2 Active Babies and a Tired Mommy

Today RJay kept me very busy. Just like he always does. I don't know if it was the full moon or what but he was wild. The blue basket that you see is what we use for a hamper for him. Since his clothes are so small it's a perfect size. Today I went in and took the dirty clothes out and put them in the washer like I always do and when I came back out into the livingroom RJay had the hamper on his head walking around. Of course once I got the camera and wanted to take a picture he wouldn't do it. I seem to have that problem a lot. Hopefully he will soon get used to me taking pictures all the time and not even notice when I take them so I can get some good ones and not "after the fact" ones. Then he started to read my book. With one slipper on as you can see. He LOVES to read which is really good and he picks out a book and "reads" it just as much as he picks out a toy and plays with it. He's very good with books most of the time too. Once in a while he will get excited and rip a page out. We're lucky enough that my sister "donated" all her old books (which were actually a accumulation of all of our old books) so the old books that Auntie Ni Ni already colored on and ripped when she was younger are on a shelf were RJay can reach them and "read" them and all his new books are up on his drawers were he can't reach them. This prevents the new books from being ruined. Although we have been lucky and only a few pages have been torn out of any of his books.

Then after all that reading he decided to "write and email" to Nicholas. When I am trying to do something on the computer and RJay wants to "help" I sit him in the computer chair next to me and give him this old keyboard and he "writes and email to Nicholas" . Nicholas is RJays friend that lives in Massachusetts that also has a blog and we go look at his pictures all the time. Hopefully soon RJay and Nicholas can get on the web cam and see eachother since they don't get to see eachother very often in person. RJay also found time to open up his cousins Christmas presents. We have sent out half of them but the other half are waiting for a box so they were on the table and RJay climbed up there and decided to open them. So now I get to re-wrap them. He found time to open up the cabinets while I was doing the dishes, causing me to do the dishes while holding the cabinet closed with my foot. And of course we can't forget when we sorted out his toys and had to clean them up ATLEAST ten times over and over because whenever Mommy put them in the toy box RJay took them out. Or when Mommy was organizing the changing table and RJay climbed onto the shelf under the changing part. One of these days he's going to fall through that. So needless to say RJay has once again exhausted me. He's very good at that. Then to top everything off Frankie has been beating me up. Of course this is nothing new but I have had some really strong contractions today and I don't see why she can't give me a break. No one seems to understand that Mommy needs a break too.
