Minus One

My house is a wreck! That might even be an understatement! Luckily my mom came to the rescue, taking McKinley to her house for a sleepover and keeping her all day tomorrow for me to get some stuff done! So tonight, we had one child! Halfway through dinner Todd and I looked at each other and wondered, "Who is this child and where did Wyatt go?" He was SO well behaved. Sweet, lovable, quiet at dinner, I was amazed.

Wyatt normally isn't bad when we go out but as a two year old it's safe to say he has his moments (sometimes many of them!). I have noticed lately that Wyatt and McKinley both push each other’s buttons. He just can't leave her alone and she likes his toys. He just loves her a little too much. I think that every now and then it is nice for Wyatt to just have a chance to have our undivided attention. I think it will be the same for McKinley too when she gets a little older. We had such a great night with our sweet little man.

I can tell that Wyatt needs time without his sitter by the way he answers this question: "Wyatt, can McKinley go to Ms. Celeste's house and play with you?" (Celeste is the lady that keeps him one day a week at her house, along with a few other children- we LOVE her). Wyatt answers back, "NO! She is to little!" Every time I ask him he answers the same way, he doesn't want her to go with him, because that is his time to play without her there! We will defiantly have to make time for special one and one time with each of our children.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
