Happy Mother's Day

 Mother's Day

I'm very happy for the mother I have who taught me how to be silly and responsible. I love the mother who raised my husband and has become a second mother, welcoming me into the family. I feel so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mother to my beautiful children. They have shown me what true love is and even with my flaws, they love me and bring me so much joy. It feels like I am a completely different person just because I am a mom who thinks more about my children than myself I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day and enjoys the beautiful spring time we have!

Adrian

He has been moved into his own room! It's a bittersweet feeling because I've been enjoying him being my little baby, but I like having a room we don't have to tiptoe in when getting ready for bed. I love his long sleeping and only waking up once in the night to eat as well which I think being in his own room will help, even though I have to walk farther away to get him. He has started to drool so much! You might see pictures of him in bibs soon because I don't like when he soaks through his shirt or dribbles all over me when I'm holding him. He is pretty cute when he's smiling and starting to giggle at me though and I'm excited to use the new bouncer we got him because I remember Claire loving her exercise bouncer.

Claire

Her sickness which started early this week has migrated from her to Shay and Chris and is lingering and torturing him. Shay still coughs, but Chris is a lot worse for some reason, and it could be something completely different from his work. It's good that Claire is better because there was one day I had to go get her from school because she had pain in her ear that made her very sad in class apparently. It was an easy fix to give her medicine, but I don't like seeing her in pain and it was heartbreaking. She also has a loose tooth and when we went to the dentist, I was told they need to do better at getting all their teeth brushed! I will be watching both of them better...hopefully, if Adrian isn't distracting me. I've set up our downstairs to be a daycare and will hopefully find some kids who need a place to play for the summer to make it worth it. The girls play with the toys enough already and want friends to come over to play with them!

Shay

Our neighborhood had a yard sale weekend and the girls came with me to get the bouncer I wanted for Adrian, but they also were spoiled with new things that I bought for them! I didn't have the foresight to make them bring their own money and limit them so every house we passed that had toys they asked for things. But making them happy with a $1 toy is easier than buying them brand-new toys when it's not a birthday or holiday.
