Silver Lining

Desi is getting better everyone!!! He is still a little congested so we have been spraying some saline solution in his nose to clear it up. He is back at daycare with all of his little friends, so all is well.

Anyway, the post is really about my experience with Desi on the ride to daycare every morning. One word...HILARIOUS.

I drive Desi to daycare every morning. This is what goes on in the car on our way there.

Desi: MOMMY!
Me: Yes Desi?
Desi: Hungee! Foodt.
Me: Hold on Desi
Desi: MOMMY! Goldfish.
Me: I don't have goldfish right now Desi
Desi: Mommy! Nana!
Me: You ate the banana already baby boy
Desi: No, nana!
Me: No Desi
Desi: Mulk mommy, mulk
Me: Hold on Desi, mommy is driving. Wail 'til I stop at a light and I will get you your milk.
Desi: Okay mommy...mulk mommy!
Me: Desi, what did I say?
Desi: Peas?
Me: No Desi wait a sec

*this goes on the whole car ride sometimes*

So yesterday, I tried something new. I ignored him after a while. Here is the conversation.

Desi: Nana Mommy!
Me: Hold on Desi
Desi: Okay mommy...nana mommy.
Me: Alright Desmond
Desi: Turn on mommy!
Me: The music is on Desi
Desi: No mommy! TURN ON!
Me: (I turn up music)
Desi: Thankum...mulk mommy!
Me: Here (give him milk)
Desi: (3 seconds later) all done. Here mommy!
Me: Desi I am driving. Hold on to it please.
Desi: Okay mommy...here mommy. All done!
Me: (irritated by this point) Give it here Desmond
Desi: Mommy hungee! Goldfish
Me: (ignoring)
Desi: Mommy fooodt. Fooodt mommy. Goldfish?
Me: (ignoring)
Desi: Mommy...mommy....mommy? MOMMY!
Me: (irritated) Yes Desmond
Desi: So happy!
Me: (melting) Aww, Desi! Mommy is so glad that you are happy. Aww, baby that is great!
Desi: Yeah, so happy mommy

That was definitely the silver lining!!! I have never heard him express himself that way so I was just delighted. Let's just say I was no longer irritated. He really knows how to win me over! LOL!

Night Night!

Poop Catcher

By
Hello!! I've been gone for a while, but for good reason. I was studying for my state exam for my insurance license. I passed! I am now licensed to write and sell auto and home policies. Woo hoo! So I got my life back. Hubby was so great during this time. He took care of everything and supported me tremendously. Now, Desi was supportive as well. He would join in on my studies. "Want to study with chew mommy," he would say. When I passed, he said "Good job mommy! So proud of you!" (of course daddy coached him). It just warmed my heart. Anyway,  I have to share this hilarious story with you all. One night, earlier last week, we are trying to get Desi to poop in the toilet.  He just refused to sit his little butt down on the seat. We knew he had to poop, so we really wanted him to get on the toilet. My husband was speaking with his mother on the phone and she heard the commotion. She suggested that we just let him go pamperless for the night before going to bed. T...

So Emotional

By
I am all over the place this week. My emotions are running wild and my eating is out of control! No I'm not preggers, I'm just trying to put up with a visitor (ya'll know what I'm talking about). I wish I could take a vaca with myself during these times because I hate being around people. I can be mean. The men of my house experience my wrath more than anyone else. My poor Desi was so mad with me today because I was so impatient with him. He said, "tell my daddy on You! I told him to go on and tell his daddy. He just seems to pull on that nerve a little more around this time. Not only do I have to deal with a visitor today, I have to deal with allergies! My eyes are swollen, I can't breathe and I feel like if I sneeze one more time I'm gonna scream. With all of that being said, my poor baby didn't really have fun with mommy today. We fussed at each other all night. I felt like I wanted to cry because all I wanted was a little break and I couldn't ...

Food Fight!

By
My child won't eat dinner! Should I be offended? LOL! I mean, is my cooking that bad? He will nibble on the food and start playing with it. Next thing I know, it's on the floor and the dog is eating it, or Desi is sneaking the edibles under the tray of his high chair. Chris and I will tell him to eat and he turns his nose up and says a big "NO." We never had this problem with him before, so I don't know why he is not interested in eating all of a sudden. I am starting to worry a bit because I don't think he is getting all the nutrients he needs. However, a friend of mine told me that when her son was around Desi's age, she had the same issue with him. Her doctor told her not to worry. He told her that if she could get him to have a teaspoon of food per his age (2 teaspoons for a 2 year old), he will get all the nutrients he needs. I will try that, but, first, how am I going to get him to open up and eat the food? He's a pretty stubborn one. He got th...
