Up until lately, I always would ask Colin questions knowing full well that he doesn't answer me but recently he will randomly answer! When I got home from work, I was asking Colin about his day. I asked him who he played with and he goes "P!" P is his best bud from daycare. They are two peas in a pod! She's a doll and I love watching the two of them play and get excited to see each other. Back to the point of the post ... So I brought Colin downstairs and taped him talking about his day. It took some proding because he was distracted by the camera and wanting to play in the chair.




Three things I love most about this video are:
#3: How much of a hot shot he thinks he is in the chair - rubbing the arm, laying his head on the side. He looks so old!
#2: I love how excited he got about birthday cake! (It was his daycare's 1 year birthday)
#1: When I ask if he likes P, he answers 'ahh yeah.'

I saw this on a few blogs and thought I'd give it a whirl.

i ALWAYS...
love praise and worship music
make lists of projects to accomplish, errands to run, things buy, etc.
think mornings come too early
will love traveling and vacations
remember names and dates but pretend not to in hopes of not coming across as stalkerish


i SOMETIMES...
ignore the phone if I don't want to talk to whoever is calling
get addicted to online shopping (maybe this one should go in the always catagory)
think about packing up and moving away but know my mother would kill me
wonder how I got so lucky when I look at my two boys
question if I'm doing the right thing with my life


i NEVER...
think to myself "I sure wish my thighs were bigger."
will turn down a donut (reason for item above this?)
thought motherhood could be so rewarding
or difficult as I hear my child screaming at the top of his lungs from his crib
think the winters aren't long enough here in Michigan


what about you?

I hear the rain falling on the house as I roll over to see the alarm clock says 8:09. Shit! Who is late for work? It takes me a minute to remember it is Saturday and we both have the day off. It takes another minute to realize that thankfully Colin is still sleeping.

I hear low rumbles of thunder and the alarm clock now says 9:17. I roll over to see an empty bed. The house is quiet - too quiet for having two boys awake. I walk downstairs only to find this: It's a perfect excuse to climb back into bed.

I hear joyful screaming and playing and I won't even say what time the alarm clock said now. Lets just say it was a blissful time - a time much later than I've seen in a long time. I walk down the stairs to see Colin and Mike playing puzzles on the floor. I think to myself this is a nice way to start the morning.

But it got better. Much better. Mike pulls out a white box. This white box. I know some of you know what it is just by looking at the box. It's a box from my favorite bakery across town.

What a perfect morning. Sleeping In. My favorite donut. Great Son. Fabulous thoughtful Husband. Thanks babe!
