"Mommy , Christmas is Coming!!"

This is the phrase my child uses to manipulate me. Starting today everytime I got mad about something, he would chime in, "Mommy Christmas is Coming"! Then I would forget I was mad cause it's just soo darn cute and I would say YAY! I'm still not totally in the spirit yet but hopefully Thanksgiving will help me out!

IT was a MOPS day today! I dropped Asher off at his class and he grabbed me and said "Mom-"...oh wait new toys....mom? what mom? Aidan had a meltdown! Well 1st of all I felt really good because there was another girl in Aidan's class wailing for her mommy. She kept coming to me for comfort and everytime I would try to walk away they both would wail! The teachers aren't moms, they are high school/college students. So I'm thinking I was motherly to her and she turned to me? Yes? No? Maybe So? Made me feel good anyway! We had our mentor mom answer questions today and she lifted my mommy spirits. Pretty much, you do what you can, when you can and with what you have. All children are different, respond to different things, and learn at different paces. You take the good with the bad and just spend as much time as you can with your child. I just love MOPS because it's such a refresher that other people are going through the same things I am no matter young, old, rich or poor!

Aidan and I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies tonight. He LOVES to cook/bake!! So Santa is bringing him a kitchen! He's going to be a good domesticated hubby one day!! He loves to help with the laundry, dishes, and caring for Asher! Oh and that's another thing. When Aidan was crying for me not to go at MOPS he said through the tears "I wanna go play Asher". I love that they have such a bond between each other!! Brings tears to my eyes!

Ugh! I think Asher is getting sick (along with everyone else we know!). I pray he is better before Thanksgiving! I'm scared to give him any medication with all the recalls out there! I guess we will just sweat it out!

I'm so tired! Off to bed, to bed I said!
