So H and I have this arrangement that he puts her to bed mon-fri and I do sat & sun.. Well I switched nights with him because I won't be home tomorrow night. After we read our book(s), I stand by her crib, holding her like a baby and rocking her, and I sing "you are my sunshine.." to her. She doesn't fuss or wiggle, she just stares into my eyes as I sing and God it does things to my heart. I'm tearing up just writing this.. Someday she'll be too big for me to hold like that but for now I soak it in

taketheshot, I'm tearing up reading that. My H is going to think I'm crazy. armpants, technically, yes. It's five bedrooms! The best part? Grandma and grandpa will be there (and are paying for the house) so H and I hope to have lots of kid free time

Well apparently the sweet potatoes needed to soak at least 4 hours. So we ordered in. We'll have that tomorrow! Burgers also sounds delicious CestLaVie! Why? To get rid of some of the starch?

taketheshot and coconutbacon- all the feels... I sing a song from Bye Bye Birdie, but change some of the words. I also sing a song I made up to her. She climbs onto me and crawls into my arms and says "baby" so that I can hold her like a baby and sing to her. There will be a day that we do that for the last time and I won't know it... it's going to break my heart when we stop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slow day? redandblue, i hate underwhelming hairdids. Hugs. kindve a shitty day here, had to drop off car to be inspected, so I had Dd drop me off for work BBQ, food was good, ate too much, and spent the whole 3 hours chasing N around in circles, plus none of my favorite coworkers were there, so it was all "oh he's soooo cute" and no good gossip.

I'm having one of those weeks where I'm a little overwhelmed and need some kid free time. I was really hoping DD1 would watch A for us tonight, but not looking like that'll happen. I'm just freaking exhausted and the fact that I fall asleep when A falls asleep most night, means that I really don't get any kid free time. I need adult conversation and it's making me sad that I don't get that. Sorry- super freaking emotional right now and I'm guessing it's hormones.

I'm putting Hazel to bed. DH fell asleep an hour ago.. he's only gotten 3-5 hrs sleep/night all week. So I gave Hazel some food, her first time to actually sit in the highchair and eat a variety of things since I've been waiting for her to sit up better before BLW. She ate as much as she could (what didn't fall in her lap on the way to her mouth). She's also trying hard to crawl and is pretty mobile by rolling all over the place. I swear yesterday she was a newborn.

We just said goodbye to our neighbors who are moving. A plays with their little boy almost every day in the evening. She looks forward to it and asks if we can see him when I pick her up from daycare. I'm not looking forward to having to explain over and over that he lives far away now. How do you explain that concept to a not quite 2 year old?

amberlie how is she big enough to be trying to crawl. Growing so fast! Oh by the way, has YH coworker's girlfriend been cured of cancer yet?

taketheshot and coconutbacon, that's our song too! So sweet. A doesn't let me hold her like a baby, but she loves for me to sing it to her (I change the lyrics at the end to her name, since her middle name means sun).

I feel that way pretty often. I find myself staying up way too late so that I can be kid-free. I stay up until 1-2 studying or whatever just to not have someone on me or yelling at me or destroying something. I hope you get some kid-free time soon.

amberlie how is she big enough to be trying to crawl. Growing so fast! Oh by the way, has YH coworker's girlfriend been cured of cancer yet? I know! It's even crazier bc E didn't crawl until almost 10m. Didn't even try until 9m. DH's coworker - his girlfriend "moved back to New York" because "cancer treatment is cheaper there" so she is gone.

We are trying to get S1 and S2 to share a room again. I told H we should just put S1 in our room and move him later. H has decided we should wait until E is asleep them move S1. Its currently 9pm and S1 hasn't gone to bed and E is still making noise. I'm annoyed. I don't want my kids awake this late. Just put Isaac in our room and be done with it.
