Please cover your mouth when you cough....

 I have become so paranoid to be around sick people.  Things that I never noticed before.  I went to my daughter's choir performance the other night, Just my son Nik and myself went.  I left Tyler home with dad. We had this family sit behind us mom, dad, about 3 kids... hacking and coughing and sneezing.  I sat with my sleeve over my nose and mouth trying to avoid breathing their germs for a half hour. I am wondering why did they come, if i was that sick I would not go sit in a crowded room and expose everyone to my cold.  Tyler has made me see alot of things I never noticed before, maybe its just me being paranoid to bring something home to Tyler  but geez.......if your sick stay home I dont feel like sharing your germs.

The little things

Its amazing to me the little things I am able to enjoy with Tyler that I missed with my other kids.  I am now for the first time ever a stay at home mom.  It makes me sad to realize that because I was working all the time I missed so much.  I never thought I would be so excited to see my son suck his thumb for the first time, or discover that his toes are conected to him and he controls them...fasinating stuff.  Little things I guess I took for granted before.  It bothers me to think that Nik, Ashley, and Tommy also missed out on me being around all the time.  When they were babies my main priority was to provide for them and that ment I worked alot of hours, and they spent alot of time with grandma and grandpa. I just hope that they all know they are so loved, my kids are my world.

Tyler is a thumb sucker!!!

After weeks of trying to do it all by himself Tyler is officially a thumb sucker.
