Me?? A SAHM??? No way!!!

Oh but yes I am and truthfully I'm liking it!! Some days are better than others but heck I dealt with those days at my job. I was a Social Worker for almost 12 years in the LTC business. Overall I loved my job, but soon after my 3rd son was born I got burnt out! The decision was made for me to stay home over 2 months ago. I never thought I'd be a SAHM, just didn't think I fit the criteria.

I've had time to spend 1:1 with my children and really "get to know them." That's sad isn't it? Each one is so very different in a lot of ways. My oldest, who has Asperger's, is totally a morning person unlike his mother. He's a junk food junkie, loves to swim on and off all day and hangs out pretty much by himself in his room. (I try to get him out but he likes it there) He's not into learning how to cook, or cleaning for that matter, doesn't like dogs, but loves cats and loves to go grocery shopping with is mom. He's a delight to have around when you can get him out of his shell. We've discussed signing him up for Martial Arts and he's excited about that. My oldest "baby" will be going into 4th grade this year...where oh where did the time go?

Oh my Ethan. He's our second born, full of life 3.5 y/o. He starts pre-school this September and is looking forward to it. I've noticed since I've been home that Ethan is somewhat of a bully. Ugh...I hate that word. I'm hoping its because his routine has changed from going to daycare to being home with brothers and mom all day. He's such a smart little boy. Loves to play, especially with his tractors and his guitar. He loves music, singing and dancing. And he's totally a daddy's boy!! Yes he is. His new favorite things to do with momma is cook. He loves to help in the kitchen..his favorite is mixing up hamburger.

And lastly, my sweet little Weston. He's growing up way too fast!! Going on 2 years old, he is talking great and is into everything that his brothers are doing. His personality is just oh so big and he never meets a stranger. We are working on our colors, letters and saying our name. He knows his body parts and can say them. He got to enjoy a trip to the beach this summer and a short trip to TN to visit friends where he got to feed baby calves and ride a horse. Yes, I see horses and cows in our future. Slow down Weston, Mommy needs for you to stay her baby for a little while longer.

Our summer is almost up..school starts back in less than 2 weeks. Things will change again and new routines will be made. Oh Lord...HOMEWORK!!!! YUCK.

So until next time....
