Little boy wanted his teddy bear along this morning which was really odd
as he’s not the teddy bear type. But it looks like he was not being
himself all day cause when I went to pick him up they said he was sad
and out of it all day and wanted to go home. They had even called me but
I missed it cause I was in a meeting which, of course, made me feel sad
and guilty.



I’ve been ok today. I think while Mondays are the hardest meeting-wise,
I am most rested on Mondays so I go through them more easily. David and
I spent the evening being lazy since neither of us felt like being
productive so we lay on the couch and watched TV as we snuggled up.
Happy Monday.

I don’t know if it’s nesting or OCD but I have been wanting to cleanup
and organize David’s toys for weeks so on our trip to Costco for David’s
party, we bought some containers and some ziplock bags and I’ve just
been cleaning, sorting, and organizing all day.



It was a lot of work but it looks so much better now.



And here’s a little shot of David. This is the face he makes when he’s
done something wrong but says “It’s ok Mommy. It’s ok.” When he wants me
to let him know that it’s ok and I am not mad. Who could ever be mad at
this little boy?

David’s birthday is this weekend and we decided to celebrate it today at
school. It was really sweet and he got to have both me and his Daddy
there with him. The candles were trick candles and kept re-lighting up
which was funny.



Nothing much more today except that I am getting more and more exhausted
and it’s officially starting to worry me a bit. Not to mention frustrate me.

More flowers today. My backyard is finally blooming again. I saw two
hummingbirds yesterday, too. I can’t wait for spring to get here. It’s
been a little too cold.



Today is back-to-back-to-back meetings so it promises to be a LOT of
fun. (not!) What I really want to do is crawl right back in bed and stay
there all day.

Welcome February.



Here’s David snuggling up to Daddy. We spent the morning getting some
coding done and then David and Jake played the Wii a bit while I worked
on my kit from A Million Memories.



Productive days are my favorite. As Jake watched the Superbowl at a
friend’s house and David napped, I finished working with my kit and felt
happy and satisfied. Some of my favorite layouts of all time.



Got some sad news today from friends. A lot of that going around lately
which makes me pensive and sad. More on this later.

Love him.

He finally decided to remove his band-aid last night. I couldn’t believe
it. I am so proud of him. And then this morning, he pooped in the toilet
for the first time! He’s growing up, my little one.

I woke up all sick this morning. The allergies are at an all-time high
and I can barely keep eyes open. I wish things would let up a little
bit…but oh well. The little one is still moving and all seems to be
well so that’s what matters in the end.
