Something Random

Must clean house! If ya'll could see my place right now, you would probably slap me! It has been a crazy week. My husband and I have been getting ready for this event that we were dancing/singing in (he danced and I sang), so we were in and out of the house all week. Desi is the coolest because he hung tough with us through it all. But now even he will say, dirty mommy...clean up (as he nods to gain my approval of his comment). I wish I had a maid and a cook because cooking and cleaning are the two things that I do the most at home. Such wishful thinking will get me nowhere! LOL!

Anyway, Desi helps in his own little way. He  loves to sweep and put his little dishes away. He has also become the little chef. He loves helping with the PBJ's. He will ask me, "Doing mommy?" and I will say (for example), "Oh, mommy's just putting the dishes away." Desi will nod his head and say, "help?" I love it! I just hope that he will continue to offer his help when he gets older.

Okay so, I've got to purge some of Desi's clothes. That is definitely going to be a task. I have to admit that I hate, hate, hate getting rid of the clothes Desi can't fit. It's such a task. I'm going to have to do it though because his room is looking crazy and we can never find clothes that actually fit him because his old clothes are still hanging around. Ugh! Can I just chill on an island somewhere for a minute or two? I just need a moment.

Well, I'm going to close up for the night. Before I do that, here are some cute things Desi is saying.

Turn on muskick! (turn on the music)
Desi has a dolphin shirt and after I put it on him tonight he said, "Golphin!" He pretends to eat them (any fishy looking thing he tries to eat because it reminds him of his favorite snack - goldfish) and says, "eatin da golphin mommy!" Hilarious and disturbing at the same time! LOL!

I know that I've jumped around a lot, but this is not a blog with format. Conversations lack format and that is the feel that I am going for with my posts. Alright, that's it. I'm calling it a night.

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...
