Adventures in Babysitting....

Tonight, we had our new little friend over to get to know us before he is dropped off tomorrow. I like to think Josh just had a strong interest in this kid's head, but the way he kept smacking it makes me wonder.

Toy sharing and refereeing. The little boy goes right down to sleep...2 hour naps twice a day. Our new friend is going to show us how its done. Josh...its boot camp time.

Night 8 of no sleep. Tylenol was already admistered tonight before our walk. Getting ready to put him down now.

For my mother, Leo also saw the big one coming in in the back of his mouth. lol...

So....Leo came home from his stint away wanting us to go out to eat...that explains my dinner.

Baby Boy turning 10 months old...

Tomorrow is double digits. Ten months old. When I was ten months old my mother was entering her third trimester.

We were at a playdate today. A ten month old was walking all over the place. When others were crawling a few weeks ago, I pushed Josh to crawl. I guess because that's what babies do...crawl. But walking? Once he walks, in that second he goes from baby to big boy.

Another mom of a 4 month old was there. She had to leave early since she was nursing. She was shocked that I still nurse and I am able to go to all these events. She wants to know when it gets easier. I told her the 3 month mark then the 8 month mark. Honestly, I wanted to tell her its when you come to terms with the fact that this is your job and chore. Go sit in your car for 20 minutes and come back to hang with us. By going home you are only making yourself a prisoner. But I didn't, I said nice meeting you...see you soon.

10 months breastfeeding. 10 months breastfeeding this allergy baby. 10 months of wearing breast pads daily. 10 months of having sex while lactating. 10 months of extreme thirst. How can these be the fastest 10 months that have ever gone by...but at the same time the longest ten months ever?????

When I die....

I am coming back as your child. No one has it better then that baby of yours.

That's what my 70-something year old neighbor told me yesterday. Tucky Lee. Until yesterday, she was just Tucky. She said she always wanted to be Tucky Lee, she realizes its a little late in the game, but if I could call her that she would love it.

For a compliment like that Tucky Lee, I shall refer to you as your majesty.

Zumba Fever

We to my first Zumba class this morning...what a great time. To be in a dance class is such a great feeling. I have always loved dancing, but as life takes over...it seems longer and longer since the last time I really let it go.

Organized routines, spots for freestyle, dance wars and challanges...all while burning 700 calories an hour. Totally stomach concentration, great since that is where I need it the most.

So, I will continue to walk in the mornings and go to the gym...but 2 days a week, hopeful its the jumpstart that I need.

Classes are all over the world...most intro classes are 1/2 price. Call and see if you can try it out, they might give it to you for free.

19 Minutes....

So I read it and loved it, wasn't going to write about it until my sisters had a chance to read it. Since irene is in school, I will mail to Karen, she can return to NY where Irene can then read it.

School shootings...as a mom, I should have ended the book concerned about my child's safety and well being, instead, I felt such an ache for all those who were teased and harassed in school.

I don't really believe in hitting as a form of disapline, but Josh will get the smack down for harassing behavior. Bra snapping, bullying...I would rather him cheat on tests then to pick on someone.
