I was running the vacumn and Jonathon went over and unplugged the cord from the wall ~ I started to yell to tell him it was dangerous and then he just looked up at me with those sad eyes like.....sorry mommy ~ I felt so bad ~ I grabbed him and hugged him and told him thank you for helping me. Then I explained to him why he should not help mommy with that and he should just wait.
I moved some furniture today ~ I was attempting to pull/push desk across living room ~ Jonathon kept walking around desk and clapping and touching ~ again at first I told him no ~ but then realized he was helping mommy move the desk and once again I had to apologize.
I was trying to put the tower(computer) back into its cubby after moving the desk and Jonathon kept trying to close the door on me ~ of course I was irritated, I was trying to hurry and finish before nap time ~ but then I looked over and those sad eyes and tears were coming again ~ telling me that he was just trying to help ~ more hugs......more sorry's!
Jonathon loves to help with the laundry ~ he has been helping fold and put away towels for over a year ~ big brothers say that I am running a sweat shop LOL.
Jonathon loves to unload groceries and help put everything away.
He is doing awesome at school on the playground ~ when he first started school he didn't really want to climb on the play scape, but he would at home ~ now he flies up and down the slides like he has been doing it forever. If I arrive early I still let him stay and play ~ I really enjoy just watching him from a distance and sometimes I join in too.
There is so much that he is doing and saying lately ~ I am so proud of him and everything that he has accomplished so far ~ I sit and think O.M.G. I only have 1 1/2yrs more and then he will be gone all day ~ the time is going to go by so fast ~ I don't want to miss anything ~ or take anything for granted.......
This is why laundry may not be done on time......beds may not be made daily......dinner may be just sandwiches some nights.......flowers may not be weeded like they should......floors may not be swept and mopped as much as they are supposed......paperwork may not be filed daily.....dusting may need to be done........my baby will not be a baby much longer.....actually he is not a baby.....he is my little man.....that will soon be big enough to go to school all day..... kindergarten is not that far off.....I am enjoying my last little one and the rest of the crap can just wait for me!!!!!!!
Our next big move......over Christmas vacation he will be moving out of my room ~ out of his toddler bed ~ moving into bunk beds ~ sharing a room with big brother Kenny!
I love you Jonathon! I needed the reality check today so thank you for reminding mommy to have patience! And for reminding me things will get done. There is no reason to rush......
