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!

Who Are You My Beloved?

By
After watching a series of Iyanla Fix My Life episodes I felt compelled to write a post about who I am as a woman. Have I truly explored that question? Who is Aisha? I have all these parts that make up the whole but what is the whole? Let's break it down by the parts first. A part of me is: 1. A wife 2. A mom 3. A daughter 4. A sister These positions in life add to who I am. Now WHO AM I at my core? Here is what I am discovering: I am a woman who has a great deal of love and respect for Jehovah God. This is the biggest part of who I am. How I move in life, whether it be spiritually,  physically,  emotionally or mentally, is wrapped up in my relationship with Jehovah. I am a woman who cares about the well being of others and is moved to help where necessary. I do not like to be overbearing and I am very sensitive to others feelings. I am observant and intuitive. At times I can be proactive and at other times I can be reactive and I am okay with that. I am a woman that lo...

Let's Play?

By
I think I have lost my ability to play. Many times I wonder where my imagination has gone. I admire those moms that can think of myriads of play activities. I can't think of a single one. So when I say to Desi, "Wanna play with mommy?" When he says "yes" (sometimes he will say "no mommy") I am thinking, "okay what should we do?" I get slight anxiety. LOL! We'll run around and play with cars, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I guess I can google activities to do with a 1 1/2 year old, but shouldn't this come naturally? I don't know why this is an issue to be honest. I feel pretty silly even writing about it but I am hoping I am not the only one in the motherhood feeling this way.  Case in point, Desi and I were playing at the park the other day. He goes to sit down in the mulch and he says to me, "sit mommy, sit." I sit with him and start wondering what should we do. So I pick up two sticks and we have a stick f...

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...
