SuperMomming it

Today I feel like SuperMom. Not bad for my first day back at work after a week of sloth.

I stayed at work until 3, then drove to the office to take care of some paperwork and schedule with my supervisor, then went to pick up Punk. (Who, by the way, is now wearing underwear to day care. !!!!) We came home and I read approximately 98943890123890 issues of Babybug and Wild Animal Baby. I then set her up with a huge stack of Sesame Street books and went to make some dinner. In between I also did a load of laundry. Punk likes to "help" with folding, and she matches all the socks.

It wasn't the most amazing dinner - some cubed and sauteed chicken, cheesy rice (using up some of that velveeta left over from the SuperBowl), and some leftover vegetables - but it was tasty and filling and not terrible. I procured some applesauce for the toddler and put the leftover food away for Jen and rinsed out the dishes.

After dinner I let her watch the Veggie Tales video we borrowed from the library while having some snuggle time, and then we did bath and then bed prep. While running the bath, I also emptied her laundry hamper and wiped up some sort of spill/leak on the bathroom floor that I believe is coming from the diaper sprayer. Now the child is in bed (though I doubt she is sleeping, she IS quiet at present), I did another round of Laundry Switcheroo, and am now about to indulge in a little internet and eating of PEZ.

Somewhere in there I also realized that I forgot to pick up my prescription this afternoon, so I managed to convince a former coworker to pick it up at the hospital pharmacy and then - get this - drive it to Jen at work. All while cutting up chicken and switching out laundry.

SuperMom.

i love veggie tales! we just started letting jacob watch for about 40 minutes every other weekend or so. he is not super interested yet so we don't want to encourage it too much yet when he is still quite happy reading books and playing with his other toys. when we watch, though, it is veggie tales.

Punk is VERY interested in television. She started watching television at around 18 months. I forget. I think I gave up on the "no TV" business after she passed 100 words, because I figured she was developing language just fine.

She amuses herself with lots of other things, but she loooooooooves television.

yeah, at this point, i'm not going to fight it if he asks, and once in a while we will offer, but i'm not going to bring it up regularly. i'm certainly not worried about his ability to entertain himself, and he is a very smart little boy. plus, what's better than veggie tales? at least it's some wholesome storylines... i love me some larry. :)

I happen to be a Bob fan, myself.

I have to limit Punk's tv watching, because she will continually ask. If I say, "You can watch one episode," she is guaranteed to say, "How about three?"

Oh we have a subscription to BabyBug, and I just got one for Wild Animal..but so far haven't gotten an issue. I'm looking forward to it.
