Do I really have time for that?


I go back to work Monday. Part of me is ready to go back because one I can only do so much around the house when the baby is sleeping and two I am getting really stir crazy. I honestly thought I would want to be a stay at home mom...not so much...of course I may eat those words when he is a little older and doing more than eating a bottle and sleeping all day!! The other part of me isn't ready for the sitter to tell me...."he laughed out loud today"..."hes holding his bottle all by himself now"..."hes talking!!"....it will break me!! and then the fact that Josh will have him in the afternoons I still will miss out on so much too!! I just keep telling myself....working hard now will allow him to have the things he needs and he will appreciate me for that. Between now and then I want to have a little time to myself...kick my feet up and put that load of laundry off or the sink full of dishes off just one more day....and hold him all day and soak it all in.....as much time as I think I have since I don't really get that much sleep.....I don't have time to kick my feet up!!

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.
