Not My Child Monday



Let's talk a little bit about what my child did NOT do this week.

Caden most certainly did NOT wake up 3 times last week and refuse to stay in his own crib. He did not stare at the ceiling, toss and turn, and poke his fingers up my nose for 3 hours before falling back asleep. Nope, not Caden. He also did NOT wake up at his normal waking time of 7am after a rough night of sleep either with his feet in my face. All this waking up did NOT send me into a panic over having another child although I know God will provide.

Caden eats his dinner like a champ every night. He did NOT start chucking food across the kitchen at the dog thinking it was the most hysterical thing he's done yet. He also did NOT reach is hand into the dog's food bowl and scatter dog food across the entire kitchen. Caden knows how much Mommy likes a clean kitchen, so he would never do that!

Speaking of our dog, Mia - Caden loves her very much, but only on his terms. You know that phrase, "you are so cute, I could just eat you up?" Well, Caden does NOT love Mia that much where he would try and take a bite out of her tail. Not Caden. He would never do that.

Finally, he also did NOT scare his parents to death Sunday afternoon when he took a tumble down the basement stairs. (His parents did NOT mistakenly leave the door open either). Thank the Lord above he only came out of it with the tiniest of all scratches near his eye.

Not me! Monday



This weekend sure did go by fast, didn't it? I never want my weekends to end. I love being home with Caden and Ryan. Saturday was Ryan's birthday. We had a wedding to attend (my best friend's brother). We got there around 7pm, but the bridal party did not show up until after 8pm. While we were waiting I most definitely did not go through all the pictures of Caden in my phone over and over again. I couldn't help myself. I missed him terribly that night. My friend Nina (groom's sister) is 6 months pregnant. She was standing up in the wedding and look absolutely beautiful. She has such a glow to her that I definitely miss. We have a joke that Caden's future wife is in her belly.

Everyone was pretty hungry and anxiously waiting to eat. I felt like I could eat a horse. I did not think about sneaking by the buffet to grab a bread roll. Finally a few people said some words. The mic was handed to the maid of honor and there she pulls out two 8 x 11 pieces of paper. I did not think to myself "you have go to be kidding me?! I'm starving girl!" She was reminicing about every memory her and her sister shared and repeated the word 'awesome' more times than I ever wanted to hear. In all honesty, she loves her sister and she just doesn't want to let go of what they have. It was really sweet looking back, but at the time I did not want to bang my head on the table. By the time we ate it was near 9pm. I most certainly did not fill my plate as if I was eating for two and I was not the first one done with my food at the table. Not me!

We didn't stay long after dinner because Ryan wanted to have a few drinks for his birthday out with his cousin and a few friends. I did not secretly wish he would rather go home and veg. We went out, we made it, and I did not go through all of Caden's pictures once again at the bar. I mean how could I not?

Not me! Monday



I've decided to join in on the Not me! Monday fun. If you decided to join in too, please make sureyou click on the Not me! Monday button that links back to MckMamma's blog for the rules :)

Last week I was out sick on Wednesday. Ryan had to help his cousin move, so I stayed home with Caden for a few hours in the afternoon. I was feeling miserable with my cold, so I did not sneak out to Kohls and buy some new clothes to help me feel better and not tell anyone.

Caden came down sick and this weekend because he caught Mommy's cold. I felt so bad for my little man and just wanted him to be healthy and happy. I did not give him juice when I said he would not have juice until he was closer to one. (BTW, he loved it!)

I did not cry my eyes out at 4am on Sunday because Caden would not sleep and I wanted Ryan to wake up and let me go to sleep.

I did not Caden watch Baby Einsteins on repeat several times, so I could clean the house on Friday.

I had to have a cyst removed this past Friday and I did not act like the biggest baby when the doctor gave me a shot to numb it. She told me she needed to give me one more shot, but I did not tell her she was crazy if she thought she was going to do that again. She went ahead with the procedure while I was 1/2 numb. Ouch!
