What a gorgeous day!
I didn't get my walk this morning but it was still a good day. I'm starting to get the hang of this mother of two thing. I just need one of them to be sleeping while the other is awake, but this means that Charlotte has to sleep the whole time.
The day started with breakfast for everyone, except me. Mommy took a shower instead, and it was totally worth it. I did find some coffee followed by a load of laundry.
Lunch for Samuel meant breakfast for Mommy. After 'Brunch' we shared a green smoothie and Me-Maw came over. She brought our box of organic fruits and veggies. It was full of yummy stuff for more smoothies and Potato Leek soup for dinner. This made dinner plans easy, no stressing over what should I fix.
After Me-Maw left, Charlotte was hungry. While I feed Charlotte, Samuel and I played with his alphabet flashcards. He loves his flashcards, but he keeps asking me what sound things make that don't make sounds. After awhile everything sounded like toddler giggles.
The next time I feed Charlotte, Samuel brought me a doll. Not just any doll my Cabbage Patch doll, he calls her his baby. He wanted me to change his baby's diaper, she had pee-peed. So we headed to Samuel's room and he put Baby on his changing table and I changed her diaper. We picked out one of Charlotte's shirts for her to wear too.
This got me excited maybe he was finally getting that a baby is fun and he can be gentle. I gave him a blanket to wrap the baby in and he put the baby in his bed for nap time. He took care of his baby off and on all afternoon. Tonight he wrapped the baby up and put her to bed.
So all was going well today. I remembered to eat, did two loads of laundry, washed my veggies, planned dinner, feed two kids, and maintained some order, that is until 3pm. Samuel used to take a nap from 2ish till 5ish. Naptime is over and I'm sad.
At 3pm he starts to get cranky but he won't nap and if he does, he won't fall asleep until midnight. I'm in the catch-22 of naps, he needs them but they don't do any good. We've tried quiet time but he thinks it's time-out. We've tried laying on his floor so he knows it's a good thing. Nothing works.
So I turned on Toy Story 3, and today he actually zoned while watching it. He never zones, he usually plays toys or runs around. I'm kinda sad but relieved about the zoning. Now I have something that will calm him down for a bit.
By the time Tyrone came home at 530p I was exhausted. Charlotte and I went to take a nap. Samuel was still going strong, does this kid ever get tired.
Tomorrow is another day and maybe I'll remember to eat breakfast.
