SBean + HBear = Screaming “look at me” “HERE I AM!” always on at top speed/volume/energy
= Loud SBean.
Mommy & Daddy + SBean = Relatively quiet SBean. I mean she has a loud voice like me, my Mom my Uncle R, my Poppy… she comes by it honestly 🙂
2. I had forgotten how easy just 1 is!!!!! Granted, when I had just 1 I didn’t feel it was that easy LOL but now I know better and I felt like I was on a freaking holiday for the past week! 🙂
Without having to get HBear to school and activities while keeping her entertained and constantly fed in between (and remember this is the girl that thinks Sid the Science Kid is her secret crush, she questions everything!!!!!)… All while getting SBean to her activity and keeping her constantly fed with entirely different snacks AND entertained on an entirely different level before she entertains herself and tries to hang from the “chandelier” off the loft bed,
I could just enjoy hanging out with SBean.
4. Cooking for 2 and a toddler that doesn’t eat dinner is very difficult.
I remember cooking for Ninja and I before we had kids but I also remember eating a lot of Boston Pizza and a lot of dinners out LOL.
All our meat is packaged in 3-4 and I don’t like buying a lot of produce because it’s too much for just the 3 of us. We ended up eating take out 1 night, pizza, spaghetti, waffles, steak and going to my inlaws 1 night.
Difficult!
6. On that exact same note if you want to “have it” all the time,
don’t have 2 kids.
I love my life. I love the fact that I am reassured that if anything ever happened to me HBear would still have SBean and SBean would always have HBear. I love watching them interact and show love for each other. If there was an x-ray grinch thingy you would be able to see my heart grow just a little bit each time I see them play together or sing together, or read to each other… the happiness when HBear came through the door and SBean yelled “ROWEY!”.
For some people this isn’t their life and there’s no right or wrong way it’s just who each person is. I feel like we make people in society feel like they should have a certain amount of kids or any kids at all. I know that I have done this in the past because I can’t imagine my life without my kids… just as some people can’t imagine their life with kids. People that choose to only have 1 child or people that choose to have no children should feel accepted and should not have to defend their decision.
Unless you are my sister
Long story short… 2 kids ≠ time to “have it” 🙂
Usually I do 2 loads at least every 2 days and we run the dishwasher every second day. I did a load last Sunday and 1 yesterday 🙂 I only ran the dishwasher twice too, all week! Huh!
Bring it on! LOL
10. I missed HBear so much my arms felt twitchy to hug her. But, I did it! I went the longest I have ever been without my baby. The worrying before hand was probably the hardest lol I’m so happy that I didn’t allow my fears to keep her from such a wonderful opportunity. I am so thankful to my sis, my BIL, my SweetPea and my Dad for giving her the best spring break possible. Thank you 🙂
Pour batter to cover about 2/3 of the surface. Most waffle irons have a light that goes on or off, signaling the waffles are ready. Another sign of doneness is once you see all the steam has stopped shooting out.
Top with whipped cream, fruit and maple syrup 🙂
