Motherdom
I've been updating a lot lately. But I just wanted to add:
Having children adds a whole new dimension to your life. Sometimes it just amazes me (even still) when I'm lying with Zane to get him to sleep and he has his arms wrapped so tightly around me and he nuzzles in against me... it just amazes me how it feels. It's so much more than a husband/wife thing. It's a mother/child thing. It's so amazing. And when I'm lying with Zane and Shane is on the other side and our eyes meet across our little son, it's something so special. The toddler newsletter I get says "Your child is 28 months! ... If he is still sleeping in bed with you, now is the time to get him his own bed." haha... Right you are, mate! But it's so sweet and special I know I will miss him a bit when he is sleeping by himself. I probably won't so much miss the hair-pulling and the kicking and the "steam-rolling" he does.
Today we were wrestling in the trailer (what is it with boys and wrestling?) and Zane "knocked" me over so I was lying on my back and he was lying on top of me, and he was being a dinosaur (his favorite game) and roaring and pretending to bite me. He "pretends" to bite our noses, and will actually close his teeth on our nose, but lightly (thank goodness!). Anyway, when he was closing in to bite me, I raspberried at him (Phhbttt!) in a desperate effort to save myself from being bit, and he was taken aback for a split second, and then he did it right back at me! And it was sooo slobbery RIGHT IN MY FACE that I couldn't help but bursting out laughing, and then I couldn't protect myself against the dinosaur at all. But it was just hilarious. That kid. He is so smart!
He just went to bed while I was writing this. Poor kid, he only got a short nap this afternoon and he was wiped. Since I am now free of all responsibility for the night (hehe) I guess I should do my *other* job and do some work for Shane. He has a big claim to do tomorrow in Nashville. I don't know what I will do while he does that ... supposedly it will take a while. Maybe he can drop me at the mall or something. Anyway, I better get to work.!
I'll leave you with this...
Big smiles!
And thumbs up, Mom!
