the time has come in this household.. olive loves to explore!.. I was waiting for it.. I knew I had it to easy.. I used to be able to give her a new toy.. and she would sit for an hour with it.. just playing with it.. looking at it and learning what it does.. I would go upstairs and get ready for the day.. come back down.. she hadn’t moved.. now.. not so much.. that may be due to the fact that she can now open the baby gate and climb up the stairs..
this is our new home.. things tucked in nooks and cranny’s.. behind couches and under cribs.. we have lost many a bottle due to under the crib.. mold sets in .. and its a gonner..
the laundry is becoming insane! it started with some new summer clothes.. than some hand me downs from cousin Heidi.. now.. I am bringing a new dresser in .. just for reinforcements..
I was so excited when she discovered bracelets.. and watches.. because I had wondered how she gets into these things.. lord knows I don’t wear a lot of jewelery.. which apparently has not stopped me from buying it over the years.. watches.. necklaces.. boxes they came in.. anything.. and it is all over my closet and bathroom floor..
and don’t even get me started on flashcards.. I love them.. I have two sets of them in our home.. and when I hide them she always wines and points where they normally are until they are brought back into her world.. and I cannot say no! they are learning and teaching her things..
and now she rips them apart with her new teeth.. chews the paper in her mouth.. than hands it to me all sog dog..
and than there is this guy.. dont get me wrong.. he was a gift and we love it! and now she sits there and pushes the buttons and repeats back the letters and how to pronounce it.. but it is this random toy that even once she has walked away.. 5 minutes later it goes” bye bye” and scares the living day lights out of me! every time.. and than it draws her attention back.. and we start over again!!
all in the name of learning!
my sweet little peanut pop has been rewarding me with 3+ hour naps.. and I love her for it.. I love that I can bank on set afternoon time to myself.. today has been a much better day for me… yesterday morning was a doozy.. it started by leaving our paychecks on the top of the car.. signed and in an envelope with my account info on it.. i made it half way to the bank before realizing that they were not on my front seat.. thankfully they were there half way down my road.. waiting for me.. than a woman parked so close to my car at the bank that i actually had to wait for her to get out of the bank.. 5 full minutes.. standing there.. my remote key-less battery is dead so I couldn’t even open the car door and slide in the other way.. she strolled out.. i gave her the “I’m annoyed in this heat holding my baby who wants to play on the ground” face.. she jumped in her car… and started organizing her purse!! another 5 minutes.. she than took forever trying to reverse her car.. because mine was right there and she could barely back out of the spot with out scratching mine.. I don’t have a tendency to lose it on people.. and I was thankful I had sunglasses on .. because I was giving her the arms in the air.. are you serious face.. I came home and stayed indoors where it was safe until work beckoned at 5pm..
but hey.. I guess you have to have the bad days to remind you of the sweet ones..
