i keep getting asked the question "so, what's it like with 2 kids?" and to be honest…it's the same as having one. i'm sure i'll be singing a different tune when she's dumping fish food out and scattering dog food with hyrum, but right now she basically just eats and sleeps and so i still get to play with hyrum and he still gets a ton of attention. now when i have 3…i hear that's harder. but i'm excited.
a lot of people think i'm insane for wanting 7 kids, but i look at my two kids and i think…how could i not want 7? i mean we're going to be soooo poor for a really long time but it's worth it. i don't mind not being able to go buy myself nice things and spending my extra cash on a little toy or a nice shirt for hyrum or some pants for hyrum. i don't run around naked so i think i'm doing pretty well. and i get clothes for my birthday and christmas. so why should i spend the money on me and when i could be spending it on my children? i keep hearing comments that i'm basically useless because i stay home with my kids. why would i spend money having someone else do the job i was made to do? i had my kids so i could raise them, so they could spend their days playing with their mom and having fun with each other. so when i hear those comments i think well ouch but oh well because i'm close to my babies! and i loved having my mom home every day. so i get to give them that opportunity.
Hyrum is getting more used to Rohe. now he helps change her diapers and burp her. and when she's sad he pats her head and gives her loves and says "it's okay" over and over till i come and actually make her happy. he's such a good brother. yesterday we were decorating the christmas tree and she was just chillin in her swing and it was pretty warm so we didn't have a blanket on her but he decided that she was cold so he gave her his blankie. and then gave her The Friend to read. he even opened it for her. he's a good little boy.
yesterday morning he dumped out her liquid thrush medicine all over my recliner, wrote with permanent marker on my bed, scattered and ate dog food, and tipped his dresser over. he's a mischievous little kid but he's a good boy. he's got a good heart and he's so happy. unless he doesn't have a nap and then it's an awful day for everyone.
lance sure does love his little girl. right now he's in the living room talking to her and giggling at her. i love my husband. he is the best husband in the world. he helps me so much and is more than happy to do it. he let me have a 3 hour nap today and woke me up so that i would be able to sleep tonight. he woke me up with kisses. he makes me so happy. my favorite thing is when we're in the kitchen and the radio is playing and he grabs me and dances with me. usually hyrum gets a little jealous so he's in the middle of us signing and giggling. lance knows how to push my buttons and piss me off, but he knows how to make me happy in less than 2 seconds. he is my favorite person in the whole world and my best friend.
i have been so blessed with an amazing family. i wouldn't trade them for anything
