Welcome To My Blog

Welcome To My Blog!! I am the proud mother to Cruz & Yvonne! My children have taught me that big things really do come in small packages & what true unconditional love feels like. It's a blessing to watch them grow & experience all the wonders of the world for the first time. It makes me appreciate all the beauty in life more when seeing it through their bright & curious eyes. I look forward to sharing my tales of motherhood with all of you, and I enjoy reading your comments.

Cruz Wants A Sibling.

Cruz, who is 3 years old now, has got it in his head that he wants a little brother or sister. My husband and I have been giving it some thought, but we haven't made a final decision yet. It's a big decision. Cruz is just now finally out of diapers, so are we really ready to start over again with another child?

Cruz has no idea how having a baby in the house will change his current situation. He is the center of attention. He has to sit in between his mommy and daddy at all times. He even sleeps in the big bed with me every night. He has a pretty good thing going.

Last night as my husband and I were tucking Cruz into bed, I asked him where would his brother or sister sleep, and he responds, "In their own bed." My husband and I burst out in laughter. The kid just has has no idea how different things would be if another baby was on the way, but I'm sure he would make an amazing big brother.

The Next American Idol.

Yes, it is true you must watch what you say around kids because they will pick up anything. As a pre-schooler, Cruz is always listening and it doesn't take him very long to learn new words, phrases and songs.

Last week, I was playing Tap Tap Revenge 2 on my iPhone and was trying to beat my high score on the song "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3. I played it 3 times in a row and didn't think much of Cruz sitting next to me on the couch playing a game on his iPod Touch.

The next morning, Cruz comes up to me and starts singing:
Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.

I couldn't believe these words were coming out of my baby's mouth, but I couldn't help but laugh about the whole thing. My husband looks at me and says, "You're not allowed to play that in front of him anymore." And he's probably right.

Now every time I play that song on Tap Tap Revenge 2 (when Cruz is not in the room), I can't help but giggle when that part of the song comes up. It was just too funny.
