So Much

So much to say. I've been meaning to sit down and write, butttt....instead I do something else. So, last week was spring break. I think one of my friends said it best, "I thought spring break was going to be fun. But instead all activities are cancelled and everywhere is super crowded." Ah, so true. But we actually did have lots of fun. It did make for a long week, though. We started out at the children's museum with the dinosaur exhibit. Us and half of big D. Our other big outing was the zoo. This Momma got something right (for once?) and managed to get us there at 9:07, 7 minutes after it opened. And we STILL had to wait to park! Once we got in, it was crowded, but fun. Since we have a season pass (thanks, 'rents!), I didn't feel pressured to stay too long or try to see it all. We basically rode the carousel (twice), looked at the elephants and giraffes, and ate our lunch. It was a nice day out, and we even made it back home in time for naps. Poor Little Baby was all sorts of worn out since he didn't have his morning nap. And as I was rocking him, I was thinking how much I love this. Love being a mom to little kiddos. I'm sure I'll love being a mom to big kiddos and grown up kiddos, too. But this SAHM gig is pretty nice. Trips to the zoo, rocking babies to sleep. I hope I remember to savor the moments. And with the weather warming up, I'm really loving it. We are outside so much. I just love these long days, smelling like outside, letting the kids get all kinds of dirty playing in the sand, water, mud...
So let's see. News. At 10 months old, Little Baby FINALLY is getting his 2 lower teeth. He's been a trooper, and not too fussy about it. That kid really gets me. He just squeals and giggles and grins. Not at all like me ;-) Baby and I are much too serious. It's nice to have someone lighthearted around! I hope I don't make him grumpy.
Baby is starting to enjoy being a big sister, now. And OK, fine. She isn't a Baby anymore, but that's just what she's called. I can't go switching names of the "characters" can I?! So, anyway. She just loves to tickle and squeeze Little Baby. I kinda get why people have their kids closer in age now. I mean...built in playmate, awesome. I gotta admit I'm not really that good at playing.
Mmm...What else. I dunno. Guess that's it for now. I've got a few cute pics of the kids (surprise), but that would mean I'd have to find the camera, download, upload...well. You get the idea. Too lazy!
