I can't believe how busy I am...all of the time! I know that it is almost Christmas, so I am doubly swamped and freaking out but having a full time job and a baby with you all day is NOT easy!!! The day goes by and I just think about everything I would be getting done if I were a SAHM. The best part though is that when I am feeling overwhelmed by all of the things I need to get done, I just go spend time with my boy on the floor and he takes my mind off of everything else. It's too bad that it is so hard for adults to just live in the moment. With a baby, you have no choice. They are only focused on what is right in front of them and I love that! I'm pretty sure that when I have another baby, I will need to quit my job. I honestly don't think I would be able to do it. But I'll worry about that day when it comes:)
The snow here was awesome and so much fun. It was Cole's first snow and he had the best time playing in it. He kept repeating "snow" over and over again (well, his version of snow..."nooonoowwoonnowowooo"). I'll post pictures of him in it when I get a chance. We still have snow in our backyard and were able to make a snowman yesterday! The night it snowed, he got freezing cold and soaking wet but he could care less. He got SO upset when we brought him inside to thaw out:)
Cole LOVES Santa!! He says his name on a daily basis and he runs to the Christmas tree EVERYDAY and finds the Santa ornaments and points to them and says Santa over and over again. He also loves snowmen. He waves to the one in our yard out the front window several times throughout the night and if he sees a snowman anywhere, he squeals, "NOMAN!!". I can't wait for him to be older and really understand who Santa is and what he does:) But I think he feels the magical appeal of Santa already. He is such a sweet boy.
Back to my Christmas freak out! I am scrambling to finish all of my shopping and homemade presents. The stress I feel resembles that of having a paper due in the morning for school and you are just starting it the night before. The good news is that I always got an A on papers like that (I think all of my papers in high school were written the night before)!! I know that all of this will work out in the end & I will be filled with nothing but joy on Christmas day. I just have to keep reminding myself of that:)
