Well I know it has been a while and I wish I could say that I haven't written because our computer was down, but to be honest I just haven't had many free moments. But things are going great and I am really having a wonderful time being home with all the boys. They make me so happy.
I was telling a friend tonight how much I enjoy being in shorts and a t-shirt all day with my flip flops on, hanging out with my neighbors and their kids, eating popsicles on the front porch while SE and his buddies run through the sprinkler........mixed in with 15 bottles, 30 diaper changes, 9 jars of baby food, several naps, mostly theirs, maybe one for me every once in a while........
What a usual day for us is really like...JW is usually the first up he takes his own bottle now and will usually eat around 6:30, RO is up right behind him and he enjoys having his bottle in my lap. RE is my late sleeper usually up around 7:00 or 7:30. Everyone then plays on the floor or in the exersaucers until around 9:00 when they have breakfast, they love applesauce and bananas and don't like prunes. who does....then it is time to play then a long nap. Meanwhile SE is up wanting cold pancakes and juice. I convince him they are better warm and then he wants to know if he can watch CARS or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory( the original). We instead go outside or he does because someone has woken up early at this point. The plan changes as it usually does and before we know it is time for lunch more rolling around on the floor or wrestling, learning to sit up and some scooting. Time for another nap, at this point I try to convince SE to take a nap. If I am lucky I get a chance to rest too. Then an afternoon snack for everyone and if is a pretty day everyone goes in the stroller and we head out to play with th other kids. RE, RO and JW like the stroller right now and we will stay out there until dinner, this is when the popsicles and sprinklers come into play. Dinner, baths,bottles and the three are off to bed around 7:00. Dinner for SE several stories later then bedtime for him. Then maybe if I am not too tired dinner ..... I have had all the cereals out there if anyone is interested.
Time to fall into bed....and say a prayer of thanks.
