To start the day off...

Sleeping in the big boy bed gives a lot of freedom to an almost-2-year-old. He can wake up in the middle of the night and climb in to bed with mom and dad. He can quietly play with his toys as long as he doesn't wake anyone up in the process. He can find a crayon and color all over his mirror. He can do (and has done) all of these wonderful things.

Today he found something new to do!

I was falling back asleep after feeding Lukie around 6 this morning, when I hear the "creeeeek" of his bedroom door. I wait for him to come in to our room, which is what he normally does when he wakes up in the morning. Instead of the sound of our bedroom door opening, I hear a louder "CREEEEK" .  I fly out of bed thinking he had gotten in to the dishwasher, which I had not unloaded yet from the night before. All I can think of is stopping him from getting to the huge knife sitting in there.

As I get to the kitchen, I am relieved to see that he is not in the dishwasher. Instead, I see our back door closing. The one that leads upstairs to our friend's house, and downstairs in to the basement. (It doesn't lock from the inside.) I run out and pull him back in. He is barely awake, but is holding his new computer toy he got for his Birthday. I guess he was planning on going upstairs to show his friend his new toy. Why he had to do this at 6am, is beyond me, but he sure got my adrenaline going early this morning!!

Who's your Daddy?

Reading books with Anthony is always fun. He is becoming so hilarious. When we get to certain pictures he points and yells "Daddy" over and over again.  First, here is an actual picture of my husband: (that's me in there too) This is Daddy #1. Yup, It's Ramses from "The Prince of Egypt." I can see the resemblance! If Ian had hair, he would certainly wear it in a ponytail with gold embellishments. The medallion around his neck is something he would wear too.  And he is always shirtless, especially when in a grueling horse race! This Daddy could beat up your daddy any day! Here is Daddy #2, from "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" This must be a different side of Daddy than Ramses portrays. This Daddy is pensive, with kind eyes. He is daydreaming about something wonderful (probably mommy) and always has something nice to say. I think this one looks a lot more like my husband! So because when we get to the end of this "Brown Bea...

Dinner time???

So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened: "Where are you?"  "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about." "What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!" "Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now."  "Ugh , well now dinner is cold"  "You guys can eat without me if you want"  "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!" "Ok, so what do you want to do?" "What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!" *I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.*  "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR...

I never thought I'd ever...

Me and Ian were talking about how much lives have changed since we had kids. Not only the way we spend our time together as a family, but also our mentalities. For example, I was talking to a friend of mine who either just got a tattoo or was thinking about getting another, or both. I can't remember. Anyway, I have been wanting to get a tattoo, so I asked her how much she thought a small one would cost. She said "oh, not that much! Maybe 60 bucks?" I immediately said "Oh, well that's 3 boxes of diapers, which is too much".  I realized then, that I convert the cost of pretty much everything to the amount of diapers I could get for the same price. haha! I never thought the biggest commodity in my life would be a jumbo box of Target brand diapers, or that this exchange rate would help curb my appetite for things that I want, but don't need to buy. An example would be a Nintendo Wii. I have wanted one for a couple of years now. But it costs like10 boxes ...
