I have the hardest time on days when work gets the best of me and then the 2-3 precious hours I have with my kids go by so fast. Why can't the work day go as fast? Tonight I simply fell apart and that makes me mad. It makes me mad, because I am stronger than that, but at the same time as a working mom, all I really want is time with my kids. Today was a day that just didn't balance for me, we all have them, we all react to them, and we all wish they didn't happen.
Jasper is 13 months old and going strong, literally, he is strong. Strong vocal cords, grip, you name it. He is a "bruiser," shoes don't fit and clothes are getting too small, I guess it is a good thing the season is about to change. The night before last I fixed him his last bottle that had any trace of formula in it : (. My baby is 100% whole milk now. Why is it that the little things make such an impact? Jasper is a huge fan of brushing his teeth and watching The Wizard of Oz, he gets that from his sister. However, Kelly and I have decided that the movie was much more appealing when we didn't have to watch bits and pieces of it everyday. This too shall pass.
Danica has officially been enrolled in FLOWER PATCH PRESCHOOL for the 2011-2012 school year. What? Danica is old enough to got to preschool. I know, hard to believe, it was for me too. She is so excited and especially excited about going with other kids. She has thoroughly enjoyed the twice a month trips to the public library with my mom for story time and afterwards, we try to meet for lunch at the local diner. Danica is into dinosaurs, fish, planning her Summer vacation, birthday cake and her Halloween costume (right now it is the wicked witch, she wants to be spooky). Quite the smorgasbord, huh?
We have enjoyed the short break from the Winter weather and are eagerly awaiting more time outdoors!
