Summer is a'teasing

First bbq of the season completed this weekend. This kind of event kicks off what is really starting to feel like summer. Good friends, yummy burgers and patio furniture in action. So awesome. In case you didn't know, I'm a summer person. I could bask in it all year round. Who needs snow, shovelling, slipping, falling, cold? Not me.

I've only been waiting 6 months for this! Seriously. Since Jack was born, I've been dying for the days where the sun is shining and warming my skin as we get out and about. This whole week is supposed to be quite nice out and Mom, Jack and I plan to make the most of it. What to do? The Zoo? River walk? Dog park? All of the above, I hope.

The best part is Jack is SUCH and outdoorsman. He'll be fussy and unsettled. Take the boy outside or even let him look out the window and "presto" - happy boy. He will sit in the baby bjorn carrier for over 2 hours at a stretch as long as he's outside and seeing the sites.

Ok, I'm off to blow my seasonal allergy infested nose.

Yes, I'm still claiming to be a Summer girl - forever.

That boy

It's a good thing he's so cute. This interruption of my dreamy sleeps has got to stop!! Last night he was up every hour, on the hour. WTF? Cal was great to let me get a bit of sleep this morning when Damien woke for the day at 6 a.m. Half the night I slept on the bottom corner of the bed - like a dog. It's truly amazing how and where I can sleep now with no problem. Until a certain wee one wakes for a feed. Sometimes he's actually hungry, but other times, he's just looking for a soother. Which, by the way, he doesn't like soothers. So Mamma Mo gets the starring role instead. Garghgh.

He's sleeping soundly now and we've got a fitness class to get to. I'm going to have the pleasure of waking HIM up for once.

Like I said, it's a good thing he's so cute. No one else can wake me every hour in the night and I still love them to pieces. One little smile and he's got me hooked all over again. :)

I'm really looking forward to a full night sleep this weekend. I hope Cal realizes I was serious about needing it! Otherwise, this sweet, patient, caring momma is going to grow horns and become the true mother of Damien. No one wants to see that. No one.

Signed,
Zzz-deprived Momma on the verge of horns and tail.
