First day with Alexis and Charlotte by myself!
Well, my mom has been coming to my house ever since Charlotte was born almost every day, not Saturdays and Sundays because Cameron is here. Since there are only few months before I go to Utah, I haven't really told her that I don't need any more help so she can enjoy the kids more and so that they remember her next time we come or they go visit. Today though, I couldn't go to her house neither she could come because Cameron is using her car while ours is in repair and I had a meeting with the new president of the YW in my house in the morning. It was quite interesting but fun, I was so busy with them both plus trying to get the house ready to clean tonight. While the meeting was going on though, Charlotte was sleeping and Alexis was playing with Layla's son who is the same age (Layla is the new YW's president) his name is Lee by the way. So Lee and Alexis were playing at hitting each other with swords and pretty much fighting for them and for the cars! It was fun to watch them but Alexis is so much bigger than him that when Lee tries to pull him by the shirt Alexis almost since motionless by this! They are starting to actually play more than before so that is a good thing, specially hide and seek. After that, I cooked his lunch and he ate it really well, he is a picky eater, and then it was time for his nap but I have to be patting his chest, belly, or butt when he takes his nap and that is when it became tricky. I had Charlotte in one side of the bed while breastfeeding her, and Alexis in the other side while he was drinking his bottle and me patting his belly with a crooked arm. It was not easy because Alexis gets restless and still wants me to pat him but starts getting hyper! It was a fight but at the end he felt asleep and Charlotte too so I decided to take a nap too. When Alexis asked for more milk though it was hard to get out of bed with those two, Alexis had his legs on top of my hips and Charlotte had her nose in my back, she came from where she was all the way to my back, she always does this. She likes to be as close to me as possible and Alexis is just a crazy sleeper. It was hard but I did get up from bed and went back to it and again, I had them both on me. I felt nice to have my two kids so close to me, but my back hurt horribly for not being able to move from an uncomfortable position. Then he got up and like always made a mess while I was still sleeping and when I opened my eyes he immediately pointed to the laundry baskets and said: "oh oh" yeah, that oh oh meant that somehow, all Charlotte's and his diapers got in the laundry baskets and not only that, but the lotions, baby oil and wipes too! He is such a good actor that when I started taking them out he said: "oh men, what happened?, oh oh" with a surprised face. I couldn't help but laugh and then I asked him to help me put everything back which he did. At least it seems like he was feeling guilty enough to help or he was trying to cover up his act! LOL, I love that goofy kid, he makes me laugh every day with every new stuff he does, even new ways to walk like walking with the legs wide open and tilting the head forward while making a tiger's sound. It looks more like Godzilla but I still tell him what a good lion or tiger he is!
