What a fun but tiring day for me and my little guy! Today was also a pull-your -hair out kind of day. Some days I just have to sit back and laugh at the little tornado that seems to have hit our home (aka Cory) . He is getting so active and constantly getting into everything so I would spend all day cleaning up one area as he would be getting into the next pulling things off the shelf. Not a big deal but i wonder how much time is spent putting things away only to look like I hadn't lifted a finger all day by the time John gets home so that is why I realized it can be pointless to clean during the day and I don't want to focus so much time and energy to cleaning up messes but to wait until the evening or when little man goes to sleep. Sometimes Cory "helps" me clean up at the end of the day which is cute while I am vacuumming he pulls out his play lawnmower acting like he is vacuuming as well. I started a project of cleaning out my pantry today, which I will have to post a pic of later...it looks pretty now:) Just to name a few things that didn't go as planned: Got 2 dog bones out and gave them to the dogs in the living room while Cory's watching TV on his chair, turn my back to work on pantry project for a bit, Cory walks in the kitchen holding a half eaten dog bone, the other half is in his mouth(yuck)! I spilt all the spaghetti on the floor because the package wasn't closed and didn't realize, before I could clean it up Cory was breaking it into little pieces and putting it in the dog's water bowl. Just my luck of the day after filling up the dog bowl with clean water I get tripped up by the vacuum cord spilling half of it if the floor and half on me....grr....so had to change clothes! Something was just up today and naptime was non-existant since Cory cried longer than usual and i kept going to his room to check up and realized he had pooped while jumping in his crib refusing to nap so I get him out, change him and we ended up just playing outside! It was at least a gorgeous 80 degree day so we stayed out for most of the day! He was running around like the energizer bunny! We did some swinging on the swingset, I walked with him in the stroller, we went down to the woods, he wanted to splash around in the creek and threw a mini tantrum when he couldn't so we came back up to the house and in our yard there was a random dog I had seen before walking around the neighborhood. Nick and Lucky see him and darted over faster than ever charging at him and almost got in a fight but I was yelling at them and they didn't do anything but chase him around. My no-nap wonder sat down to eat dinner and was so pooped that he fell asleep there in his high-chair! This is the first time he was ever too tired to eat his meal and fell asleep after eating about half of it...pretty funny but tomorrow hoping the nap time goes a bit smoother! He's asleep in his crib now and I am happy his sleeping through the night wasn't a fluke because he has slept 10-12 hrs a night without waking since we started the sleep training...yay! Though in the moment I can get frustrated with the little annoying things that can happen in a day, at the end of the day I still feel so thankful to have my little guy and my pups to chase around and clean up after and wouldn't trade living these busy but entertaining moments, whether they be fun or not-so-fun....bring em' on! :)
