The purpose of this blog is to learn to celebrate and appreciate something every day. It will also have comments from me about being a new mom, trying to raise a child to appreciate and respect all things in nature.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02456081077621515652noreply@blogger.comBlogger374125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523166328336350719.post-42735551126013472852012-06-08T22:42:00.001-04:002012-06-08T22:44:47.701-04:00Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02456081077621515652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523166328336350719.post-2428928972073843532011-12-31T21:23:00.002-05:002011-12-31T21:23:29.460-05:00Day 365- Looking BackIt's hard to believe that I actually did this for a year or that a year is already over. Looking back so much has changed in this past year and there is very little I can complain about. It's hard to believe at this time last year I had a 4 month old who I was worried about getting to nap well, sleep in a crib, start baby led weaning with, and roll over. Now I have a very vibrant 16 month old who is sleeping in his toddler bed, running like a wild man, rearranging furniture on a daily basis, climbing, talking, using utensils, and growing so quickly. On top of that- I'm 20 days away from making Jackson a big brother as well! I don't think I could imagine that this would be my life. I may be tired, doing laundry, reading and going to bed early tonight, but I would much rather have that and wake up to a smiling little boy, holding Mr. Monkey, yelling "Mama" first thing in the morning than spend the night out partying and sleeping the day away tomorrow. Don't get me wrong- I love that too, and many days I miss that stage of my life, but then there is a kiss, a cuddle, a thank you, or a smile that remind me how blessed I am to have the life I have today.<br />
<br />
I have learned a lot from doing this blog over the last year, it's been wonderful to have a daily reflection and a time to sit and remember all the little things. I have decided to end this blog and start a new one tomorrow, one that reflects our growing family, my more defined parenting sense, and all the new adventures that 2012 promises to bring to our home. Thank you all for your support, advice, and your involvement in making Jackson become such an awesome toddler.<br />

I got my returns done, but couldn't find what I wanted for the nursery or playroom. I'll have to keep shopping and remind myself that I don't have to have the nursery perfect when the baby gets here in 3 weeks b/c he or she probably won't use it much for months. Jackson has adjusted perfectly to his new bed and that was a major step in our adjustments. So next step will be to finish the playroom furniture wise this weekend and then do painting and curtains later on down the line. <br />
<br />
Jackson was excellent during our many ins and outs of the car and in the many stores. He had a bit of an attitude today, but often followed it with a smile or laughed with a monster face. He knows how to use his cuteness! He came home, we did a breathing treatment and headed to bed. He's all worn out and I'm looking forward to a nice quiet weekend home before it's back to work. <br />

We still have some work to do, but Jackson's back on schedule and doing wonderfully in his new bed! He was pretty subdued today due to his cough, but had enough energy to run around screaming whenever Russell or I would enter the room. He's talking more and more and helping me read parts in books. He also has begun to identify body parts pretty consistently. He's growing up too fast!<br />

I had a doctor's appointment (only 3 more until baby!) and then went to school to work on lesson plans. The boys spent a good bit of time putting together Jackson's new big boy bed. My Aunt Chris, Uncle Tim, and Aunt Peg went together to spoil the kids and got Jackson his very own bed so the crib (which they got a year and a half ago) will be ready for the new baby. We are so lucky to have such awesome family! Dad said Jackson was a big help. <br />
<br />
Since he was sleepy tonight, we decided to let him try it out. So far, so good! If he does get up and has trouble sleeping we have a few months to get him moved over, so I'm not worried. I can't believe he's ready for a big boy bed already! <br />

I'm really looking forward to having it all done. Jackson was a grouch today and just very much wanted to be alone. His cold is starting to take a toll on him. I'm hoping a couple days with Digger Dog and getting back into a good routine will have him up and ready to rumble by the weekend. <br />
<br />
While he wasn't in grouch mode, he was being very silly. So far he has mastered: eyes, hair, nose, mouth and belly. His newest- boogers. He things it's wonderful to show you where his boogers are- he's such a boy. So without further adieu- here is Jackson and his boogers.<br />

He had a fun day playing with all of his new toys and hopefully we'll be getting back into a normal routine tomorrow. We have started making good progress with transitioning to a 2 baby house by getting all the Christmas stuff put away. Tomorrow we'll start moving furniture and then I'll have the rest of break to prep diapers, decorate, and clean. I can't believe Jackson is going to be a big brother in just a few weeks!<br />

I missed hanging out with my side of the family, but I know I'll get to see them shortly! Jackson was spoiled beyond belief and we are going to spend the next few days rearranging and packing up some toys. I am only posting my top few pictures from today on the blog, but I will have a very full album on Facebook if you are interested.<br />
I hope you all had as great a time with your families as I did with mine. Merry Christmas everyone. <br />

I'm excited for Christmas, but looking forward to so quiet relaxation with Jackson next week too! I hope break doesn't go by too quickly. Merry Christmas Eve Eve everyone. </span>

Jackson got to meet Dad's guest this evening, a raccoon he had to trap who is currently living in our garage. Then we headed to Subway where he was very proud to show us that he could blow his nose. After that we went to the railroad depot and checked out the Christmas lights. Jackson wouldn't keep his hat on so we came home and had a bit of a relaxing before Jackson's bedtime. I have a long to-do list, but I think my swollen feet are saying to take it easy tonight. So I think I'll make Jackson his Christmas Jigglers tonight, work extra hard tomorrow afternoon/night, and pray that anyone coming to visit for Christmas understands that I'm pregnant, have a toddler with a cold, and doing the best I can to keep the house clean. Christmas on Sunday is very hard to manage. I just need one weekend day before the parties and festivities begin.<br />

We had our Christmas party at school today, I had a doctor's appointment (all is well), and then Walmart- I'm very aware today that the baby is coming soon! Jackson's asleep and gearing up for a big weekend and I think he has the right idea! The next 4 days will be very busy, but then we have a week of relaxation :)<br />

He was in a very independent mood and of course he wanted to touch everything and run around. The nice lady at Hopscotch sat and played with the trucks with him while I shopped as quickly as I could. Then when we were trying to check out, he decided he was going to run back to the store and play with the trucks again. After 4 tantrums and at least 6 games of chase- I finally paid for everything and we made it home. <br />
<br />
Before I finish laundry, I was super excited today because Jackson said "oh oh ah ah" like a monkey after reading his jungle book. I'm glad he likes monkeys as much as I do :)<br />

He doesn't seemed bothered by it in the least, so I'm thankful for that. He had a good day with Dad and surprised us tonight when he inhaled the biscuits and gravy that Russell made and then had 2 more servings. I guess he really is a West Virginia baby.

I got to hang out and play with him up until I served him dinner but then it was Dad's night. He did a great job and was sound asleep by the time I got home. This is a pretty late night for this pregnant mom on a Wednesday so I'm keeping it short. 5 weeks from now I will be starting my maternity leave. It's crazy to know it's so close!<br />

Please ignore the drool and slobber on me and Jackson his last 2 teeth for a while are giving us some trouble. Jackson working on his masterpiece. He is very particular about what colors he uses and where he writes. Definitely a budding artist (and that is definitely not something he gets from me!)</div>

I feel like it should be a Thursday at least! Jackson was a bit clingy and whiny tonight, but he took a late, long nap at Ms. Brenda's and I had to wake him up to bring him home. He was happy to get back to bed after dinner and a little bit of playing. He had a good time in his bath, but drained the water and promptly told me he was "dah" toddler talk for done. <br />
<br />
He really was loving on Mr. Monkey today and was not impressed that he could not hang out with Mr. Monkey while eating Barbeque ribs for dinner tonight. He was also not impressed that Mr. Monkey could not take a bath with him (though I need to find some time he's away from Mr. Monkey long enough to wash that thing!). He's all Dada's tomorrow night, so I hope he's in a better mood! I have our school Christmas concert, though I'm not sure how I'm going to survive it- it starts at 7:00- just when my pregnant butt is winding down from the day! Hopefully, besides diapers, there won't be a lot I need to do tomorrow night when I get home. <br />
<br />
Since he was glued to my side most of the night, we didn't have a whole lot of pictures, but we did have a pretty good cuddly night. Now that I've got dishes, trash, sweeping and cleaning done- I'm headed to bed to hopefully finish my book!<br />

He woke up in the fresh produce aisle, just in time to insist on the crazy expensive strawberries. Oh well, it's better than candy so I gave in. </div><div><br /></div><div>By the time we got home, cooked dinner, and ate- Jackson had about 15 minutes to play.

While he was running in the kitchen with Mr. Monkey, he slipped and hit the top part of the same eye. The poor kid is a wreck. Fortunately, it didn't effect his mood and though he was a sleepy kid (he took a 2 1/2 hour nap), he had a lot of fun today. We finished hanging ornaments on the tree and learned that we will have a few, soft, non-breakable ornaments high up on the tree for the next few years :) Jackson loved to pull them off and then throw them on the tree. He was quite distraught when they wouldn't just magically stay on the tree. </div><div>This was our last calm weekend until after the New Year so I'm going to head to bed early and try to enjoy the peace and quiet while I can. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTSR7ORjRZo/TuVYvctPWQI/AAAAAAAAFQk/tMkugIAZtH0/s1600/IMG_2420.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTSR7ORjRZo/TuVYvctPWQI/AAAAAAAAFQk/tMkugIAZtH0/s320/IMG_2420.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685047676808157442" style="display: block;

We didn't get a whole lot done other than making huge messes, but we had a good day overall. He wore me out, so today's post will be short, but it's full of pictures and captions. The story behind today's title is that for the last 3 days whenever Jackson has snack time and he gets angry he'll dump whatever goldfish he has and then stomps on them while he screams. Today he stomped the wrong way and went face first into the coffee table, leaving a nice bruise right next to his eye. So please excuse the black eye for the second half of the day's pictures :(</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YcSjWDjhefg/TuP6k58fcfI/AAAAAAAAFOA/awLoQxhskhI/s1600/IMG_2358.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YcSjWDjhefg/TuP6k58fcfI/AAAAAAAAFOA/awLoQxhskhI/s320/IMG_2358.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684662666608472562" style="display: block;

Since his shoes were too tiny, his gift just had a shoe on it. He even got a bonus gift in a package from Mamaw today too. So it was one spoiled little Friday. He must have been very appreciative because he was an angel this afternoon. He played nicely, asked for things nicely, and was just all around happy. </div><div><br /></div><div>After dinner, I thought it would be a good idea to go for a walk and look at lights. We got 2 streets away when he FILLED his diaper and threw a grand tantrum all the way home. Once home and changed though, he grabbed his new book and his new car and was a very happy little boy.

We had lots of fun, a hot breakfast, and took our time getting ready. I had training and got out early, so I went to pick up Jackson and he had just gotten up from a nap. Apparently that nap wasn't long enough because he was not a happy camper for the majority of the evening. A little bit of that was cured with reading books and an empty toy box, but not enough. So we scratched our dinner plans and made spaghetti instead. Right after spaghetti we finished putting away toys and diapers (Jackson loves to help clean up) and did bath and bedtime. He's cutting the last of his teeth for awhile, so hopefully he sleeps well. Tomorrow is Friday!</div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6_g7JvJWhI/TuFn73m0_hI/AAAAAAAAFIg/29Ei2pNkn8M/s1600/IMG_2314.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6_g7JvJWhI/TuFn73m0_hI/AAAAAAAAFIg/29Ei2pNkn8M/s320/IMG_2314.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938482955025938" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love my doggy</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDrikgRvqBU/TuFn7q2wSZI/AAAAAAAAFIQ/5_YsRNDB-HI/s1600/IMG_2315.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDrikgRvqBU/TuFn7q2wSZI/AAAAAAAAFIQ/5_YsRNDB-HI/s320/IMG_2315.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938479532165522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Hugs and kisses for Joe Dog</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eR2bkdqGeVY/TuFnvnXk8zI/AAAAAAAAFIE/ZJkvMzeU4LM/s1600/IMG_2322.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eR2bkdqGeVY/TuFnvnXk8zI/AAAAAAAAFIE/ZJkvMzeU4LM/s320/IMG_2322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938272437662514" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">He was stoked to see the snow this morning (not so excited to touch it)</div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5TeRLpdFyLE/TuFnukkjT9I/AAAAAAAAFH8/iCciXY6J3MI/s1600/IMG_2326.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5TeRLpdFyLE/TuFnukkjT9I/AAAAAAAAFH8/iCciXY6J3MI/s320/IMG_2326.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938254506905554" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Giving hugs to Gorilla</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YHn-VdPoRNA/TuFnuQeBqBI/AAAAAAAAFHs/ZmT1ISBJa0k/s1600/IMG_2328.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YHn-VdPoRNA/TuFnuQeBqBI/AAAAAAAAFHs/ZmT1ISBJa0k/s320/IMG_2328.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938249110824978" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Relaxing in his toy box</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oqzyxjbAkTg/TuFntahB1BI/AAAAAAAAFHk/ewMsQ8WBRzY/s1600/IMG_2331.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oqzyxjbAkTg/TuFntahB1BI/AAAAAAAAFHk/ewMsQ8WBRzY/s320/IMG_2331.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938234627904530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Why there are no more night pictures- this tantrum was brought to you by short naps and teething</div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c2yQvi4ZFIM/TuFntH2IplI/AAAAAAAAFHU/k08YcvfkXN4/s1600/IMG_2332.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c2yQvi4ZFIM/TuFntH2IplI/AAAAAAAAFHU/k08YcvfkXN4/s320/IMG_2332.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683938229616158290" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Finished salt dough hand print ornaments (minus the ribbon)</div><img src="http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz226/cutesieblogs/signatures/signature-ellen-1.png" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02456081077621515652noreply@blogger.com0
