Oh My GOSH!!!!!

What am I going to do? Jake is leaving tomorrow for a conference, and I am on my own for four whole days! Every time he's gone out of town my family has been here in Utah I wen to Arizona.

Jake made a joke about not envying me. So not funny.

On a lighter note. We bought Morgan a train set that sits on a standing table for his 2nd birthday. Of course we couldn't make him suffer til his birthday in may. Soooooooo............................

He got to open early and he absolutely loves it. He will play for hours by himself. I highly recommend it. He always is playing when I am tied up with Eva which is immensely helpful. And all I have to say is play in your room and he runs away screaming " chooo."

Oh another really exciting thing, for the first time ever. Last week I was able to ask him where he hurt and He said ouch and pointed to his ear. I almost cried because I felt like I can finally communicate with him. Such a big step. I don't think our new neighbors could appreciate how exciting it was. They were like your happy he has an ear infection. I said of course not but he cold tell me did and that makes me happy. I think they still think its a little weird.

For those of you who have kids older than mine, How much longer until he starts talking and doesn't stop?

It's begun! Ahhhhhhh.......

 

Can you believe it? Already, Morgan and Eva have started picking on one another. The other day Morgan was sitting on the bed with Eva and she was pushing him with her feet. Morgan would then start screaming. This was the first time I ever noticed he could say " stop it." Needless to say Eva thought it was absolutely hilarious, and would laugh and put her toes back on his leg, Morgan would scream and Eva would laugh.

I have so much to catch up on. Morgan's favorite and I mean favorite thing to talk about is his basketball. Even if he sees a basketball hoop and no ball he will tell you all about it. His other obsession would have to be dancing. Oh my goodness is that funny. I have never in my life seen a kid so young dance with so much rhythm. His favorite song...... are you ready for this.........

CLUMSY BY FERGIE

I have to tell you if your ever around remind me to have him dance, I don't think you will ever laugh so hard.

One more thing. Like a lot of you I'm sure, I have been attempting to start some sort of food storage. Does anyone have any good ideas on what and how to store the food? I'm trying to avoid buying like 5,000 pounds of cracked wheat. It's to much work to try and turn that over. So I am storing flour instead. But what about canned foods and things like that, Do you know where to calculate how much food you need?

Let me know if you any ideas.
