whine storm mode if I’m not constantly playing with him. It’s REALLY grating on my nerves, and he’s going to have to learn that even though he may be an only child (at least for the forseeable future), he isn’t going to get everything he wants including all the attention all the time. Did I mention the constant whining is ( Read more... )
