Life with Diapers

I am the wife of a Corporate Drone by day, Rock Star by night. AND the best mom I can be to a gorgeous toddler. PLUS managing to work full time. And somehow I have turned 31.

The other day I pick up little guy and he's wearing a shirt other than what I sent him to daycare in...His teacher said he spilled juice on his shirt. No biggie.
The next day, I get the full story. He was having a snack and decided to take his full dixie cup of apple juice and pour it over his head. I think he gets it from me. I used to do that all the time when I was his age. My mother used to have this redskins pom pom winter hat that I had to wear at every meal.

Little guy sings to himself, I can't make out the words, but I can tell the tunes he's babbling along to. He likes the 'itsy bitsy spider' and 'where is thumbkin'. And at the end of a song he says 'Yayyyy'.

He cannot get enough of the movie Cars. We watched it for days when it first came out of DVD. Disney is now playing little music videos of the soundtrack with clips of the movie, and the world stops until the end of the song.


More later...

I'm baaack!

I am back blogging now. Things were getting hectic around my house. And I have started to feel bad that I have not documented Little Guy more, so here we go...


This kid absolutly kills me some days! We are experiencing the typical toddler actions, Hitting 'NO' etc. He loves on me one minute and then the next, he's bopping me right in the mouth! But how can you get mad at this...


We practiced for weeks saying 'Moo'. This Halloween was his first real trick or treating. Last year, he sat in his wagon and was pulled around by Daddy. He did get treats in his little jack-o-lantern bucket too. But this time was different. He actually walked up to the folks sitting on their front porches handing out candy and held out his candy bucket. It only took a few houses for him to get the grand scheme of things.

He is saying the funniest things sometimes too. His teacher at daycare is named Gina. And when Gina leaves for the day, all the kids see/hear the other teachers say 'Bye Gina'. Well Little Guy thinks thats the normal way to say 'bye' so to anyone who is leaving its 'Bye Gina'. He also does the delayed 'bye' his dad will try to get a 'bye' out of him before he leaves for work or whatever and Little Guy will not say bye, until daddy has left the house and has started up his car.

We have not had any problems with sleeping at night, unless Little Guy is sick. he goes down easy, and takes me by the hand to tell me it's night night time. And after I have tucked him in and am telling him 'Goodnight, Mommy loves you, see you in the morning'. We will have a 'see you' send off, back and forth, and then he finishes with a 'NIGHT'!

We only allow him to have his Binky at night. And sometimes when he is upstairs after work or after dinner, he runs to his room to try to steal the Binky from his crib. He pushes his little arms as far as they can reach, but I have them pushed just out of his reach so he can't swipe them. And for some reason, he has started calling them Binky Balls. No clue where that came from!

We just got the Disney Cars movie on Tuesday. This is the first movie that I have seen him pay attention to for longer than 20 minutes. I am amazed. I have a feeling we will be watching this often in the evenings.

Little guy has only recently started to enjoy books. There are 3 that he loves and one of them is Go Dog Go. I think I read this at least 3 times a night. I can read this w/o even looking at the pages. I loved that book growing up too.

Well thats about it for now. 1 and a half more months until he is offically 2 years old and gets moved out of the toddler room and into the 2's. AND the rate goes down, whoo hoo!
