Nothing at all today! I am so sick of going, going, going. It’s been none stop going since last Wednesday when we left for Ohio and I plan on having a nice relaxing day at home with Alyce and Christiano. I have some normal house cleaning to do, then I’m going to veg and watch The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season
So much for things being calm this morning. I had to take a break to get the kids ready. Katiana was wearing her dress I made her. She said the ric rac inside was itching her. I cut the little bit that was sticking out, she put it on, it started falling apart. The tie fell off on one side, there was a hole in the seam here, a hole in the seam there. I hurried to my sewing machine and fixed it. I didn’t have time to do the hairstyle I wanted to do for her. I am holding my breath and hoping the dress doesn’t fall apart at school today. Now I know what basting is for. See, you should really follow the instructions when sewing a pattern. And this is why I’m waiting for my mom to help me make Alyce’s dress. Well, that and I need to buy pink thread that matches her Betty Boop fabric.
I need to hem up Jordan’s jeans for school too. We usually pay someone to do it, but Pato said since I have a sewing machine now that works that I can save us money and do it myself. I hate the ways jeans look when they are hemmed by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing though. These are the steps I want to follow to keep the original hem. I’m hoping it works. I have to hem up about 7 inches on Jordan’s jeans.
Here’s some cute. Christiano’s vocabulary is expanding every day. It’s awesome. I always worried about the girls because they would not say a thing until 2. Seriously. Nothing until 2. Then they took off talking in sentences. Christiano just had mama, dada, I did it, apple, bird, and book for awhile.
When we were going to Ohio, he picked up Chiapas. To you that might not be a word. To us? Hysterical! Whenever the kids ask Pato where we are going he says to Chiapas. And of course, it was said a few times on the way. All of a sudden from the back seat of the car we hear this little voice say, Chiapa! Chiapa! Pato and I started rolling! Christiano wants to go to Chiapas.
Then there was the night before last when Christiano was getting into stuff and I picked him up and said, you are naughty! He looked at me and said, nauny? Yes buddy, you’re naughty. Nauny nuany nauny.
When I yell for Pato from another room, Christiano joins in – Pato! Pato!
And when someone says Nano, he says Nano!
If someone asks who wants something, no matter what it is, or whether or not he wants it, Christiano yells out, I do!
When he is leaving me (walking out of a room) he turns and says bye!
And if he wants to nurse, he points to me there and says, boop! That’s not the most embarrassing thing to have your child do to you when you’re out and about or anything. He knows he only gets boop before bed or nap. He tries though. Boundaries child, boundaries. Respect my space bubble. Oh, who is kidding who here? There are no space bubbles when you are 18 months.
There’s more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I love it all though! He’s at the stage where he’s learning something new every day. To see his eyes light up when he figures it out and that big Christiano smile spread across his face, it does my heart good.
Well, I’m off. I just thought that I need to get my hair trimmed. Maybe I’ll do that today. I’m shaggy and it’s impossible to do my hair right now. Maybe. I really just want to relax though. Taking an 18 month old and a 3 year old to the salon is not my idea of a stress free time.
You know those people who think that stay at home mom’s do nothing and we have all the time in the world? They’ve never been a stay at home mom. I swear I feel busier now than I was when I worked full time managing a jewelry store.
Have a great day!

AMEN!! I’ve worked outside the home (as a Secretary and a Paramedic) and I’ve been a SAHM. Having done both, I know for a fact that being a SAHM is much harder, if nothing but the simple fact that you never have even one minute off!! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED being a SAHM and I SO badly miss the days when my girls were little! In fact, if you’ve read my blog recently, you know that I’m really struggling with that right now! Last week, my oldest turned 24, my middle daughter started college and my youngest daughter got her driver’s license….all in the same week! :*( I don’t think that was fair at all! :0(
Seriously though, my youngest grandson is doing the whole ‘echo’ thing, too. Everything single thing we say, he repeats. It is SO stinking funny sometimes and you can’t help but want to hug him and eat him up!
Well, I hope you enjoyed your day of doing nothing! HAHA! Let us know how it was.
