James had his first day of daycare yesterday. Grandma is out of town for a few days. He usually stays with her while i am at work. (Which is a huge help.) He had a great time and was a big hit. Everyone loved Cole's little brother. He was spoiled as i new he would be. He was hanging out in one of the swings when i picked him up yesterday just wide eyed looking at everything. He got mad when the girl took him out. He got over it when he saw me. The past couple of nights he's been sleeping well. Usually out between 8-9pm then is up at about 2-2:30 then up again about 5:30-6am. So i am now getting about 4 hours of sleep at a time. Better than the 1-2 hours he was doing! Hopefully he keeps it up and eventually sleeps through the night. I'll miss our little quiet time during the night though. I'm having a tough time with him being our last. Everyone i have talked to that is done having kids says it gets easier. I hope so. Sniff Sniff!
Cole is in a huge "why" and question asking phase. "what are you doing mommy?" "Why?" "what's that for?" "Why?" "You making dinner?" "Why?" It's cute at first then after the 100th "why" it's old!! I know, one day he will be 16 and won't even talk to me or give me one word answers when i ask him stuff. I know, i was a teenager once long ago! He seems so big now that i have James. I carried Cole clear up to when i was in labor and went to work anyway. He didn't seem heavy or big. Now it seems like i am carrying a giant! He's looking more and more like a boy than a young child/toddler. He's trying to figure out he/she his/him/her. He knows they go to people but can't quite get the gender. He's also trying the get the concept of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. A pretty big thing to grasp. He'll say something happened yesterday but it really happened 2 months ago. so he's trying to figure out time. I'll give him time to get it. He knows left from right pretty well. I test him all the time on it and he is usually right. I was just floored that he knew it already. They must play a game at day care or something. He's a smart little cookie. His favorite teacher there always comments on how smart he is. I'm like heck yea he is!! He comes from a long line of smart people.
Hunting season is right around the corner so that means David being gone more on the weekends then his one week in Oct. So that means i am by myself with both kids. by myself. Did i mention by myself?? I know, I'll survive. He's going out scouting this weekend. I know i am freaking out about it but it will be OK in the end. I always freak out about things then they end up OK and i wonder why i worried so much.
Well i weighed myself on our fancy scale here at work and i am 7 lbs below my pre preggy weight and 10 lbs less than this time last summer. I've been walking on my breaks now that i don't have to pump. We have a nice walking path out side so i walk there in the morning since it's not too hot yet. It took me 16 min 30 seconds yesterday and today was 15 min 30 seconds. (i have a stop watch on my phone to time) Last summer it took me 22 min. We used to have 20 min breaks now we have 15 min. I figure its a start. I'd like to walk in the evenings but i just seem to run out of time. I'll have to hop on my exercise bike then. I like my yoga and Pilate's videos but NEVER have time to do them plus Cole is usually watching a movie. Not much space either with toys every where.
OK wasted enough work time, now it's lunch time!!
