Well, I finally decided to get a blog going so I can remember things about my two kiddos growing up. I currently have a 7 month old little boy, Ethan, and a 21.5 month old little girl, Sofia. They are so awesome and the love each other so much it's really been a great journey. 

Today was a great day. I got a large stack of cash to use towards the purchase of a new cello from my husband for my birthday. Today we went and selected a cello and it was a lot of fun, but mostly I have a wonderful new cello. The best part of the gift is my husband is giving me the opportunity to start playing with a local group here again by "babysitting" for me on Tuesday nights!

So yesterday I was feeling guilty again about not spending enough time with my youngest. It's hard because Sofia, being a toddler, really demands a lot of attention. And poor Ethan just gets drug along to do whatever Sofia wants. 

Well yesterday I got the opportunity to spend some time with Ethan while daddy and Sofia watched a Dora the Explorer video (which she seldom gets to do). Ethan has this little toy he can do several ball related activities with. So here he was playing with these little balls taking them out of a hippo. Well I started showing him how to put them back and he did! And he is also learning how to clap! And he sprung his first tooth about 3 weeks ago  (almost 2 months later than Sofia). He really is a great little guy, I hope I get to spend more time with him before he's all grown up!

Sofia on the other hand, we spend morning and about an hour after work together every day. So we get to go grocery shopping and eat breakfast and play outside most days. Well when my husband Justin and Ethan come home things get hectic, dinner prep starts, etc. The thing is she typically prefers daddy at this point and lately it's kind of starting to hurt my feelings. I know she loves me, but sometimes when she says, "walk away mommy", it's really painful. I guess its because she sees my husband less and I tend to hold Ethan a lot when he's home (course that's because we're following Sofia around). Well I hope it's more of a phase thing, I don't need more, but equal would be good!

I feel like I'm just ranting, but I had a lot of thoughts going through my head tonight and it's good to finally start the blog. Hopefully in coming entries I can direct one issue at a time.
