We have now officially entered the life of time outs. Adam has been really testing his independence lately. He’s so much like his father that it is truly scary. He is so sweet and kind, but he also loves to throw. I think he’s going to be a pitcher! It’s not necessarily out of anger or being mean, he just would rather throw than hand something to you. So, we have been working on politely handing things, telling him no throwing, and now that we spoke with the sitter, we’ve implemented time out. He has to sit by us, we talk to him about why, and he cannot get up til we tell him it is ok. Today he had no time outs at the sitter. He’s climbing on everything. Sofa, tables, chairs….he climbs, we get him down, he climbs again. He now knows where his eyes, nose, hair, and ears are. He won’t point them out every time, but he knows. When I picked him up today he pointed at my nose and said nose! Awesome!!!! Just out of the blew. He’s never said it before. He can now reach the magnetic letters we’ve had on the fridge and he can’t walk right under the table now. It’s like he grew an inch overnight for this to happen.
We went to my cousins baby shower on Saturday. Of course, my basket was a hit! It was a family reunion of sorts and they haven’t changed a bit. It was so sad to look across the street and see where my daddy lived, the house I ran around when I visited, the porch I occasionally fell off of. I sat there trying to remember the layout of the small house. I try to remember daddy’s voice and I can’t hear it anymore. I wish I could, but somehow it’s just gone now. I’ve been missing him so much lately.
I will be officially 4 months pregnant on Saturday! 4 months already! I’m showing so differently than with Adam. With him I was pretty much in the front, with this one I’ve developed this nice inner tube around my middle. NICE! On Monday I go in for 3 appts- a physical, my diabetes care, and perinatologist. I’m sure my endo will adjust my insulin as my numbers have been increasing slightly, mainly in the evenings.
I’ve taken care of a few items on my to do list. Dental Appt- Check Organize Craft Station- Check Begin gathering items for sale- Check Pretty darn good if I must say so myself. We bought a new stroller for the trip. Finally after a month long search! Bought our trip luggage too. I’ve begun making my list too. Never to early to start! Of course, after today’s earthquake I’ve begun to ponder the thought of what happens if we are there and one happens? I know I have no control, and if it were just a small one and just me I think it would be kinda neat to experience ( like I said- a small one!), but with the boys there I just think I would be so frightened for their sake. Of course, Adam would probably just smile and laugh. Kids are so funny that way!
