Mother to Boys.



♥New Milestone
posted on Tuesday, February 5, 2008.

Almost three days ago i converted The Boys bed into the toddler bed which we now call "the big boy bed". I have been putting this off for about three months now, but i just woke up the other morning and decided that it was the day, and it was. The afternoon nap time was a little hard, and the 2 hours he should have been sleeping he really slep but only maybe an hour. When night time came i decided to warn him that night night time was coming and he had to sleep in the big boy bed. We talked about it durning his bath and then watched an episode of Elmo then i reminded him again when the show was over. I put him in the bed and only had to go back once to put him back in it. He slept all night long. I am way so proud of him.




I love this kid with all my heart.



He woke up the next morning a happy baby, i mean... a happy big kid.

♥A Conversation
posted on Thursday, November 1, 2007.

this conversation took place last night in bed while The Daddy was trying to go to sleep and The Mommy was talking, obviously to herself....






The Mommy- You know, every where we go people gush over The boy and say how cute he is.








The Daddy- Uh huh






The Mommy- Is he really that cute? I mean, really? I know we think he's cute. But we dont count... all parents think their child is cute, even mothers of serial killers think there child is sweet and cute. I think its embedded in us to think the best of our offspring. you know?






The Daddy- Uh huh







The Mommy- Well i guess if everyone is saying he's cute, then he must be cute.







The Daddy- Uh huh











{{ The Daddy rolls over and The Mommy takes the cue that its time to go to sleep now}}

♥The Best Of Both Worlds
posted on Thursday, October 4, 2007.

I scan blogs like a hawk, rolling my eyes across the screen hoping to catch a new interest. A new blog that will keep me entertained for a while like a new book you cant put down. I want to wake up in the morning and run to check the latest post, not knowing whether one was made or not is like finding the toy at the end of the cereal box... i mean is it really as cool as the box describes or is it some cheap ass toy that makes us want to buy the cereal.We will never know.









Occasionally i will find a post about a mom complaining about her toddler or infant sleeping in the same bed with them, about how it is ruining their sex life and the kid is taking up the whole bed and yada yada. Well I'll be the first one to complain that my toddler will not even dare sleep with me, and i hate it. last night i tried so hard to get Vincent to sleep in the bed with me, and it ended the same way it always does with him in his crib and me in my own bed wondering why he doesn't want to sleep with me.When he was an infant he refused to sleep anywhere but on me chest. We would camp out in the living room so we didn't wake the daddy with our late night feedings. I would wake up soaked in baby drool . I miss it. Somewhere around 3-4 months Vincent decided he didn't want to sleep with me anymore and his new love would be his crib. Ever met a baby that truly loves his crib.... well meet Vincent. The crib took my place. I mean i don't want him to solely sleep with me, but.... every once in a while would be nice. I thought last night might work. I could tell he was so tired because of the way he rubs his head and eyes... so i went in the room and turned the lights off and decided we were going to go to sleep. We lay down and immediately Vincent giggles, as if to say "you gotta be kidding mom" he tries a few times to get up and i hold him tight with out saying anything to him and pretending i am asleep {the things parents will do} he gives up and lays there for about 20 minutes talking to himself and every once in a while he will looks up at me and laugh which is probably because he can tell i am pretending to be asleep and he finds a little humor in the fact that i haven't fooled him. Then he practices snapping his fingers moving on to the motions for the Itsy Bitsy Spider,then he started pointing at the fan and asking what i assume to be questions and i just layed there pretending to go to sleep for a good 45 minutes before i decided to put him in his own bed where he didn't even cry or anything, possibly falling directly asleep. I am jealous of the crib.

♥My Baby Rocks Out With His Socks Inside Out
posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2007.

Vincent is sleeping right now, thank god. He has had a long day. We were out most of the day... and he was such a good baby that when we went to Walmart i bought him this awesome toy. Its the V-Tech Story Book, he loves it, which makes me love it.











I also bought him some really awesome Cd's. What, doesn't your baby like to rock out? Mine does. Especially when its Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. These Cd's are Lullaby Renditions of different bands. They are really good. I am pretty picky when it comes to children's music, but i popped one these in the CD player and was blown away. They even redid Stairway to Heaven by Zeppelin. Nice! I think these CD's are a must for any cool parent that has a cool kid that likes to rock..... to sleep. Right now i have the Pink Floyd one and the Led Zeppelin one, and definitely plan to getting more. Vincent seems to like them too, he rode the whole way home quietly. Yay!


We also picked up a night light for Vincent. Last night he kept me up until almost 3 in the morning. Normally it isn't a problem but i had to wake up early this morning. Hopefully the night light will make him more willing to go to bed. I think he is just more aware now and doesn't like the pitch black, who would when you are that young?

I am currently waiting for Vincent to wake up... so my day can begin. Its crazy when i think of how i spent my days before Vincent, and honestly i cant even remember how i spent them, but i do know that now he is here my day revolves around him. When hes sleeping [whether its a nap or he just hasn't woke up yet to begin his day] its like my day is on pause. I mean sure i do laundry and a little house work maybe eat something or even play on the computer a while, but it just feels like i am trying to pass time until he wakes back up. Then when he does finally wake my day continues as normal. Its kinda feels like i cant wait until he goes to sleep, but then when he is asleep i cant wait until he wakes up.





























The power of the ABC's. My secret weapon. Vincent loves them. About 50% of the time i sing them over and over the whole time i am feeding him, otherwise it would take me a year to get through one feeding. I am not sure why he loves them so much. If hes crying about anything I'll start singing to him, to get his mind off of what he is upset about. I'll start off with The Itsy Bitsy Spider with the hand motions and all, and that calms him down a just a little. But the second the letter "A" falls out of my mouth he stops crying. Then the "B" and he is definitely listening to me, by the time i get to "C" he is smiling.... and the rest of the song he has completely forgot about why he was upset. He is all mine with his puffy tear filled eyes and a huge smile on his face, waiting until i get to the "next time wont you sing with me" part where he then expects me to sing it all over again starting from the beginning. He never gets tired of it. Who knew the alphabet song would be sooo darn useful.
