weekend away

I spent this last weekend with some old friends in Las Vegas. Leaving my family was hard but I was excited to spend some time with guys. Now back home I can say I really missed them. Waiting at the airport was hard I really wanted to see my family. To see my wife and son. Now back taking care of Preston he seems to be bigger more vocal. Spending those days away enabled me see Preston not as my baby boy but my little man. He has grown to be a toddler. j

Turn

I turn around and what do I see but Preston climbing everything I see. The boy has found his climbing legs. He also runs too. The game is getting a little faster now and there is less margin error. Now if I could only get him to say his p's because I'm just a little tired of being called mamma. j

Climbing

A while back Preston started to climb on his chair. We would tell him to sit down so he would not fall and hurt himself. Months later Preston has become a little more adventurous. For weeks he has been contemplating climbing his highchair and has finally planted his flag at the top. He has only fallen once and at that time he just brushed himself off and climbed back up. There is a silver lining in this, Preston still listen when I tell him to sit down before he hurts himself. j

At Play

This morning Preston and I played truck. He would push the truck to me and me to him. We had a so much fun and on our walk with Lucy we found a beetle on the ground and with no hesitation Preston picks up the beetle and starts to play with it. I freak out thinking he might get bit by the beetle. I over reacted. Later in the day we hit the beach, we did not go prepared, we did not stay long. We stopped by the tank on the way to the Salem common to play a little more. J

Happy

The last couple of days have been hard for me, it all started on friday night where I could not sleep, felt cold not well on saturdays ride and called it short and came home and slept, sunday felt a little better so I went for short run but did not feel well after, drove to see the fam on fathers day by then I was feeling a little better, monday is when everything turned for the worse, the morning was I knew I did not feel great but the day just got worse and I just need to survive the day. Preston was very understanding, He was great and gave me the strength and motivation to get through the day. When Holly came home it was a relief, it enabled me to be sick and to take care of myself. Holly was also home on tuesday this was a god send I was still a little sick by 9am I knew things have turned for the better but I was just exhausted and need to rest and she enabled be to do so. Thank You. By the evening I was eating again and gaining my energy back. wednesday I was in good moods and feeling healthy once again. no work outs planned just me and the Bubs having fun, my appeitte not fully back but close, had a full dinner which was nice since I just had fasted for 2 days. thursday is the day to get back to my work outs play with the bubs as much as I can since mommy stayed home for interviews she get the bubs when she wants. so I am much happier being sick showed me something about life how to make it easier to enjoy it and live it the best you can. it was a good thing I did get sick. j

Growth

Preston is getting his own ideas. There are thing he wants. Things he wants to do, but being only sixteen months the world is not ripe for the taking and he does not understand why. J

A day of Trucks

In the past few weeks Prestons new world has been Truck. So we have had a blitz on all the construction in our area. We watched them move earth up at the Y, repair the side walks on our street. Any truck on the road will turn his little head. So we got him a book of trucks at the Barnes & Noble, he has not put it down yet. Truck Love. J
