"hair mom"




Never a dull moment in this household! Wyatt took it upon himself to do his hair... I used to put lotion in his hair to help with the curls (I've graduated to hair gel) so Wy decided that maybe vaseline does the same thing.. and well it doesn't. This kid was a greasy mess for about a week!

If you haven't noticed... my camera will download to my computer now. YAY! Hence the million posts.

Wy loves to play with the camera, which he calls "pictures". He always gets some pretty interesting things, but I love the ones he takes of himself. He gets so dang close to the lense... too cute!

"stuck mommy"

My child can sometimes be... well slightly crazy. For awhile he would push his rocking chair into the kitchen and climb up on the counter. The only problem with this was the getting down part.


hungry anyone?

When Wy is hungry he opens up the fridge and pulls out his favorite snack... sour cream. Yum!

out with the old

Disclaimer: This blog is picture free due to technical dificulties or lack of technical skills.

I'm going to start this out with a shout out to one of my sisters who has inspired me and challenged me to dig a little deeper. She wrote a really awesome blog post here.

Lately I've been forced to make some grown up decisions, which I hate doing. Can't my mom still do that for me? Anyway, I guess that option has been gone for awhile now. To kick off this new found responsibility I have decided to start cleaning out my crap. I started with my closet yesterday and I must say it looks spectacular! It was quite the task seeing as how it's pretty large. I took before and after pictures, which hopefully I will be able to post soon. My next endeavor will be all the clothes that no longer fit Wyatt, wish me luck!

I loved going through all of my stuff and found some great things. Keys to the office I lost, pictures, wedding announcements, drawings from friends past, birthday cards, letters, papers from the hospital when I had Wyatt, etc. I found a letter that one of my sisters gave me after I had Wyatt, I think about it often but it was nice to actually read it again. It was just a confirmation to me that things will be okay and I'm on the right track. My family is nothing short of amazing, we all have different views and don't always agree on everything but we stick together. I've realized that what works for one of us isn't always going to work for the other and that's okay. Like my mom said, we've survived everything we have because we love each other. I'm so lucky.

a 2 year old said it... it must be true

"cool buns mom" followed by a patting of my buns.

that's right, wyatt thinks my buns are pretty cool. he probably wouldn't think that if he saw someone else's bare buns. but i'll take any compliment i can get!

Bedtime with wyatt is my own personal hell. I dread it every night. It is 11:09 and the bedtime attempt started 2 hours ago with the help of my cousin who was here watching Glee. When we first started having this nightly struggle, my cousin suggested these....
... which worked like a charm until about two weeks ago when he figured out how to rip them off. My friend Audrey suggested getting a lock for the door, so I'm going to switch his door knob around so that I can lock it from my side. (Side note to any concerned reader: I would always open his door before I went to bed and intend on doing the same thing in this case.) Somehow magically Wyatt can get through any locked door in our house so I'm a tad bit concerned that he will do the same. But I will attempt it anyway! Heaven help me... He's up again... *tears*

*UPDATE* 11:40 and I think we're in the clear... Understand the personal hell stuff now?
