Tyrone went back to work today. This is very exciting because that means Casino Road Ministries is up and running for the new school year. So for the next 9 months, Tyrone will be heading to work about 2pm on Monday and Wednesday and 11am on Tuesday and Thursday.
I still have 5 weeks of maternity leave left to figure out how this will work when I go back to work.
So on to today's adventure...
150p Changed Charlotte's diaper, she promptly peed on everything. Impromptu bath from the waist down followed by new clothes.
2p Tyrone leaves for work and Samuel starts building tunnels and bridges with his legos
205p Charlotte decides she's hungry
208p Samuel tells me he needs to go potty. We haven't officially started potty training but when he asks to sit on the potty we let him. So I set Charlotte on the floor outside the bathroom and wait...
210p Samuel's 'All Done Mommy' The next 5min was spent with him asking for his pants back and then saying 'All Done' when I gave them to him.
215p - 3pm Samuel and Mommy play legos. We built a Cabin and two Garages. Me-Maw shows up at 250p, Samuel starts destroying the lego buildings. Must be time for a nap
3pm -330p Samuel must be 2 or else why would he be throwing stuff everywhere and throwing his body on the floor.
330p Aggression is all worked out and Samuel is happily snoozing in his bed.
Spent the next two hours have a good talk with my mom. Charlotte spent the time sleeping on me and Me-Maw.
530p Time to start cooking dinner, Macaroni and Hot Dogs.
545p Samuel is up from his nap and sees the mac and cheese cooking. He decides he wants to eat NOW! I try and distract him with Train videos on YouTube. He starts crying and saying 'All Done Trains.'
The next 20min I played cooking show to keep him entertained while wearing Charlotte in the Moby. Charlotte and I are still working on our babywearing groove. She won't keep her head against my chest, so she got a little baby whiplash.
615p Dinner Time! Samuel eats a whole plate of mac and cheese. Charlotte decides she wants dinner too. Samuel wants 2nds but Charlotte is still eating. I'm still not sure how to balance the needs of a toddler and a very hungry baby.
630p Charlotte is still eating and Samuel starts saying 'put away,' over and over again. I ask him what he wants me to put away and he says 'Charlotte's food source' (granted he used another word.)
640p Samuel now doesn't want 2nds or chex even though he keeps asking for them. The 'All Done' game is about to push mommy over the edge. Why do toddlers whine? Also I'm glad he doesn't say NO, but 'All Done' is starting to get on mommy's nerves.
7-730p Dinner is over and we are back to playing blocks. All is well until Charlotte is hungry again. Samuel doesn't like this and slaps her. I need to play defense faster.
730-8p Samuel starts throwing blocks and I contemplate calling my dad for reinforcements.
8pm Now wishing I'd called my dad. Tyrone should be home in 30min. Samuel is having a full blown meltdown. Toys are being thrown, he's hitting and then somehow managed to land on Charlotte. She's fine and went right back to sleep. Samuel is enjoying time out in his room.
830p Why isn't Tyrone home yet?
9pm Tyrone is home, Samuel's in bed, Charlotte is eating again, and Mommy is thinking about ice cream.
To recap: Not much was accomplished today. I did one load of laundry and made dinner, I also kept my two kids from hurting each other too bad...
Hopefully tomorrow will be better...
