I just got to thinking...

So I woke up today as usual about 7:30am to find Logan laying beside me trying to get me to play with him. I  have to admit that it does take me awhile to wake up in the morning i can't just hop out of bed and start my day like some people can. So I finally get up and get Logan breakfast and myself some, and head out the door to do laundry. Daddy and Logan were going to have some father son time while mommy got laundry done. I pull out of the driveway seeing Logan looking out the window waving bye to me and smiling at me, I'm thinking man he sure is a charmer, and makes me so happy.

I am doing laundry and I get to thinking how I want to show my children that they are respected and loved and I want them to be assured that they bring so much joy to my life. I know that with the daily chaos parents go thru between disaplining their children and what not, sometimes its hard to really see what lifes all about for our children. Its hard to work around that daily frustration of hmm how should i react to the way Logans acting, should i ignore this negative behavior or should i disapline. So i decided that I am going to focus more on the good,positive things Logan does, and try to ignore the negative, none important things Logan does ( aka things that are not that big of a deal).

I am also going to challenge myself to smile more often at my children. I want Logan to know I am happy with the positive things he is doing. And I want him to know he is loved!

What do you feel is important to do daily with your children?

Getting things together for Landon's Arrival

Today Landon's crib went up! I am now 34 weeks pregnant, time is just flying by! We are getting so anxious to meet our little guy! Yesterday I went out and bought Landon's carseat! I got one of those Graco My Ride carseats, I love it, also got one that comes in and out of the car from a friend of ours, that will come in handy for our second vechicle.

I also picked up the cloth diapers for Landon. I am very happy to try the cloth diaper thing. I have heard about alot of  people really liking them and some  people really didnt care for them. It will save us alot of money though which is a big plus!
Here is Landon's crib:

I love it!

Snow Day!

Yes, last night it finally decided to snow! It wasnt really that cold today, Logan had an Appt. this morning so he got to atleast walk thru the snow and play alittle in it! We got a few inches! I am so thankful for the moisture we received, it was much needed! Logan and I did some crafts today and just hung out!

Tomorrow is my hubby's birthday, so you can look forward to a post about that! =)

Did you do anything fun today?

What's New

Today I decided that it was time for a change, so I went and got a new hairstyle. I LOVE it! I finally have volume, and I can straighten it as well. Here's a few pics

I'm 33 wks pregnant

Also I finally got my coupon binder put together. It is now so much easier to find coupons when need-be!

And last, but not LEAST, I am loving how potty training Logan is going! We stayed up in the hospital for a few days this week and Logan did amazing with holding his pee and not going in his pull-up! I knew it wasnt going to be easy especially since he was hooked up on iv fluids the whole time, but he was such a big kid about it, I am just sooo proud of him! Tomorrow I am going to start putting him in underwear! I hope he continues to pee in the potty and hold it!

Do you have anything new that you would like to share?

update

so i thought id do a quick post  about how pottyvtraining is going

Starting to get anxious

I am really starting to get anxious about Landons birth. This pregancy has been great, I haven't really had much to complain about. It has been healthy, which is most important. I just keep reassuring myself that the birthing process will go fine. It's so funny that im nervous about birthing another baby and I have already done it once before! haha. Anthony and I both think Logan is going to do great with Landon. Logan is really growing up, it makes me sad! He will most likely start some sort of school this year! I can't believe it is already that time. He is loving potty training still and I am so happy about his independence!

Happy Thursday!

Logan New Routine

I have decide that it is time to get Logan back on track and into a routine, i've heard that alot of families that only have one child don't make their kids have a bedtime routine, or a regular routine to that matter. But here lately I have really been working hard on getting Logan on a scedule. He was on a scedule before now, it just wasnt really that great! So we now wake up, Logan and I at 7am every morning, we eat breakfast,brush our teeth, then have music and play time. Then I start to make lunch bout 11am we eat at 11:30 am, then we go outside if it nice, if not, we color,do puzzles and do educational stuff! Then 1-2pm is nap time. 4pm bath time, Logan usually take about an hour bath, he loves bath time!! Then I start to make Supper bout 5pm. Then We eat bout 5:30-6pm. Then Bedtime is 8pm! So far this scedule is working great, I am so happy! This gives Anthony and I time to spend together and catch up with eachother and it also gives Logan structure! Also we are still potty training, it is going well, Logan is liking it and he likes to wear his 'COOL" underwear haha!

How has having a routine for your children made it easier for you, and them?
