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.

We are finally sleeping!

OK I am sure I am jinxing myself here but FINALLY we are sleeping through the night again. Just in time you know, because I was really going to lose my sanity.

I think I know what was causing it too. I was giving his teeth a quick swipe with his toothbrush and found a new molar had popped through. But would that cause 3 weeks of sleeplessness? He never had his hands in his mouth tugging at it either.

The other day at school during pick up. He came up to me to put on his coat. Just as I get one sleeve in he psyched me out and ran to his friend and gave her a hug goodbye.

A few days before that, he was in the infant room, the teacher had two infants. She was holding one that was crying and the other was in their crib, upset as well.
Little guy goes up to the one in the crib and sticks his hands through the bar. I thought he was going to bop this baby on the head, but instead he picks up their binky and tried to put it in their mouth to soothe the little baby.

how cute is that?


Christmas is coming, only 1 more gift to buy and I am done!

This kid, I'm telling you. I honestly don't know if he is bad or what. Is this what a toddler does? Is this the terrible two's ( which I am convinced DO start in the second year and not just at age 2)? He is loving on me one minutes, playing with my hair, playing peekaboo in it. And then the next second he is chucking his sneakers at my head, and wooden puzzle pieces etc...If this is considered 'Bad' then our next one should be a jewel right? And for some reason, he isn't sleeping very well these nights. In the past 2 weeks, he has slept 2 times through the night. It's killing me.

Little guy has started to hug on me and kiss me, which I love and it would be wonderful if he didn't snap a minute later and start hitting the dog.

We had our first babysitter (that was not family or friend) on Sunday night. It went well, well... as good as the babysitter said...Little guy didn't go to bed as late as I thought he would, he even lead Kelly by the hand and said he was ready to go to sleep. We went to a concert and had a good time. I only had 2 beers. I'm glad when we wanted more beer they had shut down the concession. I really didn't need it and was glad I didnt need to worry about the ride home---In my NEW SUV!

I got a new Durango. I love it. I hated it a while ago but it's grown on me. It's got everything you could ask for in a new vehicle. Little guy loves the DVD player and is constantly begging for Cars to come on the screen. I have never had a new car before in my life.

I was at Little guys school the other day for pick up. Usually its hard to get him to go home, I have to brib him *Let's go see Smokey/Daddy/Nemo*. And this one day I was trying to get him to put on his jacket and head out. He stops and puts his jacket down and walks up to this little girl and hugs her goodbye! How cute is that? Honestly, too cute! I thought he was going to walk up to her and whop her a good one, since he does that to me all the time.


We have talked about having another soon...But with Little guy and his tantrums and behavior, I have my doubts I will have enough sanity to make it through another!
