Swimming in January...who gave him that idea?
So this morning as I was listening to the radio and hearing the weather report that the temperature would be dropping all day with wind chills expected to be in the negatives the next couple of days I started to talk to Dalton about warmer days.
Me: I can't wait for spring and summer.
D: Why?
M: Cause we get to play outside and go for walks and other fun stuff
D: What else?
M: BBQ...ride bikes...go fishing and camping
D: What else?
M: Go Swimming...
D: I want to go swimming now.
M: We can't it's too cold outside...come on get dressed time for school.
D: But I want to go swimming.
M: Maybe if you're good and don't have any accidents we can go to the indoor pool.
Pull into daycare parking lot and the crying starts...
D: I want to go swimming
M: Well don't have any accidents today and no time outs and we'll go swimming tonight.
Did I mention it should be like 15 degrees when I get off work. I'm really hoping there is at least one time out today...or he forgets he wants to go swimming.

What Do Men Blog About?
I'm not sure why this question popped into my head last night. I was browsing through the blogs from the girls on SITS and you know we all blog about...our kids...our jobs...our houses...decorating...saving money...cooking...Losing Weight...and on and on and on. But what do men blog about? So this weekend during nap time (the hubby is working or there's no way I'd get that much time on the PC) I'm going to search for some male blogs. I probably don't want to know what they're saying...but I could be fun.
This has been a looooooooonnnnnnnnng week!!! Sunday is my sister's baby shower!!! Yay! Miss Aleah Maria only has three and half more weeks til her arrival is due. Unless she takes lessons from her cousin Dalton and shows up three weeks early! However lil sis was dilated on Tuesday so...hopefully she stays and cooks a little longer.
Have a great weekend!

He's Three!!!! My Baby is Three!!!
So I had planned on having a post all ready Sunday morning...but that just didn't happened...Don't you know I only fit blogging in during my lunch hour from work :(
Sunday at 6:08 a.m. Dalton Lyle turned 3 years old...and that night when is snuggled on my lap after a long day I about cried at the thought of my baby growing up.
I could post about the crazy day of pictures Saturday or the awesome birthday party with all of the family but instead I want to write about the star of the show.
Three years seems so long ago...when we welcomed this beautiful baby boy into the world. He's always been a little guy...most of the kids in his class a daycare tower over him...but this year he did grow 3 inches and is now 3 ft and 1/2 an inch tall. He's gained about 4 pounds all year long.
My little man is really turning into a little man...he loves trucks and tractors (green and yellow)...hot wheels cars (we have like 130 of them) and he's a die hard mommy's boy.
He loves to be read to but also loves to read to mommy and daddy. He knows all the words to "My Dog's The Best" and even turns the book around so we can see the pictures so we can seem them and says "see guys"!
Dalton your willingness to argue over everything from what socks you wear to what bowl you eat your cereal out of to what toys can sleep with you in bed is cute in it's own way and we love seeing your personality start to really form. But that terrific three attitude is gonna get you lots of time outs if you don't start to cool it a bit. And who-ever taught you to say "GOSH" should be punished.
I'm excited to see you grow this next year...but not too fast ok? Mommy's not really read for a big boy. This year you'll move into the no parents help swimming lessons...you'll start pre-school in the fall and I'm sure you'll continue on becoming more independent :(
Happy Belated Birthday Dalton! Thank you for being Mommy's ray of sunshine :)

I can't even think I'm so tired
This is where I want to be...
No It's not my bed...but it looked comfy. I'm so tired!!!!
My son is three (well will be on Sunday) but you'd think the sleepless nights were behind us (unless of course we ever have another baby). Anyway...I went to be at like 11 p.m. last night. I'm generally a 10 p.m. to 5:45 kind of girl. However yesterday I spent the whole day cleaning for the upcoming party Sunday. Fixing a turkey and then we had my grandparents over for dinner. I was exhausted to say the least. So I'm sleeping like a baby...having a really weird dream about the KC Chiefs and KC Royals...when I hear "mommy...mommy" from the end of my bed. So I tell him to go to the bathroom and he could get into bed with daddy and I. Well that created a HUGE melt down. How dare I ask him to go to the bathroom so he won't pee in my bed. Finally I get him calmed down into my bed...I'm in the middle :( When he starts wiggling around and pushing me further over on Rocky's side it's just no comfortable. So I take him back to his bed and tell him to stay there hugs and kisses see you in the morning. 10 Minutes later he's back...this time I decide to just lay in the race car bed with him.
(Not my kid in the bed)
So I'm all scunched up in this contraption when he starts poking my eyes, my ears...rubbing my arm and then sitting up and looking at me. This went on for I don't know how long we he told me his ear hurt. So we got up gave tylenol went to the bathroom and laid down on the couch by this time it was 5 a.m....and the next thing I knew it was 5:45 and Rocky was standing over me telling me to wake up :(
Sleep!!! I need sleep!

Happy 2009!
Hope you rang in the new year having fun and being safe. We won't go into my uneventful night! Today I'm am working on those new years resolutions because this is my year!
Anywho...I've already started my control journal for flylady...fought the temptation of leftover candy...and decided not to get rid of my Tony Little Gazelle...and fought the temptation to go shopping. I am proud of myself...Can't wait to see the results!
If your Resolution was to lose weight please check out my weight loss blog Losing It One Pound At A Time my friend Shannon posted her weight loss story and for me it's very motivating because she weighed about what I weight now and is currently holding steady at my goal weight.
