Keeping up with Claire: Week 8

Is that a widow's peak like your momma?!

Pretty baby!

Laundry

If you don't want to read about our laundry shenanigans I suggest you stop reading now.

I never thought my near 2 yr old's world would revolve around laundry. Never. Whenever we have people over he instantly wants to take the to the laundry. Which, at times, makes me have a slight panic attack hoping no underwear is visible. I try all day to occupy him. Puzzles, games, coloring, ANYTHING to get his mind off CLOTHES! as he says. Sometimes the washer gets unlevel and you best believe that little UL that takes places of how many minutes are left will not go unnoticed by Wyatt Hudson. To easily entertain him for 20 minutes while I feed his sister, I let him take the clothes our of the dryer and put them in a basket. In the dryer. Out of the dryer. Would occupy him all day I let him. Today, he knocked a sock under the dryer and started trying to reach for it. He called for my help so I swiped my hand under there and what do you know the first thing that came out was the last paci we hadn't see in weeks. I scooped that thing up faster that you can imagine and no, it didn't go unnoticed by Wyatt. He picked up the 2 socks we had found but kept asking where it go? and trying to look under the dryer. Oh mercy. That success that I had literally just wrote about was almost out the door.

And, because it was down right hilarious I have to share this. Wyatt has never climbed in the dryer. Which to me is shocking. He was doing his clothes and I heard him crying hard so I came in to find the poor guy stuck in there and trying get out but couldn't get over the lip of the dryer. I died laughing after I got him out. Okay, okay I was laughing during because I actually saw him slip in there while on the rescue. He was pretty ticked at the dryer because laundry was done for a few hours. Oh that little boy! 

No more paci on our lives

Okay, so no more paci in his life. We've still go little Miss taking one, but I can say that Wyatt is officially done with the paci just 2.5 weeks before his 2nd birthday!

It has been 8 days and I think it's getting easier to get him to bed. We knew that would be the biggest challenge, but I got him to sleep in 10 minutes last night. I'm so proud of him and feel like he is growing up so fast. I also feel like our next hurdle is potty-training and that my friends is straight up intimidating!!

Finish the Sentence

Linky link time!

1. If calories didn't count, I would eat...Dessert after my snacks instead of just after lunch and dinner.
2. On my Prom night....I most vividly remember the point where the guys line up on one side and the girls on the other and the guys come get the garter by way of dancing. (Why are 17 yr olds wearing garters?!) My date had some rad dance moves coming across the dance floor. Seriously.
3. When I go to the store, I always buy...At least one thing that causes the husband to silently cuss me while unloading the bags. While standing in the checkout line I think of the reason "why" so I feel prepared in defending said item.
4. Family functions typically...Involve me trying to figure out who these people are.
5. I think my blog readers...Question why they are reading what they're reading.
6. I'd much rather be...getting fat instead of working to stay thin.
7. I have an obsession with...snapchat currently.
8. My work friends....Probably wished I wasn't so blunt, but probably wish they could let things roll of their back as easily as I do.
9. When I created my Facebook account....I kept it from my then boyfriend who didn't have one since you had to be in college. His friend busted me out one night mentioning us being "friends." I then had to go home and update my relationship status letting people know I was off the market. Worst day ever.
10. My least favorite word is...Moist, C-U-Next-Thursday, and anal.
11. I really don't remember...much of what happened my last semester of college. Thank goodness I was a camera whore and have lots of treasures from that time in my life because it was fun.
12. Justin Bieber....Would scream rape within the first 15 minutes we were alone.

Night out

Last night was my first night away from Claire. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the first time I left Wyatt simply because I knew she was in such good hands with her Mimi and Pawpaw! I got a little sad driving them over there and sad right before we left. Wyatt did good going to bed for Pawpaw without his paci while Claire only woke up once during the night, which was expected!

It was nice getting to dress up and feel pretty. Ha!

Ryan and I went to hear some bands play. Literally just hearing the bands since talking to our friends was near impossible. A LOT of yelling went on since it was so hard to hear. Us girls actually communicated via pen and paper. Haley held onto those 2 sheets and they were down right hilarious and borderline inappropriate! Okay a lot inappropriate.

It was so much fun getting out with friends! Oh, and of course getting to dance!

With a couple of the band members that basically stole my hearing.

And yes...Haley and I (along with our poor husbands) made it to the 40 and danced to our hearts desire.

I've seriously got to retire from the 40. So far it's the 40-2, Sarah-0.

I still have a hideous toenail from a year ago and this time I ate it. For real...and no one even saw it!! Someone had spilled their drink right before you get on the dance floor and as soon as my high heel hit it, I hit the floor. This is what I woke up to.

Oh, it was such a fun night!!

Say what?

I just couldn't wait for Wyatt to start talking. When he -finally- started babbling I was so excited! He was a "late" babbler I would say. I actually sat in his face one night "ba ba ba ba-ing" until he finally repeated me. I won't ever forget that night. I was proud! Since that he was a "talker" and now he is using his little voice all.the.time.

Here are some of my favorites...

Clow... clothes
Nim nim... vitamin
Muh...mine
Eat eat... He can't just say it once
Cole... cold
Poon... spoon.
Yeh yoh... jello (he learned from Mimi ha!)
Sheshe... dishes
Thope... soap
Bloblo... bubble
Bu...belt

As he adds cute new words in his own dialect I hope to write them down!
