Life with a Toddler

Today I decided that me and Justice were going to decorate for Christmas. I know that it is early but it is something that I thought would be fun. I did not realize how many decorations we do not have. I forgot that we do not have that much so it actually sucked decorating because it was a little depressing that we do not have that much and right now I can not go and buy anything because we do not have the money to do so. Maybe next year we can get some more stuff and make everything look pretty and wonderful for the kids. Justice had fun though and we are waiting for daddy to get home so that we can put up the tree and get it all decorated. I am excited for Christmas this year because I think Justice will have fun opening all his presents and going to the different places to do so.
I never really liked holidays until Justice came now they are something to look forward to seeing his little eyes light up when he gets up in the morning and doing all the fun shopping for things for him. I am so excited to go and get him somethings. I can not wait.
This year will be bargain hunting for presents because money is tight and I can not afford for how many people I have to buy for. Note to self start shopping way sooner next year. I say this every year but it never happens but I am going to make sure that I either start sooner or start to put money aside to do so.
I am looking forward to seeing his face when Santa comes.
Off to make dinner now and to watch some more sponge bob with justice lee.

Saturday started off like any other day, daddy was hunting and me and Justice were hanging out at home. He ate like he always does and when daddy got home he wanted to go out and see him so we did. Justice played outside for quit a while before I brought him in to get cleaned up so that we could go down to Aaron's parents for dinner. When I came in to change his clothes I noticed that he was covered in hives, so off to the doctors. They gave him benadril which worked but we are not sure what he is allergic to which sucks because I would like to know so that we do not go through that again. It was not fun for him or me because he was covered they did go away as fast as they came on though which was nice, so we then went down to the parents for dinner.
Sunday we got up and went to church which I love to do because our church is nice and I really like pastor grant. After church off to nana and poppas for lunch and to play while momma works. The same thing that happens every sunday. Justice had fun and I got a lot of work done for my mom.
Monday we made some avon deliveries and hung around the house.
Today is the same as monday nothing too exciting going on and I think it will turn out to be a pretty normal day.

So this morning I got told that one of my dogs has beaten the other one up again, so off to the pound for the one since this is not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last. That was the start to a day that began at 4 in the morning.
Then Justice decided to play on my computer like he does everyday, but this time he fell and now has an eye that is almost swollen shut, a bump between his eyes and a bump on his head. What else could this little boy do to himself today?
As I am sitting here waiting for the humane society to open so that I can call and make sure that they have room for my dog since that is what it says to do, she decided to beat up Fat Boy again. It is never ending.
Justice is now down for his nap which was well needed so hopefully the day will get better when he gets up and not worse

Saturday night me and Aaron went out and left Justice home with Aaron's parents which was needed for the two of us to spend some time together. The only thing thought was when we got home he woke up at 2 in the morning and stayed awake and now since Saturday he must not be feeling well because he is not eating and is poopy and does not want to do much. I feel bad and I know it has nothing to do with me not being home saturday it just makes me feel like I did something wrong. Trust me I know that me and Aaron needed some time together with out any kids but it just makes me feel bad though.
Today we did not do much other than hang around home and go to walmart to get wet wipes because one more poopie and I would not have any. Tomorrow we have things to do though and I really hope that he feels better because I do not want to haul a sick kid around. That does not sound fun for me or him, but we will see.
Justice still wants to watch sponge bob all the time and loves anything that has to do with sponge bob which sometimes is nice now that I can turn it on and he will watch it and I might get something done.

So today I put justice down for his nap and with in ten minuets he was in his crib crying and saying puckie( poopie). I thought that he had just gone in his diaper so I thought nothing of it when I went to his crib. Well I thought wrong, nothing new. He had pooped and taken his diaper off and had it on his hand, head and on the crib. That is not something that I would have thought would have happend. So I had to clean him the crib and the walls in his room before I could get him down for his nap. I wish someone would have warned me of these things because then I might have figured out a way for the diaper to stay on.
I am also working on potty training him and that is not working at all. I am not sure what to do, he will sit on it and then when he stands up he will pee anywhere but in the potty. Maybe someday I will not be changing his diapers any more but for now we will be cleaning up messes hopefully no more puckies anymore though.

Lately Justice has not been the easiest to put down for his nap or for bed time and this is not my son. He usually does not put up a fuss. I am not sure what is going on with that. Yesterday the only way he would take a nap is if I held him and cuggled so that what I did. I did not get anything done that needed to be done, but I got to hold my little man which was nice because I know that is not going to happen all the time when he gets older so I really like it when I get to do it now. I love every moment that I can share with him that way.

So today I heard that Old Navy was having a sale on hats and scarfs and I had a gift card to Khols, me and Justice went out to do some Christmas shopping. Not much but some. At least I can say that I have started now. I always wait to do my shopping and then kick myself because it is so much to do at the last minuet. We went to khols first and got Justice his ornament for this year and of course it is sponge bob. Then off to old navy where we picked up hats, gloves and scarfs for the little ones in my family. They were cute and did not cost very much at all. We then we to starbucks so that I could get my drink and Justice a cup of whip cream.
We then got home where Justice played with his new ornament and I wanted to start decorating for christams but have been told that it is too early to do so, I might just do it any how.

I am now looking to see where else I can go for good deals to get more shopping done.

Not much different has been going on. The same stuff everyday. Justice is really talking alot these days and I love it so much. I wish sometimes he was a tinny baby again just because he was not small for long at all, but it is so much fun everyday with my little man. He is just filled to the brim with energy and keeps me going 24/7. I love every moment of it, even the parts where he makes a mess and looks at me and says "mess" and the only reason that I think that he does this is just to make the mess for fun.
He thinks that he is funny and it is not that big of a deal to me, he has fun and that is all that matters to me that my little guy is having harmless fun. I would not change a thing about my life and the choices that I have made to stay home with him. I could not be more grateful that I have had the blessing to be home with him all the time and I am the one whom gets to raise him and not daycare. Grated being a stay at home mom is more than being a mom it is being a short order cook, maid, dish washer, play buddy, and many many more things. I also work with avon and I love the fact that Justice can do that with me.

Here are some pictures of Justice on Halloween. He was my little scarecrow. He is mad because he wanted the camera to play with and I would not give it to him

So today has not gotten off to the greatest start. Aaron left at 12:00 last night to go duck hunting with his brother and friend. I hope they get some ducks to bring home. Justice got up about 6:30 this morning so I got to sleep a little but not as much as I would have liked. He then came and watched TV with me in bed for a little while. Then all chaos broke loose. He found the powered sugar and covered himself and the house. The kitchen, dinning room, rocking horse, cars, my bed and the living room all covered. When I walked out I say it and thought that some drug deal went wrong in my house just because of the amount and everything. I have never seen so much of a mess before. I have gotten all the powered sugar up but after washing the floor for the third time it is still sticky, I am running out of ideas of what to do to clean it. I did not expect to have to clean my house this morning since I just did it yesterday, but I guess a clean house is better than a dirty house. Thank you Justice for having me clean the house again.
The other problem is bed and nap time lately. Justice does not want to go to sleep instead he wants to cuggle and I need him to nap and go to bed but instead he stands in his crib and screams and cries and I feel horrible but not sure what to do because he will not fall alseep cuggling or you honlding him.
Wow hopefully the day will get better and no more chaos. I can only hope

With all of today's plans going to poop I decided that it would not be fair to not take Justice out so we went down town and trick or treated where he got a lot of candy and would look and say pease sucker and tank you. It was so cute. Then we went to the outlet mall and did a little more there then it was off to home. Where he wanted to eat more candy but I hid it because he had already had a ton of suckers and some twislers. He did not need more. He then ate dinner, took a bath and was wiped out. He also is sick with a runny nose and a fever so I did not want to keep him up to do anymore trick or treating so at 6:00 I tried to get him to bed but he wanted to cuggle so we went out and cuggled for a while then off to bed where he fell right asleep and I have not heard a peep from him. Poor tired little man.
Aaron just left for hunting so that means a day with just me and my little man tomorrow and then on sunday Aaron is hunting again so the whole weekend just the two of us. I will find some things to do just mommy and Justice.
I had so much fun with him this year and I can not wait until next year where he will be a little older and we will go at night around our neighborhood and to town and make a day and night out of it since it only comes once a year. Oh yeah he was a scarcrow this year and it was so cute, I am already thinking about what he can be next year. I will find something cute but if he had his way right now he would be sponge bob I am sure since he loves that crazy cartoon.
