And I'm Back!

I feel good. Really, really good. I feel like my regular self for the first time since Louisa was born. I'm truly enjoying all three of my children and feel like everything is more or less under control (might as well enjoy this feeling while it lasts!). I'm in a good groove with the kids and life is busy but manageable. I'm working out regularly and can fit in all of my 'old' clothes. I even have had a couple nights of decent sleep! Things are going so smoothly that I have started reading a book--now, that's amazing.

In other news.....Laney confuses 'marshmallows' with 'mushrooms'--now, there's something that she needs to get straightened out---big difference, big, big difference. Tonite, she was sipping hot chocolate and asked for a spoon to 'get the mushrooms'.

I overheard Laney telling Elliot that he didn't have 'good nursing breasts'. Interesting....!

Elliot has finally started to watch a little tv. Finally. And I'll admit, it makes my life easier that he will actually sit with Laney for 20 minutes and watch a show while I make dinner.

Elliot has started to blame things on Louisa---he'll run up to me and very seriously tell me that Louisa took one of his trains or pinched him! Laney finds this hilarious.

Elliot's a pretty funny little guy right now. He's often running around half (or completely) naked (he can take off all of his clothes-and I've kind of given up on re-dressing him over and over----he does use the potty when he's naked-so at least he's getting some 'practice'). And he's become quite the little lobbyist---when it's bedtime, he'll argue that he took a 'good, good nap'.
