Yes I did

Let my little man wear the same shirt two days in a row.

Yesterday at the play date we went to.

Today playing in our play room.


Just one less thing to fight over today. Today WILL be a good day.

Wordless Wednesdays

One down

I knitted my first baby hat to give away yesterday. Since there are 10 lady's that I know right now that are going to be having baby's or had a baby in the past week I decided they all need knitted hats. It is also a big money saver since it is a little tight right now. So this is just the first of many.

I knitted it with 100% cotton yarn so that it would be nice and soft along with washable. I got the pattern here and played with it a little to make it my own. I has some flaws but it should still be warm along with stylish.
When I finished the hat yesterday I had to run over and give it to her to see if it fit (well I guess I walked, they only live a few blocks away). It looked so cute on her head, still a little big but she will grow into it.
Hopefully soon I will post a picture of her wearing it.
Well I guess I need to get knitting, nine more to go.

Adventures with Elmo

Almost since the little man has been sleeping in his big boy bed he has had a bed mate. No not me but a big 3 foot stuffed Elmo.



A few days ago he came running down the hall at 7am holding his Elmo.
What are you doing honey?
No, no melmo.
You dont want Elmo any more in your bed?
Pointing to the playroom and saying No, no melmo again, we placed him on the couch.
The little man and I went back to his room. He nursed for a little while and than was ready to lay back down. As soon as I put him back in his bed he asked
Where melmo?
Do you want Elmo in your bed?
Ya with a big nod and smile on his face.
I went and got him and the was back off to sleep.

A few of the many thing that I do for the little man. This is just my life.

Wordless Wednesdays

I just love the lip. I call this his Johnny Cash jr. video.

Not me Mondays on Tuesday

Well it is Tuesday already. Where did Monday go?

Yesterday I did not neglect my kid so that I could clean my house. I did not get the kitchen, living room, family room, the little mans room and the toilet clean but I still did not find time to vacuum or sweep.
I did not put the little mans boots on the wrong feet. He was not putting them on all by his self when I just had to but in and tell him what to do. I thought he was putting them on the wrong feet but I was the one who was turned around. My toddler is smarted than I am!!
I did not go to the store at 7pm just to buy ice cream, to eat while watching House, and came home with a whole shopping bag full of food.
Well and than today I did not go down to my parents house to watch history in the making in a dirty sweatshirt, with out a shower, deodorant, or even combing my hair.
History does not care what I look like and neither do I.

What a weekend

Friday afternoon I got a phone call from my mom who told me that my brother was at her house. Not my brother that lives down the street but my brother that lives in the wilderness of Northern Washington. The one that I have not seen in years.
This was the first time the little man got to meet his Uncle Doug (I was very surprised that before the night was over he was able to call him by name). We got to sit and catch up a little and he taught the little man how to do a google search.


googleing (yes thats my brother not a Geico cave man)

It was so nice to see him we stayed there till 9:30pm. Hopefully it wont be another two years before we see him again.
Saturday the little man helped me make our first carrot cake.



He enjoyed playing in the shredded carrots and stirring it 'round' and 'round'.

Our plans were to go out to dinner with some friends to harbor lights but they both got sick so we had a change of plans. So we invited the hubby's family. It was a very enjoyable dinner. I had great fish and chips and the hubby had what he says was the best steak he ever had, we both ended up with horrible heart burn, but it was worth it.
Sunday we had an EC play date. I am a member of a diaper free baby yahoo group. It was nice to get to meet some other moms and kids who have gone down the same road we are on. Before today I had only meet two other moms and one on blogger who have or are ECing their children. Hopefully we will be able to make it to some more get togethers soon.


Out after a long weekend

I hope that everyone else had a great weekend.
