Motherhood

So I finally have time to add something besides photos to my blog. Let's see Jonas is clapping now, he can almost walk, and I am busy saving him from hurting himself. I have been teaching him sign language and he can say food and dirty diaper and bye bye and give me . I am still unsure why I taught him give me at the time I thought it would be good to know what he wanted. Um... mistake. Although I have been realizing that sing language can be used against you as well, like when he knows it is nap time and he tries insisting he has a dirty diaper, when he evidently doesn't since you changed it two minutes before that time. He is also learning to put everything in his mouth today he ate carpet and was gagging, so once again I rescued him. I have even found him eating old kitty litter talk about gross.

I am also busy babysitting another four year old little girl and teaching her kindergarten material. I am involved in Mothers of Preschoolers group, and am in charage of a playgroup for our church, in my "special time. " I am training for a road race in November, learning to crochet, and trying to bake one new thing a week (so far I have made homemade bread and coffee cake.)

Wow two post in one day world record for me.

Some photos of Jonas boy!

Another funny story about Jonas. We were at our friends the other night and they have a little girl a month older than Jonas. The little girl had brought her dolly out to play with it. After a little while we were eating and Jonas was playing with toys. I then look over to see Jonas on top of the dolly french kissing her. My friends were laughing hysterically and Ben was saying, "That's my boy!" I was kind of embarrassed and so I said, "Jonas come here," and went to pick him up. When I went to pick him up he would not leave the dolly's mouth alone. After a lot more prying and tears I finally got the dolly away. When I looked at the dolly I realized why he was so enamored with her mouth evidently she had a left over cracker piece in it.

Today I was eating lunch in the kitchen. I had laid Jonas down in the play room right next to the kitchen. After a little while I was not hearing anything from the play room . Which I know from experience that it signals something isn't right. So I went to the play room and Jonas was nowhere in sight. So I began to panick. I ran to the back rooms in the hallway and once I passed the bathroom door I looked in and to my shock Jonas was standing up right next to the toilet holding onto the seat and gumming it.

Scary Moment

So yesterday I about panicked because Jonas fell off the couch. I thought for sure something was going to be wrong with him and it did not help when I called my mom who is a nurse practioner and she gave me all the symptoms of having a brain injury such as sleeping more, dialation in the eyes, high pitch screaming, ect. I monitored closely all day yesterday, thankfully nothing was wrong with him. I guess I am just a little protective. Anyhow here is a funny picture of Jonas. By the way this is taking me forever to type because Jonas is trying to type it to.

Job Change

So yesterday was my last day of teaching. I am now an official stay at home mom. It was bittersweet. I will miss many thing of teaching but there are a lot of things that I would miss if I stayed at home. I just hope that I can keep myself busy so that I don't go bonkers being at home all the time. We will see how I do I have a year to try it out!
