Independence Days

Image
By
So a few weeks ago I spoke about Desi reverting back to baby years. Well, it seems that lately he is trying to show a little independence. He wants to do things on his own. One time I pulled a plum out of his lunch bag and handed it to him. He pushed it away and said, "No, I can do it Mommy." He took the plum from me, put it back in the bag and took it out himself. Another night he got mad at me and said, "I'm the adult and you're the child Mommy!" Wha-what did you just say to me little boy?! LOL! I couldn't even correct him because it was just so funny.

Interesting huh? He is really going through some changes. One minute he wants to be a baby and the next minute he wants to act like he is years away from my womb. LOL! Well, his growing feet are a true indication that he is becoming a big boy. A few Mondays ago, Chris and I took Desi to the mall to go shoe shopping. I decided that I wanted to get his feet measured. I am so glad that I did because the boy wears a size 9 (toddler)! Really?! I wanted to cry for 2 reasons:

1. He is far from that little bundled baby I held on 1/7/2011
2. My poor child was wearing 7/7.5 shoes up until the time we found out he should be wearing a 9!     His poor feet!

That's when I realized how new we were to this whole parenting thing. I mean I knew that this was new, but there is so much we don't know or are oblivious to. In my head, everything is slow motion (in the perspective of Desi's physical changes). I still see him as this tiny little boy. Time is getting way ahead of me. I am having a hard time catching up to it.

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...
