My Uncle "from" China

Yesterday was a great day.  My Uncle Jay who came from China but  is not from China came to visit for just a day.  I had not seen him since the week I was born.  Which I don't remember this visit at all.  However, after 30 minutes to an hour, I knew I loved my Uncle.  He is the greatest uncle from China but is not from China ever.  




I got to play soccer with my Uncle Jay.  We went to lunch with my Uncle Jay.  Then we got my cousin Sweetie and all of us went to the Desert Museum.  It was very hot and bright. My Uncle Jay was very concerned about me.  He made sure I had sunscreen and would pull Sweetie and I backwards in our stroller so the sun would never hit our fair skin.   



My Uncle Jay made sure I saw lots of things.  He'd tell my mom and dad to point me to this animal or that animal.  My Uncle Jay really loves me.






My Uncle Jay even made me wear his sunglasses because he was so concerned about the sun damaging my eyes.  Like I said, my Uncle Jay really loves me.










I love my Uncle Jay too.  I also love the animals in the desert.  I could not wait to look around and inspect them all.  There was a very nice woman in a uniform telling two people lots of information about the animals. I had to find out more.  So I walked up and joined the group.  Later mamma told me that was a private tour.  I am so glad that I got to be part of a private tour.  I learned a lot.

Me on my private tour.

My little family.  My sibling is in my mommy's belly.  Every morning I pat her belly and say hello to my sibling. 


Don't worry, Sweetie, I will find you some rocks.  They are the best thing ever.

I brought you some.













My Uncle Jay was very taken with the scenery.  He kept taking mom's camera and snapping away.  He wanted to get pics of the beautiful blue sky, all the plants, all the animals, and everything.  Lots and lots of pictures.


A Javelina



He even posed Sweetie with amazing views of the desert.  My mom says he has good eye.  I wonder if his other eye is bad.





See this bird.  It attacked us.  I think it was Daddy's fault.  Daddy was holding me showing me all the birds in the humming bird house.  We were standing super close inspecting this humming bird.  My parents were telling me all about the bird and how pretty it was and how fast it moved.  Then Daddy says, "Can you imagine how much it would hurt to get hit in the face with that little bird going 60 mph?"  Well, the bird heard him and flew full force at Daddy's head.  Daddy ducked so fast he collided with my head.  It hurt me really bad.  I wanted to cry but I was strong.  Worst part of my day.






These metal javelinas were my fav.  I couldn't stop climbing on them.  I really loved them.






After the museum we had to take Uncle Jay to the airport.  It was sad.  I hugged my daddy as he carried me to the gate to say goodbye to Uncle Jay.  I hope I get to see him soon.  He played soccer with me and made me laugh.  I love him lots.

Tomorrow I leave him

When I sat down to write this blog, I was gonna write about the adventures Little Man and I had last week.  It was gonna be all up beat and fun.  I was gonna share all the fun we had.  However, I am just not feeling it.   First pic of me and my son.  You see I got the call.  "Mrs. Spear, my wife is in labor.  She will need you to fill in for her now."  "Ok, I'll be there Monday morning." So much to think about.  While I am excited about this going back to work idea, I am very sorry to leave Little Man.  I have had the great privilege to have 6 full months and a week to be a full time stay at home mom.    First Bath It has been wonderful and exhausting.  Lovely and inspiring.  Crazy and calm at the same time.  First Car Ride So tiny and small. Oh the love.  One week old. One Month Old  Back in October, the school I will be working at called and asked me to cover a long term position in Kindergarten.  It would start in January and end

 Guest Blogger: Little Man I realize that I am the star of this blog, but since mom has been feeling a bit under the weather lately (I hear she is growing a baby...whatever that means), I thought I'd take a chance to help her out and update you on our wonderful day.  Today was a day I think mom and dad had just as much fun as I did.  This is rare.  I mean they really don't seem to get the wonder that is life.  I mean we have a whole bunch of rocks in our yard, and they are perfect to stick in your cheeks.  This is a blast.  Whenever I do this, instead of joining me, mom starts yelling, "No No No.  Get those rocks out of your mouth."  I really think if she tried it she'd have as much fun as me. Today though they joined me in my fun and only stopped the fun once.  I'll get to that part. First they made me take my morning nap in the car.  They drove and drove and talked and talked up front.  It was boring me so I took a nap.  Then we get to this pla

As I make the transition from full time stay at home mom to "full-time" working mom/"full-time" mom.  Life changes.  I find I spend the majority of my day preparing for the next day.  I drop my son off at day care at 6:40.  I head to work.  Work.  Work.  Pump so my son has food for the next day.  Work. Work. Work.  (Between the time of work I laugh (inside) at all the funny things that kindergarteners say.)  Pick Little Man up from day care (best part of the day).  Go home.  Clean bottles. Clean pump.  Make new bottles.  Fill bags with new diapers for Little Man tomorrow.  Make dinner.  (I won't say clean up dinner since Main Man does this.) Give Little Man a bath.  Put him to bed.  Climb into bed exhausted.  Then start all over again. Oh friends.  A wonderful trip to NC. Even though I love the school I am working at, I don't know how some women do this all the time. I imagine it would be easier if I was not having to pump and take of all the bottles.
