One of THOSE days.

We left the comfort of my room at 7:26, it is now 8:53 and the Monkey just came out of his SECOND time out... I love these kind of days...

Today I became a SPY

I really didn't think I would become one of "those" moms ever, or at least until they were 14 or 15 and started having boyfriends or girlfriends. But yet again, I was wrong. Today I found myself crouched at the end of our king size bed spying on my 6 month old daughter!

This afternoon Chubby Bunny fell asleep on my bed after a feeding session. (yes I know there are multiple things wrong with it; don't judge me!) I decided since I needed to get Grandpa's Birthday dinner ready I would leave her there since she sleeps for hours at a time in our bed and literally half an hour naps in her own. I set up the monitor in our room and I went downstairs. Well at most 35 minutes later I hear her. Since she is getting more and more mobile everyday I went up to make sure all was well. I could tell by her rubbing her face in the bed she was still sleepy, so I crouched down and spied on her for at least 5 minutes, if she had seen me there wouldn't have been a chance in hell she would go back to sleep!

Really I can justify it (spying) in the name of safety, but spying is spying and I just had to laugh at myself. It was comical.  An almost 30 year old hiding from sight of a 6 month old... Oh the low... Hee hee heeee!

The really sad part is, she didn't go back to sleep... 

So after everyone (except me) had a nap, long & short, Monkey had a snack. Today because Baby Sister was eating apple sauce, he had to have some. So they had a snack together. It was cute. He even fed her. Which he is surprisingly gentle and good at!

I realize this bouncy chair situation looks dangerous too, so I won't get the mom of the year award. I'm OK with that!

 

Then for Grandpa's gift we did some painting. Monkey LOOOOVES painting. So i set up shop outside since it was beautiful. Monkey said it was too bright, so he asked for sunglasses. I couldn't find the real ones...

 

 A wonderful Aunty of his showed him that real art is messy art. We can't ever get away with painting without at least 4 hand prints now. Thanks Aunty, you know who you are! I love the prints, hate the mess.

Mostly I posted this pic because it's fricken cute...

And to complain that Grandpa forgot to bring his AMAZING camera tonight, which by the way he is now calling "Sandi's Camera" because he knows who should really own it! I wish... Just look at the difference in quality between the upper pic's and this... I wish.... 

Side note: I will likely, if I ever find some extra time, be taking out the kids names off here. I have dreams (more like delusions! ;) of this one day being read by many and realized how much information could be used off this. So when it happens, it will be only Monkey and Chubby Bunny. 

Toilet humour from a newly trained Luca

So the boy & his daddy were upstairs this morning in the bathroom, and this is what I heard.
Luca- *hilarious laughter* That tickled!!
Daddy- What tickled? *hahaha*
Luca - "My poo tickled!!*laughter*
daddy- "your poo tickled?!" *laughter*
Luca- "my splashed my bum!"
daddy- *hilarious side splitting laughter"
--
need I explain? Mannnnn did I laugh when I heard this!

Is it mean?

Since my boy learned to talk I have taught him that a bra is called an "over the shoulder boulder holder" 

Now when he sees mine he says something along the lines of "shoulder bolder bolder solder"

 AND.... I am 99% sure that I will make sure he is still calling them that until he hits puberty? Aren't I the worst mother in the world?
Bwahhaahahaha!!!

A productive family day.

What a wonderful Saturday we had. Alex is a Karate instructor at a Dojo he has been with since he was 7, they had their kids Saturday class outside yesterday at a park. His Sensei suggested Alex bring Luca along as it had been so long since he had seen the little monkey. Well since the plan of getting the Chubby Bunnies ears pierced went down the toilet, more on that in a bit, I decided we should join them. So after a frenzied rush to get out of the house and all the traffic we still got there 15 min late. Luca is too little to join the big kids but he watched and played his own version of the games on the sidelines with Daddy and Sensei. He learned how to do push ups.

Yes, that picture is his version of a push up! Love the way that kid thinks, too bad Sensei wouldn't allow those in class. 

After all the games it was lunch, BBQ hot dogs. (not a meal I would normally choose, i would prefer anything but that, really)  Right before the dogs, he had a banana, a blue berry muffin, and then a hot dog!   I am seriously worried we are going to have to take out a second mortgage on our house when this kid hits puberty! He will eat us right out of a place to live! It was cute to see him line up with the 25 or so other kids and wait his turn. When he got back to me on the blanket he said "I got hot daaawg for myself, from my Mark" That's his new thing. People are his. 

My Daddy, My baby sister, My Mark (sensei) My Jonah. Its cute. I can't help but laugh!

Annasofia and I had a great time watching and playing and she thoroughly enjoys chewing her tongue and sticking out her tongue.

It's a bummer something productive had to come out of such a nice family filled morning. We got home and went to work on the house. It was GROSS. I begged my dad to come and play with Luca so we could clean. Then after he was there I handed Annasofia to him to go put away some laundry and didn't come back downstairs for an hour! Oops. Normally my dad isn't big on holding babies. But he's getting better now that she is bigger and smiles at him. Pretty sure he is wrapped around her pinky finger now, as well as Luca's. Though when I asked if he would pay for her ear piercing he said hell no. That was more of a unnecessary torture reason though. So I really wanted those lobes full of bling, and Aunty did too, and since I am a wuss and didn't want to hurt her unnecessarily I made Aunty do some phoning and question asking. Turns out Health Canada is trying to ban the piercing gun because of the spread of Hep C, due to the inability to sterilize the entire gun. Scary eh? So needless to say those cute baby lobes will be bling-less and we will have to find some adorable hair clips that stay in minimal amounts of hair, and head bands with HUGE bows on them, until she is old enough to be pierced with a needle. 

Like this! Too bad they are too small now..

Oh, and my dad took his camera back before I had the chance to take a bazillion amazing photos... ARG!

Little Buddies.

I love watching Luca play with his little buddies. He used to be painfully shy in a new situation, now he is coming out of his shell. 

When he plays with other kids I see his kind heart. He never wants to start fights, he just gives up the toy willingly, instead of the usual kid tantrum that happens when one snatches something away from the other. At first I thought it was awful that he let other little ones stomp all over his fun, that he was afraid. Now I see he just wants everybody to get along. He's a lover, not a fighter. However, with his momma, he'll fight willingly. 

We had an amazing Friday. Spent with an amazing friend and her boy & 6 week old girl. I can't wait to have copies of the pictures she took. Very funny Annasofia eating her chicken. Though I thought i did a great job, she is not a fan, and it got caught by the camera!
