Baby has been standing next to this toy to play – I of course put him there and stand behind him for when he gets tipsy. He pushes/leans on it to play and many times pushes it forward and just walks right behind it. 5 Months is coming 
are we skipping crawling?
sometimes you just have to not worry
Today was one of those days I just didn’t worry that my son stayed home from school. He said he was sick, which I totally didn’t believe, but decided against making him go to school and let him stay home. After I called the school he came bouncing out of his room – really sick huh? He said his stomach hurt, the flu is going around so whatever I’ll tell you this though…. when I was in the 1st grade (Dad I’m telling on you) my Mom was out of town so we were home with Dad. I woke one morning crying and saying I didn’t feel good. He made me go to school saying I just missed Mom and I threw up all over the reading table with everybody sitting there. It was horrible! K – I’m done telling on you Love ya!
Today was fun – we made Blushing Apples and played Cribbage. He’s napping now, they are actually BOTH napping! Woah!! It’s like my 10 minutes of quiet time as I’m sure baby won’t last long napping. In an hour or so we’ll be adding 3 kids to the mix, that’s when the REAL fun starts. Trying to keep them out of the tree and away from the train under the tree and away from all the other stuff.
This is big for me to just not worry about something. Usually I would have made him go to school just because I think he should be there. I’m such a hard ass. But today I’m glad I let him stay home. It was a fun day And a little extra Mom time for him isn’t a bad thing – he’s always so good about letting baby have me all the time.

you’re more worried about the post aren’t you?
I can’t think of a title right now. Probably because this is just a quick post with no real subject. Maybe just a bunch of yada yada yada shit. I started my crafty stuff for the Holiday Season. I LOVE this time of year, as I say every year, it’s so gosh darn homey feeling. I’m making snowflakes and reindeer. Will post pictures soon/later, whichever works for me. Tonight is tree night hopefully. That’s the plan anyway. Yesterday while my son was showering I slipped a note under the door that said….. Sunday Night… You, Me and a Christmas Tree… Love, Mom. He loves stuff like that, he came out with the HUGEST smile on his face with a little hop in his step. It’s so funny when he’s all excited. It’s going to be a pain to have the tree up with all the construction going on in the living room, but we’ll put it in the least messy spot and just deal. I want to be decorated for Thanksgiving. We have no snow still which makes it feel weird to be dragging the tree in. Maybe the tree will make it snow I don’t really like snow, I’d just like a little on the ground for decorating purposes.
Baby is good as ever. His favorite thing right now is his walker. He follows me around the kitchen and I constantly trip over him. This morning I was trying to clean my floor and put some stuff away and he ended up going in circles trying to follow me – it was rather hilarious. It’s awesome when he heads for you because he gets this look of determination on his face and when he gets there he reaches for you – I LOVE IT!
He’s turning into such a big boy/toddler. You can’t hold him anymore without him trying to climb all over you and help you talk on the phone, take a drink, write a note, whatever it is you’re trying to do. When we’re at the computer he has to type with me which means things are closing and opening and we have additional letters in our words and all kinds of fun stuff. My baby is already growing up 
Just a couple days ago a couple friends told me how great I looked since being pregnant, it’s no lie…. I looked horrible at that time. That made my day so much for them to notice and let me know. Sometimes a little pick me up is all we need.
Hugs to all!!
