Fishing for Goldfish

Aside from pizza, Desi's favorite food is goldfish. He wakes up asking for these little orange things everyday. He has to have some goldfish. Oh and dare we run out of the little fish. Desi will throw a fit! He'll say, "No, store mommy [daddy] store! Get da go fish!" LOL! He is so demanding. He needs a job!

Chris decided to make a little trail mix for Desi. He mixed some Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheez-Its, and Goldfish (interesting combo) in a bag. Desi loves the little mix. Anyway, yesterday, Desi and I were on our way home. He had his little stash in his lap and was munching away. All of a sudden, he starts whining about the goldfish being gone. I knew there were some in there. I told him he had to look for them. He says, " No mommy! Do it, get da go fish! Peas mommy!" He sounded so panicked--as if his whole world was going to crumble if he didn't get these fish. Because I want him to learn some independence, I insisted that he look harder. He really wanted me to get them for him, but I was driving.

It was getting a little dark outside, so I thought that maybe he couldn't really see what was left in the bag. I turned on the light long enough for him to see. He gasped and giggled and squirmed. "Oh! Go fish mommy! Got da go fish!" He squealed. It was the cutest thing. I was so tickled. I wish I could have recorded his reaction. I turned the light off thinking everything was fine. Was everything fine? No, he couldn't see the fish. "Turn da light off (= light on) mommy! No go fish!" I turn the light on and he squeals and giggles and gasps. So this continued the whole ride yesterday and we did it again today. It has now become a game. He loves it and I love it too because he just has the cutest expressions. That's my little munchie!

Poop Catcher

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

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!

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
