Brought to you by The Princess...
The Princess being my second child has not ever gotten me ALL to herself. Luckily for me, she is a snuggler.
The Superhero was not.
He liked to be held, but did not care to hang out with/on you, ever. He is just too busy.
The Princess on the other hand LOVES hanging out with me.
So, we have a new thing after her nap we do together, since she gets up at least 20-30 minutes before The Superhero.
I bring her with her blankie and her binkie and we snuggle on the couch watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She just sits there and lays on me.
And I love every minute of it!
This is by far, my FAVORITE Mommy Moment with her.

Mommy Moment Monday
This week's MMM post is brought to you by The Superhero.
I learn a lot from The Superhero. He teaches me patience (sometimes), not to get frustrated with him (he tells me all the time), and that I REALLY need to watch what I am saying while I am around him!
He was reading a firetruck book with The Daddy last week and got to the page with the steering wheel. He started pushing the fake horn and saying "Get out of my way!". The Daddy asked where he learned that, he said "Mommy".
The Daddy said, "Oh, mommy does that when she is driving?"
The Superhero, "Yep."
Oh great! The little tattle tailor! I will have you all know, I do NOT honk my horn often enough for him to learn THAT from me! Now the yelling "Get out of my way", I will take credit for!
Then yesterday we were going to pick up my mom from her house and 3 kids were running across her yard. Then without thinking (clearly) I said, "What are those stupid kids doing in NaNa's yard?" (I know, I know, I hate the word stupid and there I went and used it, in front of the loud mouthed 3 year old!)
I told him that Mommy should not have said that and that it was not very nice. I meant to say "silly" kids.
Then my mom gets in the car and we see the kids as we are driving away and he says something like "Look NaNa, the STUPID kids!"
Oh, great! What am I teaching this kid?

Mommy Moment Monday
Today's post is brought to you by Zane...
I took him to the bathroom at my grandparent's house last night and after he went potty, I decided to go as well.
After I had "gone" potty, he said "Good girl mommy, you went potty all by yourself!"
He was so sincere and SO cute! Love it!

Mommy Moment Monday
So, even though I am VERY sick today and have been in bed all day, I HAD to type up this Mommy Moment because it is HILARIOUS and well, today is Mommy Moment Monday. :) Enjoy!
A little background: We teach our kids simple sign language when they are babies/toddlers. Just a couple that help make communication easier for all of us. So I taught The Princess the signs for "All Done" and "More". She never really picked up any others.
Fast forward to last night: We had just finished dinner at my parents house and were hanging out on the couch. The Princess climbed up in my lap and was being the usual snuggly girl that she likes to be.
Then she sat up and did the sign for "More". She did not just do it once, she was repeatedly showing me the sign for "More". I kept asking her "More of what?"
Then all of a sudden, she dove at my chest and tried to pull my shirt off! I guess she "told" me what she wanted! She has NEVER done this before! And I only nurse her at bedtime/in the middle of the night, so this was very unusual for her to do!
We all started laughing, I could not stop! I went in the kitchen and got her a snack instead of what she actually asked for. But it was HILARIOUS last night!

Mommy Moment Monday
I LOVE having a little girl! I painted The Princess' toe nails for the first time on Friday morning. I am in love with little pink toes.

Mommy Moment Monday
This week's Mommy Moment just breaks my heart!
Yesterday was pump site change day for The Superhero. I also decided we would change his Dexie site as well. We were still getting good numbers out of it and we were on day 9, but the tape was starting to really peal up, so it was time for it to be changed.
The Superhero's mood was a little off due to not taking a nap, but the sites needed to be changed anyway. Normally, he does his site changes with NO problems at all.
I got all the supplies ready and called him into the kitchen.
He opened his sucker as I prepped the pump site. This one is the more complicated one, so I did it first.
Prepped his skin, prepped pump, inserted new site, got pump all set up, primed, and ready to go. He did great!
Here is a picture of his pump site:
Then I prepped for the Dexie site. I find these sites to be pretty easy to put in, and normally, he has NO problems with them. But like I said, he was not in the best of moods because he did not take a nap.
He then told me that he did not want me to sit next to him. He was mad at me because I hurt him. :-(
I felt SO bad. He does not normally react that way, so it threw me off a bit.
Of course, later in the day he was fine and had "forgiven" me. Just not one of my favorite things to do to him. I hate Diabetes and I hate that we have to do these site changes to him, even if I know it is best for him.

We sat on the couch for this one. I cleaned his skin. Inserted new site. He cried. He said "That hurts mommy." I finished and got Dexie up and running.
