A Mommy's Day

Well, since it seems Joel is going to be doing the majority of updates on our blog, I thought perhaps I could add a note of my own today.

 

It’s a quiet afternoon in the Potter house.  Jack is taking a well deserved nap.  We were out most of the morning and early afternoon with Jolene, my best friend.  She has been gracious enough to run me here and there the last few days and we went to a local fitness center today to check out possibly joining, in order to do some aerobics classes together.  Bye-bye baby pounds!  Jack was a trouper and held up until around 1pm.  He only got a 15 minute nap while we were at Target and then fell asleep in the car seat on the way home.  I didn’t have the heart to wake him, so I left him to sleep in it in the living room and when he did wake, laid him in bed. He’s a tired little boy. 

 

I had hoped to begin packing this week, but ended up doing a bunch of little things that had to be done in order to get to packing.  Maybe next week I’ll make some progress. 

 

I’m reading several books right now on children and gleaning all I can so as to be a good mommy to this little man in our lives.  We can be thankful for so much; like that he loves to smile!  Even when he’s in a bad mood, he still will smile!  He loves to give hugs and kisses; and for as long as he’ll give them, I’ll take them.  He will eat just about anything!  I met another mom today whose 7 month old will only nurse – she won’t eat anything else but cheerios.  They are having to see a specialist to figure out how to get her to eat.  I thank God we don’t have to deal with that.  Jack loves people and doesn’t know a stranger.  Like I said we have much to be thankful for with him.  The little setbacks we face (not sleeping well and touching the toilet paper roll while on the potty) are pale in comparison to so many other families.  I have to keep that in perspective!

 

Well, that’s my two cents!  This is therapeutic I think!

 

Love to all!
