Things....

Oh my it’s been a long time

I fell like I just can’t keep up anymore. I’m not sure exactly what is taking up so much of my time, but what ever it is, I am not able to complete many things in my life.
Things that I miss
Reading , drinking coffee alone, blogging, sewing, showering in the morning, napping, running errands by my self, getting to bed before 11, popping into a store because I want to get something small(too much work to get 2 kids in and out of a car), SLEEP


Yes these things have slowly disappeared from my life, and I don’t seem to realize it until I try it again... and I think, ‘wow, I haven’t done this in a long time’

Things that I never knew were so much fun.
Running around the house trying to escape Calliope while using Buster as a block, talking with a 2.5 year old, knowing ‘it’s ok Mommy, I’ll eat that’, hearing 2 giggling voices in the back seat, listening to conversations of dollies, watching a toothless grin, making a game out of changing diapers with a small baby (key word small baby)


Things that confuse me
Hearing the toilet flush and not knowing what was in it, daylight savings full moon and Friday the 13th all in one week, how a 2 year old can be put in her bedroom to nap and play for 2 hours by herself, how someone can remember where Bob Marley is from, but doesn’t hear ‘put on your shoes’ 20 times, how a baby still wakes up 3times one night and sleeps 11 hours the next

Calliope just sat down and started suntanning in our front entrance way, the light was so beautiful, even though suntanning is the last thing on our minds at this time of year



Come out, come out, where ever you are!!! Yannis has been teething for what seems like forever. I cant’ wait to see those pearly white.

Yannis is defining himself lately. I’m not sure that it’s a boy thing but Yannis starts to let out a grunt along with this little body jerk when he is getting frustrated. He loves his food, and is getting to the point where he doesn’t want to be spoon fed, but pick it up himself. He loves his Calliope, his face just lights up when he sees her in the morning. It’s hard not to compare the 2 kids, but I am finding him a little more docile than my daughter. I haven’t pin pointed what it is, because he still has some wild moments.


Calliope just finished her first round of skating lessons. It was off to a rough start with the only ice time being that on her bum. Once the teacher skated up to her, she would just collapse and not get up for ½ hour. Today, she played Mr Wolf with the other kids, and glided too. Her favourite is when Dad would whip her around with a hula hoop while she held on with her hands. She received her report card today, and was so proud of the stickers she got.
