OK so we now have a new computer and I should be able to do this more often AND with pictures!!!
The weather has just been beautiful this week! I have had to work 4 days but every second I'm not at work I'm lovin' on my boys!!! Carter started gymnastics a few weeks ago. Now I know some of you are thinking, "I would NEVER put my SON in gymnastics." I used to same the same thing. There just are not any activities that an 18 month old can do. Carter will be starting preschool in the fall. I'm a little scared for him to go into a class of strange children and take orders from strange women when the only people who ever "watch" him are Scott and I!!! So this is a way for him to learn how to interact with other children and learn to take instructions from a "teacher" while Mommy is still right there!!! So we go once per week. He is doing so great! Now we are not in this to produce a Gold Medal Gymnast or anything but I'm so proud of him. He is the youngest by a full year and he is doing what the "big" kids are doing! They part that most excites me is he is actually listening to his teacher and doing what she is asking! It is so amazing to watch my baby boy grow into the most adorable toddler EVER!!!
Scott and I got to do something we have looked forward to for more than 7 years now last night. We left Carter at home asleep in his bed with Mimi on watch to go shopping for his Easter basket!!! I have always wanted a little family that we could do all of those magic things parents do...like be or "help" the Easter bunny!!! I am enjoying being Carter's mother more and more with literally every day that passes. Being a Mother is the best title in the world.
I have to say that I start working 5 days a week next week for the first time since Carter was born and I am so going to miss my little man, and the big one too!!! Weekends will be even more precious. I am so thankful that his wonderful and amazing Daddy does such a great job during the week while I'm at work! Afterall who else would I want him to be with if it can't be me? Scott is truly amazing in all that he does. Carter will one day realize how lucky he is to have so much time to spend with his Daddy! I love watching the two of them together!!!
Tonight we were all outside playing with bubbles on the picnic table in the front yard. Carter managed to trip on the driveway and skin his knee and leg and then fell off the picnic table straight onto his back and hit his head on the concrete. It was so much worse for me and Scott than it was him. He was mostly upset about being away from his bubbles while Mommy was trying to comfort him. He is most certainly a big boy. He is running all over the place now!
Well now that we have a better computer I will upload some pics to the next post! Happy Easter to everyone and be safe traveling!!!
