Live, Laugh, Pray, Love Mommy

These are a few of Desi's favorite things: Trains Big trucks Construction sites Airplanes Drums Disney Cars themed anything Tyson (our dog) - he is his "bef fren" Flowers Pine cones Singing Dancing It's so interesting to see how his interests have evolved over the past few months. I am going to try to make record of anything new. I think it would be cool to look back at what captured his attention a few years from now. He is such an amazing little boy. I wish I can record every single moment, so you all can see just how amazing he is. Night Night!

I was having dinner with the little man the other day and I simply asked him, "is your food good Desi?" He looked and me and said, "No Desi mommy, I Desmond." Stop the music, hold the phone and pump the brakes. Did he just say that? So, in my confusion and disbelief I began pleading with him to let me call him Desi. He still insisted that I call him Desmond. I was truly heartbroken, I mean he responded to me like he was my future 12 or 13 year old boy. I didn't know these kind of things happen at 2 years old! Someone enlighten me please. My baby is trying to assert some independence and I won't deprive him of that, but I still want to call him Desi. I am so sad about this. He straight up told me not to call him Desi. It is definitely laughable. He is one funny baby, but he knows what he wants. I don't know, I am not ready to give up Desi yet. He may have to deal with this one... What has your little one done or said to shock you? Night! Night!

Things have been so busy!!! My husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary on the 8th of this month. I was going to do a special anniversary post, but there's just not enough time in the day. I will post some pics from our special day at the end of this post. Okay, so I have not felt like talking and playing with Desi for the past few days! I cringe as I write this, but it's true. I don't want to play and when I am driving him to daycare, mommy just doesn't feel like talking. Don't get me wrong, I do talk and play with him, but is halfheartedly. I don't know. Sometimes I just want to check out for a little bit. I need a break...like a go on a weekend get away by myself and with myself. I need to do this pronto because I want to give my full attention to my little munchie. I hope he doesn't notice how unexcited I am about playing and having a conversation with him. Omg! I need some R&R. Let me see where I can go for a weekend.... To be con...

OMG!!! This video is hilarious! My son is tearing up this Bruno Mars song. Yeah, I cringed every time "your sex takes me to paradise" part came up. I wish I could have blurred that out for him, but it was funny nonetheless (please don't judge me - I've already done it). Okay, here it is: On that note...Night Night!

I have these wonderful conversations with Desi everyday when we are riding home. He gives me the low down on what he did at daycare, we talk about cars, beautiful sunny days, and anything else that we care to talk about. He knows how to worry me, but I couldn't see myself without my little back seat talker. Take a look at the vid. I had to record baby boy because he was very entertaining. Check it out: I so cherish these moments! And I am so glad that I can catch it all on video. Unfortunately, it may be used as black mail when Desi gets older and he's trying to woo the ladies! LOL! Nigh Night!

My husband's family reunion was this weekend. We had a great time and Desi enjoyed being with his cousins. We visited a few places. Here are some photos I took:  (On the "school bus" with Gi Gi and Pop Pop)  (We were pressed bc Desi was sitting with his grandparents. We had our seats to ourselves!)  (MLK)  (Prehistoric Encounter)  (In a bubble)  (Aerospace Museum - Desi loves planes!)  (Desi was definitely in his element. He loves outer space anything)  (Science project) Omg, we had so much fun! I would have posted the pics from the family reunion, but I did not get permission from anyone to post their pics. I am pretty old-fashioned when it comes to things like that. Anyway, you get it. Night Night!!!
