Day 2

Positives: We went to the Nevada County Fair with my mom and Grandma, he enjoyed is new toy work bench, he said and signed all done after finishing dinner (well what sounded like all done) and gave out multiple kisses and high fives.

Negatives: He didn't take his afternoon nap, he pooped in the bath tub while taking a bath and then preceded to try and play in his poop when I was cleaning it up. He had his first time out today and mommy needed a time out. We both kissed and made up before he went to bed.

I will never underestimate the power of a schedule or nap! We had a great time checking out the animals at the Nevada County Fair but he was so over stimulated and tired he refused to nap. It was a battle of the wills for an hour and I finally gave up.

On a side note I have the time now to fully examining my post baby body and I am NOT happy with what I see. Braydon did some real damage while he was in there. My stomach is totally flabby and stretched out accompanied by stretch marks. I'm not a girl who needs a perfect body. To be honest, it is a real effort to even do my hair in the morning but my worn out mommy bod needs some TLC. This is being added to my to do list. I am trying to walk 5x a week and I will try my best to add in some sit ups as well. So far I have painted my toe nail a very pretty hot pink which lifted my spirits another day.

My husband is officially and work and at the station with no cell phone reception. This of course is challenging. We tried to Skype but his signal for that isn't really that great and once Christian disappeared from the screen and Braydon freaked out thinking the computer ate his dad. Hopefully this seasonal work is truly just for a season and he will find full time work soon.

Well, I'm off to watch a movie and attempt sit ups. Until tomorrow :)
