Privacy Please!

By
The other day I was using the bathroom (there is a reason for disclosing TMI) and Desi, as always, was standing in the bathroom with me. He refused to leave. He sat on his little red stool and played with his plane. I really needed some privacy so I asked him to go pick his toys up and put them away. He said "no mommy, plane." Translation here is he did not want to because he was playing with his plane. I waited a few minutes and proceeded to ask him to pick his toys up again. He slowly said, "no...mommy...PLANE!" I could tell he was a little irritated with me asking for a second time, but I really needed some privacy. The third time I asked, I got a little more serious with the request. I thought, then, that he would leave out and do what I said. Instead he got up quickly, looked me straight in the eyes and very exactly said, "NO MOMMY PLANE!" After standing his ground, he stepped outside the bathroom and closed the door on me. As if that wasn't enough, he yelled through the crack of the door and said, "AIRPLANE MOMMY!" Translation here is "how many times do I have to tell you that I'm busy playing with my airplane?"

He left me there in the bathroom. He really never came back. LOL! Maybe I should do that more often. It was hilarious though. My little munchie was serious and the way he left the bathroom just had me cracking up! LOL! I can't wait for more of these moments.

Night Night!

The Warmth of the Snow

By
It was a cold and snowy Thursday morning. My icy cold hands fought to get Desi buckled up in his car seat. I gave him a kiss and headed over to my driver's side. I peered across the street and spotted this man walking his dog. I thought to myself, "He's pretty sexy." This overwhelming feeling comes over me and I revert to my school girlish ways. He approaches me with the warmest smile and I soon didn't feel so cold anymore. I am taken into his masculine arms and I am given a gentle kiss. We hold each other as the snow falls all around us. We gaze into each others eyes as we dance to "Down by the Bay" (songs in kid minor). LOL!  That moment with my husband meant so much. It was a rush rush kind of morning and to just take the time to embrace each other helps you to continue to remember the love you have for the one that was there before your child. Once you have a child, life tends to revolve around that little person. However, it is so important for t...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...

Food War (Part Deux): Silent Treatment

By
Thank you all for the suggestions regarding Desi's dinner time. Your comments and what I've been reading online have really helped me calm down. Tonight, I approached dinner with ease. I made something I knew he would eat--fish sticks and tater tots. I added some succotash and cornbread. I set the plate down and we prayed over the food and I didn't say a word after that. He dove into the fish sticks and tater tots. He played in the succotash and didn't even eat the cornbread, but that's alright because he ate something. I gave him a cheese stick and strawberries after dinner. I praised him for eating and once again, did not stress over what he didn't eat. I was less stressed and so was he. I think that makes for a successful evening at the table! Is this war over? Only time will tell. You all may find interest in www.parenting.com . They have some cool tips and recipes for our picky kids. I also found this cookbook below. I think I am going to buy it. If I d...
