Day 51: Lil Dude

Well its another Wednesday which means another fun-filled day with squish (aka - Brycen). It's always hard dropping Skylar off on Wednesday's because Bryce doesn't like to see her go and then realizes that he doesn't get to go to school either. So for a good 15 minutes, he'll cry and whine. Most times I can divert his attention to donuts but today didn't work. He was not happy about her leaving or maybe he was just not looking forward to spending the day with me. Ha. When we got home, he asked to watch Mickey Mouse which worked out great so that I could get a menu together for the week. As I was sitting at the desk writing out our menu and grocery list, I had that same panicked feeling I get most times he's here and the house is quiet. I went running out of the office to make sure he's okay and find him still watching TV, just with a few less articles of clothing...

This is how this kid is all the time now! Naked from the waist down. He's still potty training and I've learned to be patient with him and let him kind of take the reigns on this one otherwise he completely backs down. And for whatever reason, naked works. If I put him in a diaper, he pees. If I put him in undies, he pees. But naked?! He'll go hauling off to the bathroom on a mission and sits up on the toilet all by himself and goes. So whatever works, right? Because he's like me and doesn't much care for TV, he only watched about 20 minutes worth (which is pretty impressive) and then he was off to take care of his other mission in life - driving mama crazy! I still had to get the menu done because we still needed to go to the grocery store but this little turkey was desperate for mama's attention. So we both made the list together or "worked" as he called it.

Yep, still naked. We finally managed to make it to the grocery store (with clothes on), come home and put everything away, have lunch, and he went down for a nap (unwillingly). While he napped, this mama did some P90X because with the kiddos being sick, I've not been able to make it to bbc so gotta get a workout in somewhere. I finished just in time to wash my face off, grab a sandwich and go get Skylar. Poor squish was still half-sleeping when I put him in the car and asked "mama? where's beck-fist (breakfast)?" We got our little beauty and then came home to play before daddy got home. Lil dude might drive me crazy from time-to-time but man, I love this boy! My favorite part of today was him crawling up in my lap, giving me a huge hug, and in hearing him say "I wuv u mama" in his sweet voice. He's my sweet lil squish!!!
