Hi and welcome to my lil' corner of the world wide web (i think i'm the only person that still uses that term). Anyhoo, I'm glad you're here. This is my "family blog" or should I say "momma blog" because let's be honest...it's a blog of my ramblings. It's a place where I post the adventures of my little family and my love for food and photography. This is where I will brag about my perfect kids and my perfect husband...how they never leave their wet towels on the floor, how they eat their vegetables, and how they never ever throw tantrums. Ha!!! not even close :P

We are a normal-average (ok maybe not so normal) family with two crazy wonderful lil' kids who are good most of the time sometimes. And same goes with my hubby. They all drive me crazy at times but I LOVE them to the moon and back.

Thanks again for stoppin' by!

"I smell, I pooped, my back hurts...Are you listening?"

Up until 2 weeks ago both Hannah and Christopher were sleeping in our bed. And since Christopher is about to start school next month we felt it was time they started sleeping in their room and without anyone to lay with.

Before they had no bedtime routine whatsoever...besides brushing their teeth and reading bedtime stories. They would wait up until either me or Hugo were ready to go to bed. Or we waited until they knocked out on the sofa or the floor then we would put them in the bed.

Now, at 8pm they brush their teeth, change to pjs. and go to bed (in their room). We'll read them a couple of books, say their prayers, good night hugs and kisses....and we leave the room. No more laying with them and waiting until they fall asleep.

The first week was hard for everyone...they cried once we left the room and they would wake up around 2am or so and cry some more. We would let them cry a little to see if they would just go back to sleep. Sometimes they do and sometimes they come into our room.

So the other night....Hannah woke up around midnight and started crying and calling for Mama. And this is what went down:
Hannah: "wahhhhh-wahhhh Mommy I smell....I pooped mommy"
"wahhhhh-wahhhh Mommy I pooped, come change my diaper"
"wahhhhh-wahhhh I want you Mommy"

------still no mommy--------
------crying continues-------

"wahhh-wahhh Mommy my back hurts Mommy"
"wahhh-wahhh I'm hurting Mommy"
"are you listening!!!" "listen Mommy wake up!!!"

-----still no mommy-----

"Papa ?? I love you Papa come sleep with me"
"Papa ??"
"LISTENNNN" "wahhhhhh-wahhhh"


Hugo and I were cracking up hearing her blurt one thing after another...waiting to see what she would say next. Eventually the crying stopped and she came into our room =/

Sorry kids we love you soooo much but its time Mama and Papa get their king bed all to themselves now. Some kids sleep in their room ever since they were born so you guys should consider yourselves lucky !!
