Love this weather!

When the weather is nice, it’s nice! It was cold/rainy the end of the week last week. Thursday I heard our cabin got 17in of snow! Nothing here. Sunday was Easter (Russian Orthodox). Luckily it was dry and dried up the ground and became nice out. We were able to hang out outside. I brought Bruce’s push thing, he was able to show everyone how he can push it around, he just started that on Monday 4/28. My mom had gotten him a car that you can sit on from the thrift store. He’s trying to lean over the back and push it by the steering wheel. He really needs on that has a handle in the back to push. But he loved that. My mom had found me a jogging stroller at the thrift store, i’m not sure which one she got, it was either $19.99 or $12.99 plus 10% off cause it was kid’s day. I’m excited. I am glad I didn’t spend a lot on it cause it’ll only get used if I go for a run or rollerblade. The front wheel is the kind that doesn’t have the option to swivel. Going on basic walks, I’ll be using our main stroller. My mom had asked if I tested it out yet, even if just to the end of our street and back. She doesn’t know that my boobs hurt like hell, so no! I’m planning on going rollerblading today, so I’ll use it.

One of my Favorites, Senorita Benitez, has a water table for her kids. I’ve never heard of one, so I looked it up. I want one! I saw one when we were at Walmart. If possible, I’d want to bring it to the cabin, then to the little lake. I’d want it to come home with us too, since we probably won’t be at the cabin a whole lot this year. I think down at the little lake, in just a couple inches of water and all the cousins can play! I’m going to look on Craigslist.

I swear on days that I work I always think "I’m not cut out to be a working mom". I worked this past weekend. Friday night/Saturday morning, Bruce got up around 1:30-2am. I got him back to bed, then I was up at 5am. Oh he’s easier to get back to bed. There was that period of time I couldn’t get him back to bed, that must’ve been a phase. Work was CRAZY. Then I come home and bust my butt off to finish Avery’s cake. Then we went over to Roger’s parents for supper. I know I didn’t have to go. We dropped the Explorer off. We came home around 9. I got Bruce in bed shortly. Then I had to put together my cheesy hashbrowns for the next day (Roger put them in the oven while I was at work). So I got to bed around midnight. My stupid cat Lola, who likes to be a PITA sometimes was bugging the crap out of me! After fighting with her for awhile, and then she layed peacefully by my feet, guess what? Bruce wakes up! I let out this biggest sigh. I kinda stood there for awhile with the lamp on thinking about telling Roger he’s gotta do it. I did it. I was back in a half hour (I got a system so I think it works better if I just do it). I decided to shut the door with Lola out. She just pawed and pawed at the door. Finally I gave up and let her back in. I had to fight with her for awhile. Then I was up at 5. Guess what? Bruce was up again! I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth. Roger had him, he tried to have him lay on him in bed. He needs to be rocked. So I took him since I was ready for work and didn’t have to leave for 20 minutes (5:30). I went and rocked him in his room and had him in his crib asleep by 5:30. Later on Roger text me thanking me and said he slept til 7:30. Shut up! lol. Then guess what? Sunday night, Monday night, slept like a charm! Last night I heard him at 2:30, I went to the bathroom and he quieted down, I never went to him. He made noises about an hour hour, I ended up getting up at 7:15 cause he was up. Brushed my teeth, dressed, made him a bottle. Haven’t heard a peep since! He was asleep by 9:15pm and it’s 7:50am now.

So yeah like I mentioned, he started pushing that thing around. If you’re on Facebook, I posted a video. Just a day or two before that, he was starting to let go of things. It’s funny. I’ll be sitting there with my knees bent. He’ll pull himself up and his hands are on my leg. He’d let go slowly, then squeal and laugh, then plop. He totally knows what he’s doing. We’ve been trying to get him to take a step to us from the couch but it hasn’t happened yet. My bday is Memorial Day (5/27), we’re thinking he’ll be walking unassisted by then.
