What I want for Tucker

I have all these ideas that I want for Tucker, for instance I want him to really try in school and not just mess around and memorize everything like I did. I want for him to be happy but I have this crazy idea in my head of what makes someone happy, so I have this whole list of things I want for him, mostly a list of things if I could go back that I would basically want for myself. Isn't that what parents do anyways, they learn from what they've been through growing up and say "I never did such and such so I want my kid to do such and such"? That's what I think anyway so here it goes the list of what I want for Tucker:
I want Tucker to be curious about the world
I don't want him to watch those useless children's cartoons that teach him nothing
I want him to explore and learn about the earth
I want him to like something that is real, such as the planet, learn about animals, be interested in science, not silly cartoons
I want him to read, I want him to read so many books that he wants to live at the library
I want him to love being outdoors and love to see new things
I want him to love the ocean and not be afraid of water
I want him to want to learn about all the wonders of the world
I want him to find friends that he can trust and hold on to those friends forever
I want him to laugh, laugh at everything that amuses him and not take himself too seriously
I want him to feel loved every time he looks at his dad and me
I want him to feel trust and security
I want him to love too
There are so many more things I want for Tucker but I will keep the list short, I know he will have his own personality and his own interest but above all I hope he's happy and knows how much he is loved.

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Sweet Moments

As I sit here watching the sunrise out the window I think about how my little boy is going to be one year old soon. Things have changed so much in a year. Life has gotten so much more joyful and so much more complicated. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second little boy and all I can think is I need to hold Tucker as much as I can. I'm sure I'm having every thought that goes through a moms mind when she has a second baby so close to the first. This is too soon, I need more time with my first. I'm scared to add another little rambunctious one to the mix. Will they get along? Will they fight more than they get along? What will life be like? So today I'm going to remember the sweet moments I have with Tucker, like putting him to sleep at night. I don't do this often, Josh has gotten into the routine since I have a growing belly which makes it difficult when Tucker is in a wiggle mood. But a few nights ago I put him to sleep, he feel asleep in my arms. I s...
