Saturday morning....

Every day is a rat race. I start to sweat if I am not out of the house at 720am. Pete gets Logan ready for me everyday..this wasn't always true but basically when Logan was a baby I had a minor meltdown and asked politely if he could do that because I simply cannot do it all. I am grateful he helps me, but he is a typical male....i.e. last friday we showed up to school with the sweatpants on inside out. But I am grateful hahah :) Sooooo everyday Logan wakes up right around 6. No.matter.what.time.he.goes.to.bed! Oy! During the week Pete makes him a waffle or something he usually eats within 45 minutes of being up...its just so hectic and rushing here and there.....even after work we rush home to have dinner bath bed...needless to say we love the weekends! Even though daddy works on Saturday...we love our time together! He knows when I don't get in the shower and daddy does...it's saturday( I just shimmied a little bit hahaha) Every Saturday I make him pancakes, he loves this. (definitely try this Alton brown recipe....it's amazing. So amazing that bisquick and I broke up!) Today I made a huge stack of pancakes... And he is playing cars, I said, it's pancake time! He replies with ....just a few minutes I'm playing cars! I said it again a few minutes later and he said not yet, a few minutes! I can't help but laugh and just let him relax in his own domain, because lets be honest, I am not alone with loving Saturdays! A few weeks ago we tried the little gym in Ridgefield @ 10am on Saturday. We also tried a class in danbury @ 9am. Ys, I love both programs. But I will not rush myself or my son if we have the chance to hangout, have pancakes, go to the park etc. it's too much of a commitment right now. When he is older that's one thing. Life is too short to rush on Saturday. So, today it is 920am and my son is still telling me to hold on a minute and I'm going to let him come to the kitchen when he s good & ready!!!!!! Judge away!!! Hahhahaha just for the record, he is not one of those brats that gets away with everything. The question is, how will I ever learn how to make my blog as cute as my other blogger friends!? I have no idea what I am doing !!!!!! Maybe at nap time I will do some research. Have a great weekend!!!!!

one proud mommy

Let's start this out as a vent. I posted this and it erased some how. I.have.no.idea.what.i.am.doing. Ok....vent over. When I was dropping Logan off today @ school, we were doing the usual routine of hanging up his coat putting his backpack in the cubby, getting prepared for the dreaded goodbye and the preschool teacher (who both my nieces have had as a teacher) stopped me and said,

he is so smart!

I immediately thought and said, 'really'? she said

yeh, kids in my class don't know shapes like hexagon, optogon, etc.

as I thanked her for her kind words that made my day I blushed! Thinking about what she said, I would just like to add that Logan loves this iPad game, shapes (don't know if that's the actual name' but I can get the name for you.) It was a free app that turned into me buying the upgrade that was soooo worth it. He loveeees it. PEOPLE, HE WANTED TO PLAY SHAPES INSTEAD OF WATCHING BUBBLE GUPPIES TONIGHT! much worth it! My 2.6 year old son knows purple oval, green star, white rectangle & point out that the shape square is different. Crazyyy! Ok, SO that made my head large marge style. But it did make me one proud mamasita. <3

bananas bananas bananas

A blog?! Am I bananas! I don't have time for pinterest! I have been an avid reader of many of my friends blogs for several years and even ventured out to a few of those popular mom blogs when I was preggo and a brand new mom. Ive always wanted to start a blog. I mean what better way to look back on milestones, memories and stories combined?!i always think of hysterical things that I could write in a blog but I never get it rolling. My BF just asked me last week, when did Logan roll over? I knew around when but not exact dates! I promised I'd be one of those mothers with every date written down, life is too hectic! I stopped myself tonight to slow down, and start this thing...and one little man was my reason why! Logan, 2.5 enjoys when I lay with him in his bed,for about 1.5 minutes and then he says "ok mommy, you go in your own bed". He likes cuddling but then realizes I am in his way from sprawling out and I get the boot! So, tonight he didn't kick me out! We were laying there...and he was still for 2 minutes, I thought for sure he was out cold. I got up and tip toed quietly out of his room and I went to reach for the door handle and he pops up from his bed and says, "HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!" I burst out in laughter that I couldn't hold back! And this is why I start my blog TODAY! I want to look back on stories like these and LAUGH! I hope I can give you a few laughs along the way too, xoxo
