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!

The Warmth of the Snow

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!

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...

Long Time

It has been a long time since I've blogged. To be honest, I kinda lost interest for a few months. I guess it may have been because no one was reading it. I just happened to look at it today and it sparked up an interest again. I realized how much I just really like writing. So to heck with it. I'm gonna write. I don't care if no one will ever read it. With all that said, let's talk about motherhood. Desmond is 1 1/2 years old! He is busy as ever. He loves playing outdoors, especially in the rain. He says,  "Outside Mommy! Pay, I want pay!" Now who can say no to that? Oh! Wait Wait! I gotta share this first before I go any further. Two days ago, I came home with Desi (after picking him up from daycare). We walked in the house and he greeted our dog as usual. Then he yelled "D-A-A-D-Y!" I told him daddy wasn't home yet. He looked at me and said, "baketball?" How did he know that? Yes, my husband was out playing basketball. But how did h...
