Lackluster
That is how I would describe the relationship between myself and my husband. We love each other, but recently, it seems that we don’t like one another very much. We have nothing other than our son to talk about. We are both very sensitive to each others remarks. We are defensive and unable to communicate effectively.
We have discussed our “problem”. However, we are unable to hammer out anything since we have the whole communicating issue. It is like a catch 22.
I enjoy his company most of the time. It breaks my hear that we have managed to stay married for almost 11 years, but we have nothing to say to each other. Why? I don’t get it. Are we bored? Yes, maybe. Are we tired… yes, but I don’t think it is of each other. We are just drained when it is time for “us” time. So we put it off and on the back burner. Now we are almost like room mates, who on occasion share a dinner and a family outing with the little guy.
I feel stuck. I feel lonely. I know that he also feels this way. The question is what to do about it?"

You Can't Catch Me... (today anyways)
Looking forward to moving on with my life. The last year has been rough. I have been plagued with bouts of depression. I think that I might have found the last year more enjoyable if I had not been suffering so.
Hopefully I can evade those demons that are always nipping at my heels. At least for a while now that I am on the right meds. Yep, back to effexor. But, hey, whatever works... right?

My little boy is 16 months old and can say, "A,B,C,D"! We sing the alphabet alot at our house. He has also recenly become a huge fan of climbing in higher more dangrous places than ever before. It kindda scares the crap out of you when you look over and your toddler has climbed about 5 feet off the floor onto some piece of furniture. (Like a computer desk!) But I guess that's life with our JD. :)
Building A Brain
I like to think that my husband and I are good parents. We try very hard to do what is right for our son and his developement. From food to toys, to books, we are trying to cover all the bases for the growing network in our childs brain.
We also make sure to get plenty of play time. Whaether it's one on one our all three of us rolling around in the floor.
Sometimes my hubby and I just lay there and watch him in amazement. He is so smart. We love to watch his mind work as he figures out things.
He truely is a gift from G-D.
Some of our favorites...
Reading: On The Night You Were Born
On the night you were born,
the moon smiled with such wonder
that the stars peeked in to see you
and the night wind whispered.
“Life will never be the same.”
Playing with wood blocks or singing our ABCs.
Listening to music: Bohemian Rhapsody (we sing this to Jacob all the time, and he loves it!)

Food and a Table
We have recently established the custom of eating all of our meals at the dining room table. This is an improvement from eating in front of the TV in the living room.
My husband and I started doing this because we want to let our son know how important family togetherness really is.
They say there is no place to reconnect like that of a table full of food and family. Given how smoothly the last 2 weeks have gone in my home, I think that this is very true.
I am glad this is a good habit and example we have decided to set for our son.

Today I Know
How my heart breaks as I watch you grow
I know that one day you will not need me
The time has went by so fast
All I can do is stand by, unable to stop moment
While you sleep in my arms
I think about the time you fit in the crook of my arm
Small an sweet
Now you are bigger
One whole year
Still as sweet as the day we brought you home
I hope you always know your mother’s love
If a the day should ever come that you question my love
G-D forbid…
All you’ll have to do is look and you will see it there
A reflection of the beautiful boy that will become a man
Never doubt that I now know what it is like to live
With my heart outside my body
And yes, painful, but it can be done
I know that one day you will not need me
The time has went by so fast
All I can do is stand by, unable to stop moment
While you sleep in my arms
I think about the time you fit in the crook of my arm
Small an sweet

One whole year
Still as sweet as the day we brought you home
I hope you always know your mother’s love
If a the day should ever come that you question my love
G-D forbid…

A reflection of the beautiful boy that will become a man
