Happy 4th!
I know. I haven’t posted for a week. Just been super busy. Here’s a quick update…
Monday: Kayden fell off our bed. I think it was like 4 something in the am. I was sleeping with Zoe in her room and I heard Kayden(whose crib is in my room) cry once but then I fell back asleep. Then I heard the hubs putting together a bottle downstairs and then I fell back asleep again. Then I heard *thud* and I BOLTED out of Zoe’s bed with Flash Gordan speed and raced past my husband who was running up the stairs. I see Kayden on the floor facing the ceiling crying. THANK GOD FOR PLATFORM BEDS! He rolled over daddy’s make-shift pillow fortress. The hubs was like “Weren’t you sleeping?! How did you hear that?!” I was just holding Kayden trying to soothe him, “A mother knows when her child’s been hurt.” He laughed and rolled his eyes but I think he’s seriously starting to believe in mother’s intuition. Kayden’s ok. It probably hurt a little but I think it just scared him more than anything.
Wednesday: I was giving Zoe a bath and she scoops up all the suds on her body and strategically plants them on the bottom half of her face like Santa, and then with a straight face, and a deep voice says “My name is Jojo.” Ok Jojo, turn around so I can wipe your butt. Later Zoe and her dad are eating a cheesecake together while I’m doing the dishes and I can hear their conversation…
Zoe: Daddy you like Transformers’ songs?
Hubs: Yeah and so do you! You know why?
Zoe: Because we’re cool!
Hubs: Yeah! And you’re on daddy’s team right! (he’s like totally stoked by the way)
Zoe: No, I’m on mommy’s team.
Hubs: Oh why? What about daddy’s team?
Zoe: You don’t give me any space.
Hubs: What do you mean?!
Zoe: Mommy give me space on my bed.
Thursday: The hubs had a team outing and came home totally wasted. Kayden was already in his crib and sleeping in my room. I was laying down with Zoe in her room reading her a bedtime story when he stumbled in. I just took one look at him and just knew…
Zoe: Hi daddy!
Hubs: Hi Zoe! Zoe I love my family.
Zoe: I love my family too.
Hubs: I love you and I love Kayden!
Zoe: And mommy?
Hubs: Yes
Zoe: And my cousins? Do you love my cousins? What are your feelings about them?
Hubs: Eff them. I love MY family.
Hahaha I’m like “omigodgotobed”. Haha then he leaves, then he comes back a few minutes later to declare his love for us once again and then proceeds to do the running man next to Zoe’s bed.
Friday: Today I am TIRED AS HELL. After the kids went down, the hubs had also passed out and if he drinks he’s sure to snore. I was talking to my friend Hans on the phone complaining about C’s nose level (Get it? Nose level? Noise level? Oh shut up.) while hovering my cell phone above the husband’s face so that Hans could get the whole feel of the experience that is the Susan. Then I went downstairs and fished out old family photos to scan and send to my sister. I got done at 1:30. At 2:30 Kayden woke up. I fed him and got knocked out. 5:30 he woke up again. I sure is tired I is. Today I gotta go home, have dinner, bathe fatty and chatty, and then pack for our little getaway. We have a LONG ASS drive with 2 kids.
Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th.

I got these portable bed rails that go under the fitted sheet: Go Bed Bug bumpers. They work pretty well and are cheap although if I didn’t have them, I’d probably buy One Step Ahead’s inflatable bed rails because they’re inflatable (they also fit underneath fitted sheets) and would take less space in my luggage. That said, since the Go Bed Bug ones are foam, they squish just fine and I’ve used them in hotels and vacation rentals all over the world.
@virtualberta - genius. i might actually look into this! thank you.
