This blog is going to highlight some of Tanner's and my random thoughts. I'll start with me.
Friendships-Until I moved I didn't realize how lucky I was to have made such wonderful friends in the Carolinas. The past two weeks, it has really hit me: I have not made any friends (yet), and I am in need of some. I am thinking back to when Jacqui and I first became friends. It was so easy and it just seemed to fall into place naturally. But we were also young(er), with less obligations and more free time. On the bright side, it's summer and my besties are out of school, so hopefully they come to visit very soon! (Hint, hint) ;)
Family life-I feel bad complaining about the lack of friends because our family life is so wonderful here! It's great having Bobby here every night! The boys love seeing Daddy everyday!! The boys also love our yard. We go on walks almost every day (sometimes with Bobby). We pick wild blackberries, pet the horses, and Tanner picks me "mother's day" flowers!
Mom and Jon visit-My mom and Jon came and stayed with us for about week. We had lots of fun! Jon helped Bobby make a stone wall in the basement where his office is going to go. Jon also made the boys a teeter-totter, which Brennan really loves!! Mom and I played with the boys and did some shopping.
Tanner's random thoughts-My almost three year old has decided that I am now to be called "Mom." Not Mommy, but Mom....really??? Already, he's too cool to call me Mommy??? :( When his song comes on in the car, he says "That's my jam!" Then him and Brennan dance in their car seats and giggle! His jam is number 1 and 6 of the new Shins album...no, I do know the names of the songs! Bobby bought him a camo "mom-mow" hat and now he calls all hats "mom-mow hats." He loves to start sentences with well. Ex: "Well, I'm going to play on my mom-mow. Well, I want wogurt (yogurt)." He has also developed a fear. He is afraid that "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is coming to get him. If you have seen the YouTube video, the sheep is really creepy. He closes all of the doors in the house "so Baa Baa doesn't come in." He asks me if Baa Baa is coming. It really make me sad that he has developed this fear. I'm sure it's normal, but I don't want him to be worrying about something coming to get him. That breaks my heart! He has also decided that he will no longer nap. Mommy is NOT happy about this one!!! But I can't make him sleep. I do, however, make him have quiet time in his room for most of Brennan's nap. (If not, I will have two non-napping boys) Tanner picked a bad time of year to quit napping, since it's light out when he has to go to bed (based on the amount of his crankiness b/c of not napping), but oh well!
I feel like there is more, but I can't think of it now. So, that's all!!
