stay tuned...

so, my x-mas post is having trouble posting. bummer dude!

here are some of my latest thoughts and quips from the weekend:

"Stop biting his tail!" -Said to MICAH regarding jack-jack (Our mini dachshund.)

I also got to clean up poop from the stairs... Micah decided to take off his diaper and run around the house naked. twice.

Dora and Boots

I have resisted showing micah dora the explorer for the entirety of his life. Mostly it's because she's super annoying, but also because she speaks spanglish and the kid has enough issues with the english language as it is.

As we were scrolling through netflix last night he spotted that darn monkey and has been requesting "monkee-sew!" ever since...
So much for that plan!

Well, duh!

Wanna' hear a funny story?

So, Micah wanted some yogurt the other morning and so i told him to go downstairs and get some and bring it to me. (Lazy Parenting? Yes! but it was a snow day!)

I hear him come back up the stairs and get side tracked playing toys.

He then says "MMMMM! nummy!"

I ask him what he's doing and he replies "eating ife-ream, mama."

With his play kitchen ladle, no less.

Well, duh mama!

Swimming, Soccer, and other Boyish Sports

So, i have decided that Micah needs some new activities. Change things up a bit. Get him moving. You know, enjoy having only one child so that i can pick three activities instead of one activity per kid!

I am also looking for indoor sports because i don't really do weather. Here are the options I have come up with:
-Swimming
-soccer class
-soccer league
-gymnastics

Fortunately, all but the soccer league is indoors! Holler!

I think that my plan is going to be to do swimming from january- february on saturday mornings and gymnastics on monday evenings. The soccer league starts in march, so we'll probably do that once swimming ends and then micah can pick if he'd rather do swimming or gymnastics again.

A few updates

1. I am still gluten intolerant. As much as i tried to say i was fine this weekend eating all kinds of gluten i am really not fine right now. Holy crap! (pun intended.)

2. Micah's birthday is 4 months away! I can't beleive he will be three! Eek! I am thinking either superheroes, cowboy/western, or maybe pirates.

3. My local grocery store has tortillas in three seperate locations! Aisle 1 by the taco shells, in the refridgerator section by the mexican cheese, and by the sour cream. Silly me only checked the first two locations.

4. My house is a sty! I can't wait to have next week off to clean it!

The Wa-wee-pop Whine

So, i basically feel like I suck as a parent lately. M refuses to eat real food on even a semi-consistent basis, his sleep schedule is craziness, and I am working so much that i just feel drained. I am basically with him 24/7 and work almost full time so I feel like I am always "on." i think if he slept in his own bed and fell asleep at a decent time (ie; 8 or 9pm) then I would at least get a consistent 2-3 hour break everyday to sit and not have to worry about anyone else.

The food thing is driving me nuts too! He wakes up asking for candy, or cookies, or wawheepops, or coffee (we don't even own a coffee maker!) and even though i don't give it to him he won't eat real food either. Ugh! I need supernanny or something!

I know that when he's 15 and sleeps the day away while eating me out of house and home i will be wishing he was 2 again, but today it's hard!

Snow Day!

We had our first snow of the season yesterday! It would have been awesome if we were inside with some hot chocolate, but we were in the Apex Christmas Parade. Brr! Anything that cold is harder with a 2 year old. Brian had fun dancing with the other APA dads and there was a nice turnout of parade watchers. In this picture I am wearing: a tank top, a long sleeve shirt, a fleece jacket, a scarf, and the red sweatshirt. I was still cold. I am glad i have finally thawed out now!
