I've been home with Kian for 4 days straight (well, he had a little time at Bethy's on Monday) and it's been interesting, to say the least! Yesterday, Wednesday, was a wild roller coaster of a day here in this home! Kian was adorable, sweet, funny, happy, mad, infuriating, and adorable! I have no idea what order these things happened, but here is a bulleted list of our ONE day!
- while I was trying to help him down the stairs (while holding hot tea) he accidentally let go of my finger and fell down. Since I was holding tea, I tried to stop him...with my foot...which backfired, and I almost sorta pushed him down the stairs. He barrel rolled, recovered quickly, no injuries!
- I have started trying to put him on time out for pushing the power button on the VCR...it makes the tv all snowy. After putting him on timeout about 5 times for this, he started going over to the VCR, pushing the button and RUNNING to the time out spot on the stairs!
- As I sit in the chaise in his playroom (the only way he'll play in there) holding my hot tea, he thinks I'm his personal jungle gym and climbs all over me. I have nowhere to put the tea, so it is spilled on me!
- We went outside to shovel the driveway so daddy could come back home. Kian is a very good boy and plays close by while I shovel. Doesn't take me too long. Then we migrate down 2 houses to Alexander's house where he is playing in the snow with his mom and dad. Kian gets to sled for the first time, down their driveway! He is indifferent, but I think he liked it!
- Bethy (daycare) says Kian has been napping for 2 hours in the afternoons lately, since she got him down to one nap. Not for mama! 45 min.-one hour was it.
- Mamma doesn't even get to use her laptop at all during the day because Kian thinks it's his toy...lots of buttons to push!
- We go to the neighbors house to visit, and we have some hot cocoa. Whoops, she leaves her chair out at the table. Kian climbs up, grabs the placemat, cocoa cup and all, and down it goes. Chocolatey cocoa all over him, the floor, and a broken mug! Thank GOD for hardwood!
- He loves to push all the cushions off the couch and jump into them...adorable-but I get tired of picking them up!
- He also loves to climb the stairs, open our bedroom door, and BOLT into the bathroom-where he is NOT supposed to go. He will not listen when I call him out of there. He earned a little spankin' on that one! He recovered quickly, trust me! I think I hurt his feelings more than anything!
- he found a small slinky downstairs and a bottle of nail polish (I store the slinky on the polish and fidget with the slinky while watching tv) and played with the two for at least 20 minutes (inside a little ottoman that opens up!)
- he's starting to throw the ball for Maggie...but he throws it AT her...still cute!
- Since a new baby has started at daycare and there is now a swing around, he has figured out how to crawl into the one we still have in his playroom. He crawled into it, swung with a big ole grin, fell out a couple of times, and had a ball!
