My "work-week" is coming to an end, and I must say... I'm loving this! Sure- I may not have as much adult interaction as I used to, but I'm soaking up the time that I have with my little man and am cherishing every moment. I have noticed a little change in him though. He is becoming a little more clingy, often saying- "Mommy, UP!" I think Wyatt is LOVING this one-on-one attention.
He's become quite the little helper. We have a battery-operated Swifer that has been put away b/c it wasn't working right. Wednesday, I got it all fixed up and charged the battery. Yesterday- Wyatt discovered it and wanted to start using it right away. So I popped the battery in and he proceeded to follow me around the house "vacuuming" these hardwood floors while I straightened up a bit. He did a great job & wouldn't stop until the battery was totally worn down. He's also great with laundry. He puts his dirty clothes in his hamper, and when it's time for washing- he helps put clothes from the washer to the dryer, and pull "hot clothes" from the dryer to the basket. He also likes to close the dryer door. I told him to close the door, and walked away to start folding- to turn around and find he had a different idea.
My hot-natured baby didn't want to stay in the warmth of the dryer for long.
So... something a little strange happened today. I got motivated to get in the basement and garage to start clearing out some of the JUNK down there! I guess that's what happens when you can't really clean anything else in the house. (Well...let's be honest- there's always something that can be cleaned... but I really wanted to get down there & Wyatt LOVES exploring down there.) So- I've already got a HUGE stack of trash to throw out, organized my photography props & equipment- and have started a list of stuff that needs to go into our yard sale. Feeling pretty productive today... and I must say I think some of the credit goes to my delicious cup of coffee I had this morning after breakfast. I don't think I could make it through a day without my coffee. Yesterday I didn't drink any, and I felt so unproductive. I also didn't have my "To-Do" list prepared when I got up yesterday... which was part of the problem. I'm very much like my dad when it comes to making a list and checking things off. So, today- I've had my coffee + my list... and I'm rockin' and rollin'! There's no telling what I might get accomplished today!
