Baby steps

I cannot get motivated! There is so much to clean and organize I don't even know where to start. After a day of cleaning and taking care of the kids, I don't want to go down there and clean a scummy bathroom covered in someone else pee. Yuck. Cody isn't much of a help when it comes to cleaning. He wont even do the dishes.. there is no way he is cleaning a bathroom. I don't even want to get my friends to help me. I feel terrible subjecting them to scum and disgustingness.

I think the most annoying part is I JUST did this. Well, it was 6 months ago. But seriously.. how much of a mess can people make in 6 months. It's gross. If my camera wasn't broken I would take pictures of it to prove how nasty it is. That poor carpet. I try and spend a little while down there everyday. Working in baby steps.



Speaking of baby steps, Parker is almost walking. He took a few steps last week and he takes a few more everyday. He finds it hilarious. He took 7 steps yesterday. He took four, stopped and stood for a few seconds and then ran the last 3 steps to Cody. I wish my camera was working. He is so darn cute with his toothy smile and crazy hair. And he always looks so proud of himself when he is walking. He has even started trying to stand up with nothing around him to hold on to. Jackson is very excited too. Now that Parker is more steady on his feet Jackson loves to hold his hands and help him cruise around the house. It terrifies me, but it makes them both happy. Parker also learned how to climb up on the couch. Jackson loves it and luckily he tells me every time Parker gets up there or we probably would have had some sever head trauma.



Despite how much I love summer, I am looking forward to it ending. We will be back on our feet and living comfortably, Jackson will be starting preschool and the sun will go down before bed time. But we have a lot to look forward to until then. BBQ's and birthday parties and hopefully some lazy summer evenings. A mom can dream :)
