Lessons Little Man Learned Today....Maybe

1.  When Mom says no more TV, getting out the phonics DVD and asking to watch that does not count as TV.  Apparently, Mom has a soft spot for letters and letter sounds.

Pics are from the Halloween festival we went to at a local church.  We had a blast.

2.  Putting a cop car under the cable box results in the cable box crashing to the floor and having to spend time in the time out chair.


3.  Declaring "I poop. I poop now."  delays getting out the door by a good 30 minutes.


4.  No matter how cute I look, when I say, "I watch you coop weal cose."  (I watch you scoop really close) then try to get in the litter box while Mom is scooping litter, I will get sent away.


5.  Riding my sister like a horse, results in time out.


6.  Hitting my sister over the head with toy frying pan results in a time out.


6.  Standing in the stroller when we enter the hospital to Daddy's work and then cupping my hands around my mouth like a blow horn and screaming, "DADDY!  DADDY, COME!  DADDY COME WORK!", does not make Daddy come.  It does however, result in sitting facing a wall in the hospital lobby in a time out.


7.  Calling Daddy on your play phone for "Help.  No Tandy"  is really cute.


8.  When it is nap time eeking out a little bit of poop 3 times in row causes Mom to give up on nap time and declare a Movie Day.


9.  During said movie, feeding "Sis" dried cranberries and giving her drink of Apple Cider is only welcomed by "Sis".  Mom thinks it is a terrible idea.


10.  When Mom says, "No throwing water out of the bath tub.", it is not a good idea to look her in the eye and throw water at her.  Bath time will end rapidly and I will have to stand watching "Sis" take a bath by herself.

11.  While standing naked crying because bath time is over and I start peeing, it is a bad idea to try to run on the tile floor I just peed on.

12.  Most importantly,  even when Mom and I have rough days she loves me.  She loves it when I am nice to "Sis".  She loves me so much and will still snuggle, cuddle, tickle and wrestle me.  She loves to hear me laugh and loves it even more when I say, "I wub oo, momma".

13.  Falling asleep with my head on momma's chest wrapped in her arms, is the best place to be.

14.  Walking into a room and declaring, "Momma, I need hug."  melts momma every time.

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.
