The Daycare drop off

The other day I dropped Parker off at school.  The drop off didn’t go very well…..he cried when I was about to leave and held onto me.  The teacher had to come over and get him so I could leave.  Those kind of drop offs are ohhh so hard, even though I know the minute I leave he is perfectly fine.  But all us moms know how hard it can be……..

When I picked Parker up from school, I asked him:

“why did you cry when I left this morning”

Parker said -

“mom, it sucks when you leave”

I think that pretty much summed it up.   I didn’t even say anything about the “bad word” because sometimes in life using “bad words” may be the only way to describe something.

Love you buddy.

Jumpy Jumps

My son has finally overcome his fear of Jumpy Jumps!   He just decided on Sunday that he was not scared anymore and went on every single jumpy jump, including the big slide :)   He didn’t even acknowledge me anymore after his fear was gone….he used to have to have me by his side the entire time (and didn’t want me to go on anything either).   Bring on the Pump it Up parties!!!  We are very proud of you Parker.

More Milk

My little one came up to me this morning, handed me his bottle and said “more milk”…as I was taking the bottle from him, I started to correct him “more milk ples…..” wait…did my little guy just say his first sentence!!  Yes, he did!  Jon came up to me this morning, handed me his bottle and said “more milk”.  Yeah!

He is started to say more and more words. Yesterday he pointed to a piece of dust..I said “dust”. He then repeated me.  He also said eyes the other day.  He will be 20 months on March 19th and the days/weeks/months are flying by.  I just love him and want to savor these days.

Running

I woke up at 5:30 AM this morning to go on a 4 mile run.  I have to tell you I love running in the morning now.  I love my time in the morning when it’s still dark and the kids are sleeping (no mommy guilt, no thinking “I should be with my kids right now”).  I love looking at the stars and trying to find constellations.  It is just so peaceful.  And I love feeling good the rest of the day because running just does that to me…it just makes me feel good.

Of course, I couldn’t have these times, if it wasn’t for my wonderful husband, who is there for the kids, just in case!  Love  you.
