I even love how it came with three fabric markers purple, orange, and green...easy to use to easy to closed for myself my son needed it help. It also look so fun seeing our work finish and glowing in the dark. We had our bag, fabric markers and instructions on what do before coloring our bag. A fold a paper towel in half to stick inside the bag and color away. On the instructions it says you can used paper towels if you liked and let me tell you it worked!

Hello October! Goodbye September

September was a memorable with ending August with a bang thanks Hurriance Harvey(posted coming soon), than celebrating my son's third birthday as well as making many more memories together. And of course finishing off September with a first visit to the Renassicane festival for opening weekend for my son and for us with a child. 

Now Hello October! I'm in Texas and waiting for the cooler weather to come our way, enjoy the fall festival that our city has to offer, and lots more outside time with my little guy! It's the first of the month and I'm already excited and can't wait to see what this month has to offer. As well looking forward to making memories visiting the pumpkin patch, and seeing my little guy dress up for Halloween and going trick or treat! Than of course one step closer to the Holidays I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, but first counting down to our 9 year Wedding Anniversary a month from today. We started October with a bang attending our first football game for my son and I, we are cowboys fan and we went to cheer for the Texans, and they won. Hope we can end October great and start November off even better.

Beside that I'm on a weight lost journey I refuse to celebrate our Annivesary with the extra weight I put on. New month, new journey, new goal, stay tuned to see if I do become successful with this!

P.S. Dentist appointment for his 3rd birthday check up. Dentist and assistant were compeletly proud of him on good he did and was. Than we started with our yearly birthday traditions with a trip to toys r us for a new toy, a cupcake from our local bakery than dinner at Hooters ended it with them singing and a picture.

Until next year!

My toddler who is barely talking, and he's almost three

Yes, my toddler is almost three and barely talking, not completely talking but is saying more words everyday. He also does say a few sentences such as Dada where my shoes, Goodnight mama and dada. Everyday we work with him or I work with him since I'm at home with him.  Now let's rewind to last September at his second birthday check up with the doctor. Everything is going fine until the words come out of the Doctor she is worry about him as he's a little behind with his speech, let me mention to you he just turn 2 four days before. I heard those words and as a mommy, his mommy I felt like I failed him, and myself as his mommy. She refer him to a speech specialist, and they would call me to schedule appointment with him soon. We left I cried as I thought something was wrong with my son, I had to called dada and he ensure me everything was fine and he will be fine. Speech specialist was scheduled for October we went and he did his thing at the end of the appointment, the specialist were impress with him and he was fine!

Now here we are almost three weeks shy from his third birthday. Yes third birthday and yes I have notice that my son has been working hard since last year, and yes he can communicate with us when he's hurt, sad, happy, want something, when hungry, and so much more. He also says more words each day, and he does get stress out when we want him to say a word or work with him, but he's trying and doesn't give him. Also just the other day daddy sneeze and he out of nowhere said Blessed you dada...of course dada and I were in shock, and was so proud of him like we are everyday.

We praise him everyday when he does something such as a high five, clapping or awesome job baby boy!

You know he almost three but I have learn not to stress! So as a mommy to another mommy if you are in my shoes know you are not alone. Know you have not failed as a mommy or failed him. Know he has not failed. And most importantly I know my son goes at his own peace and still is,  and if your child may be doing the same, know everything will be ok!

So hang in there!

Coming from a mommy who is a first timer and thought she failed as a mommy and her son. I didn't!!

Hello August, Goodbye July

July was good to us celebrated my mom birthday, catch a movie, celebrated a good friend daughter's 15 birthday which we were the sponsor of the ring. I kept up somewhat with the treadmill. Also kept my little busy with some fun playdates with some friends or it was just us. And of course due to the heat here in Texas we got my windows tinted on the my car so it can be cooler for not only myself but for my son as well. Than a few good friends celebrated their birthdays. A baby boy was born. Fianlly my husband started bonding more by making a movie date here at home while with our son or while he's asleep either way we are spending time together. As well we ended July by taking my son's 3rd birthday photo shoot.

Now August is here and I am day 2 with working out on the treadmill! Stay tuned for an updated at the end of the month!

It's just a stage, It will pass...I hope!

For the last month in half I have told myself it would pass, it's just a stage he's having.

Wonder what the stage is? Well he's taking it back to the newborn stage getting up at 11 and every hour after that until 3. He would go from a deep sleep to waking up out of nowhere from it, and there is some nights he would cry and some nights just lay there and talk or move to our bed. And a matter of fact he would also cry when I tell him it's bedtime and when we need to move him to his bed, and I mean cry with tears coming out. Also I must mention he's in our room but in his bed so when he wakes up he will crawl into our bed, which my husband wants to leave him in our bed. Than I will move him, because let's face it I don't want to start something that's going to be hard to break because I already want to move him to his own room, but this happen so now we are at a STOP!

Now coming from one tired mommy I'm hoping this is just a stage, and it will eventually passed so we can work on moving him to his room. Daddy is all for him staying in our room and laying in our bed when that happens. But this mommy is saying NO, and won't break down because this will become a habit and it will be hard to break. I have lost sleep because I get up and move him back to his bed and continue to do so until he goes back to sleep and won't wake up till the morning time. And since it's been going on for about month in half it can be everyday, or some nights but still I'm losing sleep, he's losing and I'm still fighting him for to back to his bed.

Finally, we are in a new month I hope this stage will passed soon and it will back to normal!! Stay tuned to see how this stage is doing for us and to see if he's now in our bed or continue to be in his bed!!
