Ikie love corn on the cob
















Question/Answer time

Just for my husband....we all know how he enjoys this stuff. If you need to ask...yes...I will force him to read this:



1: What is the best thing about being a mom? I would have to say that it is watching Ikie become himself. His little personality is already starting to show. He is a wild man, but very kind and loving. He loves to be loud and show us his muscles even though he is a such a little guy.

2. What is the toughest part of being a mom? For me, this is discipline. I am such a softy with this guy. Devin gets mad at me because he does try to discipline and I always tell him to give into Ikie. Devin usually quotes me because I tell him.."oh, he is not hurting anything...just let him be." Devin will tease me and exagerate the situation and say "ok, lets just let him play with knives." Another tough part is learing to eat really fast. I really love food and love to enjoy it. Ikie always knows when I am trying to eat! GRRR.

3. What television mom do you compare yourself to? I really can't say. I am not a Mrs. Brady or Mrs. Cosby. I am not a Peggy Bundy. Maybe a little like Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond. I say that because I am usually just a little agitated with Devin the way that Debra is with Ray. I am agitated that women have to multi-task. I am agitated that I am so tired all time.

4. What suprises me with Ikie? I am so surprised at how much my kid loves fruits and vegetables. I honestly believe that his body is craving them because he did not get one fruit or vegetable the entire 9 months that I was pregnant. I was starving and wanted pizza, hot dogs, and foods like that!

3 weeks

is a long time to have NO daycare. Luckily, my parents were able to stay with us for the past 3 weeks to babysit Isaac while we worked.
My parents took Isaac to the zoo, to the play area in the mall, out to eat, to the kids museum and on the boat. They had a great time. They danced a lot in the living room, and took Isaac in his pool outside. He would make my parents go in the pool with him and say "papa..shoes off....grandma...shoes off."
Isaac was sick at the beginning of the vist. He luckily he got over that quickly. He had a high fever but that was pretty much it.
My poor parents did get in a car accident too. That was a bit scary for everyone! They were hit on their way home from Walmart. Their car was totally wrecked. Isaac was perfectly fine. Thank God for car seats. My parents were a bit sore for sometime...I think they are still sore. They could not drive their car home, it had to be sent to Chicago and they drove a rental home. We are very lucky that no one was seriously hurt.
I will try to post more soon, I got to run. I am addicted to Teen Mom on MTV! :)
