Dinner with Preschoolers Isn't Any Better Then Dinner with Toddlers

Dinner at my house is madness at best! Even when it starts out great it fizzles out within minutes. It is me and the two boys at the table from around 5:15 - 6:30ish!!
If I don't badger them, they are begging for snacks an hour later when they get out of bed. I try to avoid that by making sure they eat something at dinner. Most of the times I am offering time outs and spend the entire hour bribing and spoon feeding. UNREAL how aggravating dinner time can be. Other meals... NO problem. Dinner AWFUL! Is it worth it?? This day I decided to roll with the punches.

Dinner started ok, then quickly turned to hand puppets, ducking under the table and then making faces! Everything is funny when you are 3 and 4 I guess.

Have you met my lovey??

Meet Ben! He is the most adorable pup in my world! Just look at that face~!

Just as frisky as he is cute.

But look at those little puppy eyes!

He does however have some major quirks that I have and will continue to blog about.

Pregnant again............ Oh the Fondness and Joys!

Things were going right along pretty well for the first month aside from some scares... Then month 2 out of no where I was blind sided by MAJOR, and I mean MIND BLOWING MAJOR, allergies!!!!! AND, I can't take much of anything that will actually provide relief!!! My asthma is acting up non-stop even on the highest doses of my inhalers, I have had a sexy, raspy man voice for more then 6 weeks, sore throat, sneezing, running nose, stuffy and more!! I can't even yell at my boys properly.

This past week I have put on 2 pounds too. Just out of no where my gut won't suck in and I get distended after eating.. I was doing so so well too... I had been thinking about taking my first pregnancy photo and then quickly rethought that after my gut decided to pop up. And not in a low cute belly area type of way, but in this odd puffy in the upper gut area.... Like right between my pants line and my bra. Just awfulness...

Oh, and I have yet again started to pee myself when sneezing, coughing and laughing to hard if my legs aren't pinned close together. That has been a bit annoying as well considering the allergies I am having.. I SNEEZE AND COUGH ALL DAMN DAY!!! Good thing I wear liners.

Oooowww, did I mention the pain in the uterus area when you sneeze?!?!? It is crazy.. I have to try to pre-prepare for one of those by curling onto a ball and squeezing my legs shut to lessen the shooting pains and urination!!!

Oh and "The Office" a once favorite show of ours bid farewell to the Main character, Michael. He has nothing to do with being pregnant but the amount of snot and tears that came flowing out of me during that episode are all to do with being pregnant. It was embarrassing and horrible. I couldn't stop it.. Had no control of myself.

And the Double edge swords: Heartburn has started to set in but I love and crave spicey foods right now.... I am working out often and always thirsty but I am waking to pee at least once a night so I am exhausted.

Who are the women who enjoy being pregnant that my husband talks about and acts like he knows??!!??! I don't know them.. and I know he certainly doesn't.

What Have The Boys Been Up To?

The boys and some of their friends, from our Striding days,(which really means their friends outside of Logan's school, since we still Stride)played soccer together and rounded out the season with a day of balloon soccer and trophy's.


Gymnastics session 2 also ended with a first place ribbon and award as well as a chance to stand on the 1st place winners block. This is not them on the winners block.
Using up all of grampy's gas for a day of fun in the yard. I don't think he was ever happier to see me pull in the driveway to take them home, after they had stayed for the weekend!!!
Making use of large boxes was fun but keeping them out of the way for the rest of the week that the boys got to play with them was not so fun.
And my little sweet faces acting as if they hadn't just been wrestling on the ground minutes before causing tears and screams. Mommy called a mandatory apple snack break!

Have You Met My Space?

Here are a few photos of small area of my space. Showing you the big picture would just not be pretty.......
Sunday Cup Feeding Sets waiting for packaging
Dresser with Diaper Babies and Sweets supplies by gender
My cutting, creating table, which also opens up to become a sewing serging table or folds down to become half the size of what you see.
Some of the sweets all packages up and ready to go
Slippers in various stages and sizes

Where I sew, so that I can not wake the boys.. This closes up and looks like an end table.


We are actually spread out a bit.

BePeBaby.com is taking up space at my home, my mothers home, my aunts home, my grandmothers home, and a very sweet seamstress we found last year's home.

My house has one closet, one bedroom, a space in the living room, shelving in the basement and a cabinet in the office. Ha ha it is even worse then it sounds. I just recently moved out of the office and living room area and moved into a bedroom because BePe Baby was taking over our home :)

My mother was in part of her living room and a bedroom and has since cleared out and moved down to her finished basement area, plus a space in her living room.

Waiting it Out!

I have lost the ability to bargain with my youngest. At close to age 3, when it comes to most things, he is stubborn as all heck. When it comes to eating, he is down right impossible.

I normally battle with dinner time because vegetables and meats are involved more often and we are home and not rushing off. This child will sit at the table for over an hour refusing to eat. He will watch us eat treats and desserts after dinner and still not eat a bite or two of (insert whatever we have asked him to eat).

On the days that we are able to get him to take a bite or two of the foods; he will keep them stuffed in his cheeks for HOURS! Through various time-outs, bath times and time stuck at the dinner table he will keep it shoved in his cheeks. Most nights he is late for bath-time and pushing bedtime and we have to have him spit most of it out to brush his teeth.

He has been known to take 2+ hours of crying, convincing and battling to swallow most of a bite of carrot, red pepper or chicken. The other night at my parents; my mother thought she was sly. She handed him a half an ice cream sandwich to eat once he swallowed his bite of carrot. We'll guess what? He won AGAIN. He ate the freaking ice cream around the carrot and when he finished, he still had it in his cheeks.

This morning it is a bite of eggs. We finished breakfast around 10:00 asking him to eat 3 bites of egg. His brother ate his 3 and got down. We all cleaned up and played, reminding him to eat. He finally at 11:15 put one bite in his mouth. it is now 12:30 and he is still sitting there with that one bite of egg in his cheeks. This kid is nuts! He has been at the table now for more then 2 hours and still will not eat. Talk about stubborn. He has been like this since about 16 months.

You might be thinking, maybe it is a sensory thing.... Well he will eat these same or similar texture foods so long as they are not meat or veggies. Most fruits, snacks, junk foods etc. are gobbled up.. Almost no meats or veggies are even tasted much less consumed.

So I am off to get him down and throw the remainder of the food away, which has now been out too long to be safely eaten anyway!!!!! NUTS!! He is so lucky he's cute. I have been beaten again by a not even 3 year old.

A Community of People I Love!

Since becoming a mother, I have opened up my life to a continuously growing group of moms. Teaching Stroller fitness classes and a mom's boot camp style class, organizing a mother's group, starting a baby boutique, and becoming friends with an overwhelming number of local mothers.

This group of moms is dedicated to helping each other out, listening, sharing and understanding. Being a mom is the best job in the world and it is also a huge responsibility. It can be overwhelming, isolating and frustrating. Every moms needs someone to share with, who can understand her joys and frustrations and quite frankly MOST dad just don't get it and grandparents forget.

Just a thought I wanted to share. If you are a moms of young ones, look for a group near you. Google mother's groups. I use Meetup, big tent and facebook for the most part, but there are many places to look. Don't be alone, you don't have to be.
