Boogie Talk

Stinx - "Yesterday I pulled a boogie out with my hand and put it in my mouth"

Mom - "That's yucky"

Stinx - "Why is it yucky?"

Mom - "Because boogies are supposed to go in the garbage"

Stinx - "I said to myself, 'my mouth is a garbage'

I pretty much laughed my pants off.

Stinx, on breaking straight edge

"Mom, I have an idea. Daddy can have a beer and you can have a sip."

I explained that I don't drink.

"I can teach you how to drink beer!'

Once again I explain that I don't drink it.

"You just have to practice drinking beer, mom."

The Stinx Series

Ok, a new series to keep things fresh. Stinx quotes.

Today's quote doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it has some interesting imagery. This quote was written down sometime in June 2010.

"The Pooger pooks me and blows wind out of his nose. He prickles me. The wind blows out of his nose and shoots the prickles out."

Hum

So, first things first, my apologies to those of you who check back here and find nothing new to read, I'm sorry! I suck. Yes, I do.

The long awaited news from the Breastfeeding Challenge, Bitta did nurse! Even if it was for a few seconds. Some good news though, she is nursing in public more often now so thats pretty awesome. Here is a picture of a cookie we received at the challenge.



Life has been a little crazy lately. I've been watching Bee, my niece, 3-4 days a week for the past 2 months. It's been both really great and really hard. Some days are awesome and some days suck. I feel like I am still adjusting to life with 2 kids and throwing a third in there makes it tricky at times, usually when both the littles need naps. Bee is a pretty easy going happy baby so that helps. I find that it is hardest for Stinx. He doesn't get the attention he needs when I am changing diaers, feeding or putting babies down for naps. I am trying to think of more ways to keep Stinx busy and occupied. Most of the time Stinx just runs around "tormenting" the littles. And I know its out of boredom.

I've also been really busy with craft fairs. I've done 3 already this season and I have one more to go. I can't wait to be done. I foolishly took on too many this year, 3 of them being back to back. I do loving making my Nerdsicles and the aprons but I need to take is easy. Here are some of my newest nerdsicles.



Poor Bitta is cutting about 3-4 teeth right now :( Poor thing. She's unhappy at the moment so I am off.

I'm hoping to blog soon about Stinx pre-school experience... and the lack there of currently.

A True Challenge

So every year since Stinx was born I've been invited to attend the local annual Breastfeeding Challenge. The idea is to get as many breastfeeding mothers in one room, all nursing at the same time, to promote the "normalism" of breastfeeding (at least to my understanding). But I've never gone. Not for any reason in particular. But I find myself going this year. Tomorrow morning to be exact. With my nursing baby, Bitta. Which is ironic.

Because, like I have mentioned before, Bitta doesn't nurse in public. So to be going to an event like the Breastfeeding Challenge, with the baby who doesn't like doucies in public, proves to truly be challenging ;)

At 11am someone will take count of all the babies latched on at the same time. I'm curious to know if we will count if Bitta is flailing away from my breast at the exact moment they are to count us. Hmmm. I think they'll count us anyway.

I am praying for some sort of miracle. The type of miracle that involves a baby breastfeeding for more than 3 seconds (literally) in a room full of other women and babies. It will take a miracle!

I'll let you know how it goes.
