A blender with the lid off.

Jerry Seinfield and his wife Jessica have three children together. I have one of her cookbooks. In it Jerry is quoted as saying " A two year old is like a blender with the lid off." Boy is that true. I actually took a nap today when Tanner did. I was SO tired. I don't generally nap but today I said I am just going to lay down for a minute and I was out. Being pregnant and having a two year old is very exhausting. I am now enjoying a few blissful moments of silence and headed off to bed. I do have lots of energy but with little ones you are always moving and I mean always moving. I love being a mama. I am excited about our 2nd boy on the way. I just am trying to live in the moment and turn over my fears to God about being a stay at home mom to two boys just three years apart. I know the day to day will be hard. I am excited. I have tons of support and thankful for that. Tanner is a doll these days but oh so busy. We took him to Disney on Sunday and we all had a blast. His favorite was the Pirates. He got his first Mickey ears and of course they were pirate ears. I am so thankful for things to do. Disney, the ymca, playdates, lake trips, going to Lakeland, MOPS, dollar movies, library, and outings. I am not one to sit around. Even having the swingset, sandbox, and yard are vital to raising boys. If you have a boy I highly recommend reading "Boys adrift" Dr. Modders recommended it and I am learning a lot. Boys need to feel and touch and experience. They have to get their hands dirty so to speak. With all the technology and video games and ipads ect outside time is even more crucial. We had a great time Sunday. Yes it was hot but we enjoyed time as a family. I look forward to our family beach trip soon. I have been working with Tanner in the pool and he is really starting to swim now. What a high energy, fun, smart little boy. Grateful I get to be his mommy!
