warm bed vs monkey

OK so as a mom we know there are those days where you don't want to get out of bed.... maybe you didn't sleep well... you dread that laundry you put off the day before......  you have company expected to come over and you have to prepair..... what ever you reason for not wanting to get up we all have the days.

  Today my bed was just so warm, I had not slept well, and I was not looking foreword to the day.
So after turning my alarm off to sleep a little longer, I felt my Monkey climb on to my bed. " mama, maaaammaaaa?" he whispered when I didnt answer he laid down next to me, humming to himself.

After a few moments of humming I relazed sleep was done so I rolled over to say morning.
" mama. hi.  jus got .... humm . da dog. ...food.  ha! then then gaa oo  woosh ( exaggerated with his arm whooshing out like a plane) an then mooor some go gowalk go? commoing mamam? "
Translation: Hi mama! the dogs want food. Funny dream of a plane flying in the sky. It goes woosh. I want to see more. Can we go walk and see more mama?


What was your reason to finally get out of bed? What is the silliest way your little has woke you up?

will you please sleep normally

               OK the past week or so my Monkey has stopped napping, He will either take a late " drop where i am" nap or none at all.  The days where he just drops he wont go to bed till midnight. and even when he does nap at a good time he will stay up.  I've tried to keep him up on days he doesn't nap so he will go to bed at 10 but he never seems to make it. and ends up waking up all night.

So the nights he wont sleep till 12 i have been getting him up early in hopes of putting him back in bed time track.  Sad part is this means i get even less sleep then ever ( well since he started sleeping throught the night)

So mamas and dadas out there has your tot gone on the sleep rollercoaster?? How did you handle it? Did you get them back in track???

New awesome healthy liked toddler snack

Oh my my i found a smack he loves.. not an apple or a banana and not cookies.

YOGURT
 normal right? wrong he likes to dip Ritz crackers in it!!!!! 


OK so how did this come to me? i gave him yogurt for snack, no big deal he was happy. Well seeing him eating made me hungry so i grabbed a pack of Ritz crackers. Predictably i had something so little wanted it too.  No prob gave him one. " mama dip!!" as he dips it in his yogurt "YUMMY MAMA, TRY!!!"


OK so it is not the most awesome thing but is gave me an idea... replace the syrup on his french toast with yogurt dip.!!!! I'm going to try it in the morning and i will let you know. but this just might change his food forever!!!!


WHAT IS THE ODDEST COMBINATION YOUR TOT ENJOYS? DO YOU LIKE IT TOO?

mama Comin/ tantrums galore

My little's new fave words is Mama you coming, as he tried to pull me away form my tasks to see his latest fascination.  The past weeks have been so full of it that I have had a hard time to sit and blog. and when I do have time I didn't have the right mind set to post.

Temper tantrums have become a daily activity. from wanting to keep brushing teeth ( yes he WANTS to brush) to no out side time cause it is raining, even mad cause I gave him the wrong color cup! It is the life of a not yet 2 toddler that thinks he is boss......

MR bosses new unfavorable  activity???  sleeping. Yep he hit the age where he will play till he drops and if you try to get him down b4 that, be ready for tears. I don't know if it is due to the changing in the season or just his age but if mama don't get mama time soon Im gonna through a tantrum. How do you other moms get back on track when littles refuse to sleep?
