T-ball and stuff

Logan had his second t-ball game today and he did really well. He had only a small meltdown at the very beginning and then played the rest of the game without a single problem. He was active and chasing the ball each time. He did great at batting and running the bases. I was so proud of him. The game was at 8 this morning so getting him up and dressed and in the car was a little rough...hence the small meltdown. Luckily is only lasted about five minutes and then he was all about playing the game. Landry was such a little princess...she was great at the field, but now that we are home she is being a squirt. The jibber jabbers ALL the time...Its constant, mommy mommy mommy, dada, nanny, puppy. Its as if she has a list of the words she can say and she just says them over and over again! LOL She went to bed at 7:30 last night and did great. I felt so bad for her because I knew she was so sleepy but I wouldn't let her go down until 7:30. I think this is why she is being such a little toot right now. I am pretty sure she is sleepy, but it is just now 11:00 and I dont want her to go down for a nap until 11:30. We have to get something going as far as a schedule and the weekend is probably the best time to figure it all out. This whole switching to one nap has thrown both of us for a loop and I just want to get back to knowing when she is going down for naps and bedtime...and its better for her as well. On the other hand, since getting home - Logan has been watching "Open Season 2". I haven't heard a peep out of him. I keep checking to see if he has fallen asleep, but he is just sitting on the couch watching the movie! I am so very proud of my kids...they are a constant reminder of how blessed I am and what a wonderful life I have.
JR is under the 320 mark....I told myself I would try to only blog about his weight loss no more than once a week. He weighs himself daily but we go by a weekly weigh in which is on Sunday, so I will try and keep the updates to Monday's only - starting this Monday. I am just so proud of him as well...I cant believe that less than two months ago he was nearly 60 pounds heavier!
We are planning a trip to the casino in Louisiana on April 16...only two weeks away...I am so excited I can barely contain myself. The next few months will probably go by quickly since we have lots of things going on. We have t-ball every Saturday until May 21. We have the casino in two weeks, and a wedding at the end of April. Then Mother's Day at the beach is quickly approaching, JR's birthday is May 13. Then there is my birthday on June 14th, followed by Father's Day on the river. We have Aiden's second birthday party at the beginning of July - which I SERIOUSLY can't believe that nearly 2 years have gone by. Davin turns 5 in August...whew looks like we are going to have a busy summer! I can't wait!
JR and I are aparently having a little communication issue. I pretty much got tired of telling him the same things over and over again, so I figured its just easier not to say anything at all.
EXAMPLE: Me: JR can you please stop leaving you dirty socks in the living room
JR:yeah, sure thing
(the next day)
Me: JR, you left you dirty socks in the living room again
JR: I know, I was going to get them later
(the next day)
Me: JR, I had to pick up your socks again this morning.
JR: Oh man, I forgot, I'm sorry
(the next day)
Me: 10:00pm - JR please dont forget to pick up your socks
JR:ok, you dont have to remind me...I know, I'll do it before I go to bed
(the next day)
I pick up the socks for him and I just stop saying anything because I find it more frustrating to ask him to do something that he isn't going to do. So after a couple of weeks I got upset about him not taking out the trash that I asked him to do, and I throw in the fact that I have been picking up his socks everyday for weeks. They dont just magically make there way to the laundry basket ya know! So he asks why I dont remind him..and I tell him that when I have to say the same thing over and over it makes me feel like a nag, and I know he isn't going to do it anyway, so its just easier to do it myself. He tells me I need to be better at communicating---ughhhh. So this past Monday after dinner I say, "Hey babe, thanks for washing out your dish, but if you could just take that extra step and put the dish in the dish washer, it would really help." Tuesday - "JR, I know I asked you yesterday, and starting a new habit is hard, but if you could put your dish in the dishwasher, I would really appreciate it. Wednesday comes - "Hey babe, what are you supposed to do with the dish after you've rinsed it?" He says, "okay, SARA - I get it, you can stop telling me." But obviously he doesn't get it and I need to remind him because he still isn't doing it, right? So on Thursday I say nothing and guess what - he forgot AGAIN. Last night, I finish my dinner and I take my bowl to the sink...and again, his bowl has been washed out - but its still in the sink - So I say, "JR, your doing really great at washing out the dishes you use, but if you could please just put the dish in the...." He cuts me off and tells me to stop nagging him - he will do it! So I have no idea what in the hell I am supposed to do. Am I communicating or am I nagging. Trust me, its easier to just not say anything and just do it myself, but then he tells me to communicate, and remind him. I do that, and then he says I am nagging. humph!
Now, after all of that - let me just say that this is only a very small thing...obviously we need to figure it out, but JR and I are very lucky to have such a good marriage. Sure we have some small issues but I couldn't love him more. He is a hard worker, a wonderful provider, and an amazing father and husband. We hardly ever fight anymore - we, of course, still have arguements here and there - butoonly because he hasn't learned that I am always right! LOL The point is, we have a great marriage, but there will always be some issue or another, and in a way I love that. It means that we have something to work on and we wont get complacent in the marriage. And lets face it, with all my flaws - I am sure we will certainly ALWAYS have something that needs to be worked on!LOL
