somedays....


it would be so much easier to hop on the subway after waving the nanny good-bye and letting her deal with my kids all day long.

like yesterday.
no one was having a good day. peanut was verbally difficult... mostly because he can articulate himself extremely well. he even woke me up from MY nap to explain to me one more time why 45 minutes was just perfect for room time as opposed to a full hour. (i'll let you know that i don't think he understands time but knows one was longer than the other) in his fit over room time he woke up both his siblings. that just was the icing on the cake.

then there are days like today.
we did some work on letters and colors, sweet pea took a good morning nap, i got dinner started (marinating), we went to the park and had a picnic with friends in beautiful weather....all before 2pm. i was reminded what a treat is it to be able to stay home and be with my kids. the park was spectacular and it was 75 degrees. a beautiful day where they ran, kicked the ball, and played hide and go seek behind trees that didn't hide them at all.

i am blessed, i have amazing kids, and i love doing it in new york.

Didn't know you had a nanny! Is she the one that you see in that big mirror as you go up the stairs? Thought so. If you get to that point again, just put them on a jet headed for LA and Mimi and I'll give you a break (or you could get on the jet and we'll give the kids a break!).

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
