It is 9:00am and the sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky! Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day - hot, most likely - but beautiful. I just found out that they do storytime here at the Kyle Library for toddlers at 10:30 and preschoolers at 12:00 on Wednesdays. I am going to take them tomorrow, instead of going twice a week to Buda. We will give it a try tomorrow, my only worry is that being there for over two hours might throw a monkey wrench in the kids behavior. The other problem is that the preschooler time falls during Landry's nap time - so we will have to see how it goes. It would be easier for me to do it all in one day - but it may be easier for the kids if I drive over to Buda (about 15 min) and divide between tuesdays and wednesdays. So we will give tomorrow a try and if doesn't go so well we will go to Buda next week to see how that works out. I am going to try to get the kids to go to the mall in Austin today. Buy a few outfits and take them over to the wild flower center. I would love to buy Landry a big fluffy dress, but I also know I need to be practical and buy her a pretty dress she can wear more than once. I have had a hard time finding clothes for Logan. I never really like the "t-shirts" in the boys section, so I end up buying dress shirts or polo shirts - which will work greak for Easter photos, but when it comes to daily life - well, he needs some regular t-shirts. I have tried Target, Kohls, and Wal-mart...so I am hoping I can find something at the mall. I also need to get the poor kid some new underwear. I didn't really notice until Last night after bathtime. He usually puts his own underwear and shorts on after I lotion him up, but I did it last night - and well...his undies are 3T/4T...I had a bit of trouble getting them up his lotioned legs! He needs 4T/5T or maybe just 5T I am thinking even 4T will be too small since he does where 5T or youth smalls. It's pretty much the youth smalls...sometime we can find some 5T's that fit him, but not always. Its really hard for me to go to the boys sections in a store and not shop in the baby section for him anymore. Of course, I have been doing it for a year now...but it still hits me every time. My little baby boy isn't a baby anymore. Soon I will be taking him to the junior department and he wont want me to come in the dressing room with him anymore. And the heart wrenching thing is that soon after that stage, he will just be asking me for money so he can get what he needs by himself - and he wont want me there at all! Ughhh - I seriously hate thinking about him growing up. Is it so wrong to want him to be my little boy for forever?? StinkerBell is getting so big - way too fast as well. It doesn't hit me the way it does with Logan, but I am sure that it will soon. JR has nicknames for them and it was so funny because last night at dinner Logan looked at me and said, "Mommy, I'm fat boy and sissy is pretty girl" I just looked at JR and we burst out laughing. Of course I have nicknames for them as well, but Logan is usually "Logey", and Landry is usually "stinkerbell". Logan also has Loginator, Logey bear, prince charming, baby boy and pumpkin butt. Landry has sissy, princess, baby girl, and Lulu. I guess we have a lot of nicknames for them. Landry also has Bella, which is kind of reserved for Carol (JR's mom). She is the only one that calls her that - and I love it. Its like a special little bond between a grandmother and her only granddaughter. As for now, its the only granddaughter she will ever have, because as far as Lacy, Jason, and JR - we are all finished having babies...her only option left is Brittany - and she seems pretty content being a mommy to her puppy. LOL
I will say that as Landry starts to near that two year birthday, I start thinkng of having one more child. I am so back and forth on the subject and until I am 100% sure one way or the other I am not going to do anything. At this point, I think its just me trying to hold on to the idea of babies. Mine are growing up - they walk and talk, Logan needs me less and less, as does Landry - and I miss the feeling of having them need me so completely. However, that isn't a good enough reason to have another baby..especially when I remember that they do grow up and then what - do I just keep having babies every two years....i dont think so. Plus, when I start to think about what total dependence means, I think of the waking up, the feeding, the sleepless nights, having another c-section, and while none of that lasts forever - that's kind of my point. I actually miss nursing my babies - but they grow up and start to take a bottle, then a sippy cup, and on and on until one day you look up and they are graduating. If I was to get pregnant, I would take it as a blessing, but I am about 85% sure that I dont want to have any more children. Plus, I want to go to cosmetology school and get my license and have a job that I love so that hopefully 5-10 years down the road I can open my own shop, run my own business, and be my own boss. I love my babies more than anything and I could probably have another 5 of them, but it would be for some pretty selfish reasons and that isn't fair. Maybe when both kids are in school and I have my license and have been working for a little while I could have another one - at least then it wouldn't be as financially irresponsible...but that is about 4-5 years down the road, and I am okay with that. But it sure seems like I am following in my moms footsteps! LOL she got married to my dad a week before my birthday - I married JR a week before Logan's birthday...Randi and I are 22 months apart and Vanessa is 6 years younger than me...Logan and Landry are 31 months apart, and if we decide to have another baby, Landry and the next one will be about 6-7 years apart. Funny how no matter what we say when we are younger, we actually do start to become our parents (at least in some ways)as we get older! Not to mention that we understand them a hell of a lot more! LOL
