Bored

I have a 2 year old who gets bored now. She'll walk around the house, kind of hanging her arms, looking around, and just whining. She'll beg, "Show show show show" and if I don't want her to watch a show, she'll climb on my lap and stare at me. I'll tell her to grab a book, No! Go make a treat for Maya in your kitchen, No! But not always, most of the time if I give her an idea of what to do, she'll get excited and go do it. It's just that other part of the time that I feel like I have a teenager to entertain.

Amelia is WAY into Three Little Pigs right now. She loves when we tell her the story. And she will act it out now by herself using her Little People house and 3 animals as the pigs and Minnie Mouse as the big bad wolf. When I'm telling it, she'll cut me off with such enthusiasm and say, "oh no, house fall". It is SO MUCH FUN. I'm excited to introduce more and more stories.

I have also been feeling bored these days. Sometimes I feel like it is 1 pm when it isn't even 10 yet! And sure I have cleaning to do and a book I could read, or journaling, or playing with the girls. And I do that all, but then it's like only 15 minutes have passed by! Reminds me of that song on Tangled, When Will My Life Begin. Juan calls that the anti-Stay at Home Mom song. Ha ha! I love my job, I'm so grateful for my life, but it's ok to be bored sometimes. Which is why I'm so excited for Ginger (my sister) and Sam to come visit TOMORROW!!! Yay! They will be staying for 10 days and Ginger is pregnant with a boy and we are going to shop and satisfy all my shopping addiction while spending their money and not mine! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I'm so excited to go find some cute boy clothes, any suggestions? And eat good food and just have a fun time. We're going to Corpus Christi and to San Antonio and of course downtown Austin. It is going to be a blast.
