1. Free Time with the Bean:
I forgot how carefree life seemed with one child, and especially with one baby - all the things we used to get done!! Dad took the Monkey for some much needed "guy time" yesterday, and Bean & I just strolled around the mall, ran errands & just laid around & played together. It was nice to have some alone time to enjoy all the new things she's doing at 5 months!
2. Self Control:
This week I have made the decision to try to finally lose some of this baby weight. Let's be honest - as much I have have enjoyed my love affair with ice cream each evening, swimsuit season is
creeping in. Last summer it was a nice excuse to be pregnant & not have to worry about fitting into summer clothes. I have one good week under my belt of trying to just be more conscious of what I am putting into my mouth - damn if it isn't hard though!
3. Smiley Faces:
Monkey is finally showing his crafty side & been sitting with me
at his table in the playroom to draw. He comes to me throughout the day with little surprises & pictures - some of which leave me guessing, and others which are getting easier to figure out. This was a recent favorite that I put up on my side of the bed to make me smile in the morning.
