So far so good

We are only 9 days into the new year and I have made 2 crafts that i have pinned,. I am stoked. I haven't really started my "clean eating" dilemma, but I have eaten out 2 days in a row for lunch this week. *SIGH* But it is only the 9th day. Ill be more worried when December 2013 is creeping around and I still don't have half of my resolutions list completed.

I was ready. Like overly ready for Christmas break to be over. Success with Christmas. Kids were happy. Christmas dinner was great. And something I could eat daily. New Years Eve was great. Except I rang in the New Year alone. Josh was at work. Jill was in Oklahoma. Jaxon and Jessie were asleep by 930! *SIGH* At least we were full, warm and had a cozy bed to sleep in. I am grateful and blessed.

I should have added to my resolution list that I need to appreciate my home more. I don't like the neighborhood i live in, but should be thankful i am a part of one. Our house could use new siding and we need new windows, i should be thankful I have walls around me anyway. I feel like the walls are closing in on me, i need to be thankful we have alot of things. I don't like that the floors get dirty, i need to be thankful i have floors to clean.

All in all....i am happy with my life and my start to a new year. I am happy to see what this year brings for me and my family. Things may not always work out the way i want them too, and that's OK. I have accepted the fact that maybe i am not always in control, but you will be a lot better off if i am....

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.

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...

LOOK! LISTEN!

He looks so big sitting on this little truck. The little truck that plays the most annoying music in the house. I am a weird mom! I refuse to remove any batteries from any toy that we buy him or that he receives as a gift. They are musical and educational and he loves to dance to the songs. So I will not take that from him....but its still annoying nonetheless.... Anyway...I am so proud of how fast he learns to do everything and that he is as independent as his little self can be. He loves to listen to the 2 songs on this little truck. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Do You Know the Muffin Man are constantly playing. He is a big boy now. He isn't my little baby bundled up anymore......
