So far, so good

    Okay, so I was a little nervous about today. It is the first day that I'm completely on my own with both kids. Up until now, Jack has either gone to family, they've come over here to entertain him, or he's gone to Mother's Day Out. 

    After Ryleigh ate "breakfast", Jack and I played cars, puzzles, trains, and colored. I was trying to do more than just "play" as the teacher in me always wants him learning. So, as we played with the cars, we counted them or discussed their colors. Ryleigh then began to wake up, so I decided to give her a bath as she kinda smelt like spit up from the night.  Jack freaked out over her umbilical cord. "Momma her tummy! What's wrong?!" It was so cute. He helped and talked to her while I sponged her off. 

I was feeling pretty good, then lunch time! 

First, Ryleigh had to eat. I managed to distract Jack with a toy that we discussed as Ryleigh finished her meal. Next, since Ryleigh has decided to only eat on one side, I've been pumping and storing the other side. Jack again was so intrigued. He lifted up his shirt and said, "Jack's turn. I put it on my tummy." Too cute. 

So, now Jack is fed, Ryleigh is sleeping, and I'm hoping I'm sleeping soon too. 

Agenda for the afternoon: Make chocolate chip cookies! Yum!
