First Week

So it is Friday on the first week of being a stay at home mom. Can I just say I LOVE IT!!!!! I love being around my kids all day and getting to play with them and teach them things and just listen to what they say. Titus surprises me all of the time, yesterday we were sitting around and out of the blue he says, "My ears are growing". Where did that come from? It is so funny some of the things he says. Daniel started a game with Titus this weekend and it is so much fun. We just go back and forth saying "I love you" and then the next person says "I love you" and it gradually gets louder and you start laughing. I just love hearing my kids say "I love you, momom" It makes your heart mealt!!

Benjamin is sleeping the whole night through most of the time. This morning he was crying and i went to get him out of his crib and he was standing up in his crib. I wondered is he going to start trying to get out pretty soon? We put Titus in a toddler bed before he figured out how to escape. Benjamin is starting to looking like a different kid. Everyone always says he looks just like his brother, and he does but he is starting to different features. He is growing up so fast, I saw a baby the other day and was saddened because Benjamin isn't that small any more. He is starting to eat the food off of our plates and he tries to drink out of Titus's sippie cups when Titus leaves them around. Which I am not complaining about, it will be easier to transition to the next stage. He is now crawling and loves to stand and hold on to things. He also LOVES to play with Titus. He laughes at Titus all of the time!!!

So staying at home is a great next step for our family. I can cook dinner and pack lunches for Daniel and even make breakfast, if that includes making it early. At the begining of the week, the kids were getting up at 6:30 wide awake ready to go, and now they sleep until about 7:30, but I try to keep them in bed as long as possible, because I love to sleep!!!!
