"I got sad"

It was the cutest thing tonight. We got home and had a lot of stuff to bring in from the car. I walked down to the mailbox while Asher and Sandy went to the house. Asher was standing at the door waiting for me to come in. I stopped as the car to grab the last of the stuff and Asher couldn't see me because I was behind the neighbors Suburban. He started yelling, "Dad! Dad! Dad!" It took me a minute to get everything and he was starting to cry a bit. I yelled back that I was coming, but that didn't calm him any. Once I got the car locked up and walked back out where he could see me, he calmed down. I told him I was coming and he smiled and said, "I got sad." It was so cute. He was sad that he couldn't see dad and he told me about it. He has been starting to talk more and more. I'm afraid that he's going to be a little chatterbox when he actually learns to talk. That will be fun.

I got no sleep, but I did it to myself

Last night, I stayed up until just after 1:00 am. I was posting on my other blog and lost track of time. It doesn't help that my alarm goes off at 4:45 am. I am so tired. But not as tired as Sandy. She is worried about this next Spanish test, so she studies at night. She got done studying about 10 minutes before my alarm went off. Bubs went to sleep much earlier than that. The sad thing is, we both know better than to do that. Oh well, at least it's the weekend.

Great Big Hugs

I am sure every parent experiences it often. I left for work today and bubs was already awake in his bed. I went in and picked him up so he could go in and lay in bed with mom. It was so cute, he turned, pointed and said "pillow". Except it came out more like "prirrowr". So we grabed his pillow and laid him in bed. When he saw I was leaving, he started to cry. I asked if he wanted another hug. He said "Da," his version of yes. He gave me the biggest hug and wouldn't let go. It was so sweet. I didn't want to leave this morning. He does a similar thing when mommy goes to work.

He wants both of us there all the time. Who ever said that a child didn't need both a mom and a dad. Mine sure does. I love him!!!.....and his mommy!!!

You can lead a horse to water (or the bed in this case).......

So the ongoing saga of the bed. I wish I had my camera when I went in to check on bubs this morning. He slept in it again, but he refuses to sleep normally. He was all the way down at the bottom of the bed sleeping sideways and was shivering because he was cold. He won't sleep with the covers on. So I put a blanket over him and he seems to warm up a bit. I try not to move or touch him because I don't want him to wake up. He doesn't like daddy to go to work in the mornings, and I leave before him and Sandy get up.

We gave him chocolate milk for the first time last night. I diluted it with a little regular milk so the poor boy wouldn't go into sugar shock. He loved it. He savored it and didn't drink it too fast, but the cup never left his hands. I also introduced Sandy to The Pie. Well, she had had it once before, but never a really good one. She loved it and the garlic cheese bread. I dare you to eat more than one slice of that pizza. It fills you up.

We got sleep!!!!

He slept most of the night in his new bed and was there when I left for work this morning. YEAH!!!! I swear I am getting busier. My lesson studio has doubled in the last 2 months. I think over have my students have been taking from me less than 6 months. It is wild. I am so grateful.

I am also making headway with work. It was in such a mess when I got to my new position. I think we are getting things organized now. I do like my new position, the people are great and it has been a great working environment.

Yesterday, Asher and I had some time to rest in the afternoon. He wanted to play for much of it, but he slept as well. When he woke up from his nap, he gave me a little smile. Then he looked like he was about to cry. I asked him if he wanted some love and he said, "Ya." He then crawled over to me and wanted me to hold him for the next hour. So I did. I have been trying to make sure he comes first. Sometimes that is so hard when you have so much to do, but that is the way it is suposed to be.
