HELP!

For my own journaling purposes Only...

This was what motherhood looked like today at our house! today I lost the little bit of independence that I thought I had.. George has CONQUERED the Crib! You see I knew when that day came that I was TOAST and that is exactly what I was today... We had absolutely no nap at our house today. I was pretty shocked when I put him down today and a few minutes later he opened his door and said, "I OUT mommy!!!" He laughed and giggled and ran away from me, so I thought it must be a fluke. I put him in and 30 seconds later the same thing! You see George Could not have been prouder, his face showed it and he was beaming... He had conquered the crib! So the two of us battled ALL DAY LONG! I was so exhausted... I went from laughing to crying to laughing to crying. He was so onry but was having way to much fun just showing me What he could do now. I finally locked him in his room! AH HA I thought I had really got him that time.. 1o minutes later his spotless room looked like this! He managed to dump 3 book shelfs, throw every single diaper he owned, and wiped vaseline and lotion all over everything!

Now the day before was a rough one as well... I spent all morning cleaning up Diaherrea. yes to much information, but it is real and it is my life. Poor little fella wasn't feeling good, and I felt bad for him. So after I had bleached the tub, and the crib, and the blankets, I was putting in wash downstairs and I came upstairs to a kitchen that had been egged.. Not just 1 egg, but 18 eggs! I could not believe it. He looked at me like, "I don't know what I just did, but it was AWESOME!" Wow, I think someone was feeling more like himself..

We have trouble brewing here at the Oldham house, but at the end of the day of no naps and just about pulling my hair out... I am so Glad that I have this little boy to love on. He keeps me running, he keeps me busy ( honestly I don't know what BORED is) and he has made me learn that I have so much to work on in myself! He truly is such a sweet boy but the two of us have somethings that we are learning together! I am just praying for a little better day tomorrow for both of us!

Whoever said motherhood was easy is crazy... It is HARD, but don't get me wrong it is so rewarding, and I am trying to soak in every single minute because my boy is growing fast! I just need to journal these things and be real with my life right now.

Today was just one of those days you are grateful you get to try again tomorrow!

Thanksgiving Break...

Wow it came and went so fast but we had a blast! We were able to fly home and see family which was a huge highlight of the week! george absolutely loved going home and LOVED his COUSINs!... Literally We have talked about Na-nate since he left missouri Two months ago. He would wake up in the middle of the night to ask if he can play with na-nate. I would have to lay him back down and tell him he had to wait till the morning! Life seemed easier with Na-nate around cause they entertained each other so well. They would hug when they saw each other and hurry off to go play together! George also loved seeing all the animals, riding horses, sledding, playing in the snow, flying in the sky on the airplane, and breaking all of Grannys Christmas decorations! YIKES... There are some pluses and minuses for us visiting, but I am pretty sure we are worth it :) ha I took like no pictures while I was home but here are just a few for viewing pleasure!

Another Highlight to Georges trip was meeting up with Ev and Ali. He still talks about the Choo choo and about EVAN! It is cute to hear him say his name and they both share the same love of thomas the train! We went to Red Robin and rode this little choo choo around the mall. It lasted about 10 minutes and let me tell you it was SOOO worth it for us. George loved it and felt so awesome in it! Thanks Ev and Ali for meeting up with us. We can't wait to see you Soon!

Thanksgiving!
