Naptime..

A time for myself, and other "sahm" mommies like me to just relax. As much as I love all 31 pounds of my Evan baby, It's good, REALLY good, to have "me" time. Even if i never do half of the things I say I am while he's napping, It's almost always SOMEWHAT of a success.

 I spent the last week and then some visiting my Virginia family. Time always escapes me while I'm there. But it was good,really good. Amidst the chaos I was still able to find "me" time, lots of it, and that is exactly what i needed going into this trip. I had promised myself I would catch up on sleep. I decided to break that promise and hang out with old friends. In the end it was a win-win situation.

I love seeing my husband after it's been few days. He's having car trouble, plus no AC in this god-awful heat, So he dropped Evan and I off and I sent him, and my fully-loaded-air-conditioned honda back to Carolina. He was so grateful. And I was just happy to see him happy. Another win-win.

Evan turned 2. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I love that he's growing up and developing his own little personality, which he has LOTS of. But i definitely miss the neediness he's grown out of. Every once and awhile he still let's me rock him to sleep and feed him his bottle, i mean, big boy cup ;) I think he secretly knows how much i love it, but also knows he's no baby anymore.

He refers to all small object's as "baby's." The other day when we were playing playdough and making little eggs for a birds nest, he picked up the smallest one and whispered "a baaaaaaaaaaaaaby" It's strange, yes, but i love it, and i love him.


AHEM...
