Nothing Day

Today was a nothing day.  I didn't plan anything, go anywhere or do anything.  Well maybe I did something.  I woke up and waited for my boys to get up so we could eat breakfast.  At breakfast we watched 'The Price is Right.'  Then Tyrone left for work and Samuel and got on with our day.

We played with Samuel's toys and read some books.  Later I got out a bed sheet and shook it to make it bubble up.  Samuel laughed historically and kept running under it.  This lasted about 15 minutes before my arms got tired and Samuel started to get tired.

Then it was time to workout.  I workout using my Wii and Samuel loves to copy my moves.  He can do windmills, lunges, heel lifts, pushups and hip circles.  Half way though my workout he got bored so it was time for snack.  How come toddlers can eat so fast sometimes and so slow other times?  Today it took him half an hour to eat half an apple.  After his snack he went down for his 'nap-nap.'  So right now he's sleeping and I'm thinking I should start being productive.

I know I have a load of laundry to fold, the dishwasher to empty, and a living room to tidy up.  Almost forgot I have to figure out what to cook for dinner.  I'm thinking something with Broccoli, since I got a bunch in my organic farm delivery yesterday.

I guess it wasn't a nothing day, just a slow starting one.

    He can do pushups, really? I have got to see this. Can you have Tyrone videotape Samuel doing pushups and send it to me? Please!!!

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference.

Family Movie Night

Last night we had our 1st Family Movie Night.  Samuel can almost sit still for about 30 minutes at a time, so I figured he was ready.  We borrowed Cars from my dad and finally got to watch a Blu-Ray movie in our new Blu-Ray player.  Cars seemed like Samuel's speed, he loves Thomas and Friends and cars with faces can't be that much different than trains with faces. Family Movie Night was like embarking on a new adventure, could 3 people with very different tastes and attention spans enjoy the same movie?  Turns out we can for about 30 minutes. At 8:30pm dressed in our PJs we all climbed in to bed and started Cars.  Samuel was so cute sitting between Mommy and Daddy.  He was watched very intently as the cars raced around the track in the opening credits, he identified the helicopter as an airplane and watched for other things he could name.  He tapped his hands to the music and wanted water just like mommy and daddy had.  This family bliss laste...

3 Weeks Yesterday...

As of today I have been the mom to two kids for 3 weeks and 1 day. Wow!  There was a point in time where I thought I'd never have kids.  After we got married we still thought we wouldn't have kids.  After a year and a half of blissful married life, we had a miscarriage.  This got us thinking, maybe one kid would be kinda fun.  Samuel was born two months after our 3rd anniversary. Samuel was so much fun.  A cute little person to hold and love, to explore the world through his eyes.  He fit right into our life.  He was almost too relaxed.  Samuel wasn't big on eating so he slept alot and didn't gain much weight at first.  Once we got the weight gain on the right track he was still an awesome sleeper.  He started sleeping through the night at 2 months.  He almost never cried and was happiest playing on the floor. After Samuel turned one, we thought we had this parenting thing figured out, so why not try for another...
