5 minutes of peace

Just read "5 minutes of peace", to jacob (a book about an elephant family and the mom needs 5 minutes of peace..) and now I am eating my 2nd bite size dark choc. peanut butter cup, sitting down for a minute.

There is a reason I started to make our soup for dinner at 11:30 am today, it's almost 2 and I am still in process

Really it feels like a "normal" day- one that we've chosen to stay home all day- Caleb's 1st day of BOOT CAMP/ potty training
We've gone from big boy unds, to no unds for the greater part of the morning & now during nap time he's got on pull ups-

Huge plus is that he's gone in the potty #1, twice.. okay he did point the firehose straight at me, but eventually we hit the potty- we've had our share of accidents this am which is why I have pulled up the carpets and my hands smell like Lysol

Caleb's requested reward was that he got to watch Frosty the Snowman (whatever works)

Somehow Jacob and I got to play a game of Ladybug- that nana gave us- he won and is getting the hang of it! thanks Karen.

Gunnar is down for a half hour so far... he's Mr. I'm hungry, please hold, me don't leave me, naps are unpredictable, spit my food out unless it's applesauce or bananas boy.

Yes and we did finish lunch at 1:30 b/c, well we got started late and my boys- especially Jacob can eat 3 hot dogs, grapes, blueberries, and a cheese sandwich for lunch. No joke and he wanted more- can we say growth spurt maybe?
He will not stay in his room, keeps making reasons to get up during rest time- better go b/c my 5 minutes are clearly almost up!

It's a privilege to be a mommy, really we are doing pretty well- thanks for the prayers- hope you are having a good day and this gives you a smile!

Four hours till daddy gets home :)
