G&G Sundells and the Park!

The picture above is of Peter and Nixon riding a Costco cart.

I try to take Nixon to the park about everyday. Well, last week we weren't able to go because of not so great weather. Peter and I took him this evening and got some video him going down the slides. He LOVES going down slides and loves the park! The other video is of him playing in one of Grandma Sundell's kitchen drawers. He pretty much makes their kitchen a disaster when we go over, but I know they enjoy watching him pull out everything. I can't believe how much personality this little guy has! He is always talking and smiling. He is going to be one great missionary! We love this little guy so much! He makes us so happy! Enjoy the videos!

ADVICE PLEASE!

I need advice. I am having such a hard time weaning Nixon off me. The thing is that it isn't him. It is me. He loves whole milk and will drink it just fine, but I am really sad and I feel more depressed now that he and I don't have our time together and the fact he doesn't "need me". I love breastfeeding him. I love the time we have together. I will go 2-3 days without breastfeeding him and feel really sad that he doesn't need me anymore, so I will backtrack and breastfeed him. How do I make these feelings go away? How can I be okay with the fact that he doesn't "need me" anymore? Why is it so much easier for him then me? I really need advice. I love breastfeeding him and I would do it longer, but I need to stop for personal reasons. I would love advice on how to help me not be so sad that he doesn't need me anymore. Thanks!

NO.

Nixon surprises Peter and I everyday with something new that he has figured out. I was on the phone with Peter a couple days ago and asked Nixon if he wanted to talk to daddy. He shook his head "no" so I asked him again and he did the same thing. I couldn't stop laughing. Here is a video of him shaking his head.

babysitter

So I asked Peter to text one of our babysitters to see if she could watch Nixon while we went to a movie. Here are the text messages


12:30pm

P: Can you babysit tonight?
K: I'm sorry, I have sadies tonight.
P: Alright. Thanks. See you tonight.
K: I'm sorry. I meant that I couldn't.
P: Great. Pick you up at 6.
K: I won’t be able to babysit for you tonight. I will be attending a dance tonight. Maybe tomorrow?
P: I am just messing with you. We will try to catch you next time. Apparently my sense of humor doesn't translate via text message.
K: O lol. I thought you weren't reading it right like I always happen to do!
P: No worries.

6pm

P: Hey I was going to get you some pizza for when you watch Nixon tonight. What kind do you want?
K: Oh um, pepperoni I guess. How long will I be babysitting?
P: I am out front.

6:15
She called us to see if we were serious. Silly girl.


I think I laughed for 15 minutes when I read this. I seriously almost peed my pants! I didn't help that I was still a little loopy from my back procedure. It went well for those who were wondering. I am very sore though. Hopefully that will go away soon. have a great weekend!

Valentine

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

VERDICT

SO...After last night's cut, I was getting a bit worried because my finger was throbbing so bad it was making me nausiated. I decided to go call the doctor just to make sure it wasn't infected. They told me to come in...I told them I had super glued it shut and they said that was a BIG NO NO! I felt so dumb. The nurse said that I should have for sure gone in for stitches, but because it had happened last night they wouldn't be able to stitch it now. She told me that if you can see the layers of skin, that means you need to get stitches. I am supposed to keep it straight with a stick and keep it dry. They gave me a tetnus shot, which by they way is making my arm hurt. That's all. Have a happy day!

TO STITCH OR NOT TO STITCH?

How do you know when a cut is too deep and you will need to get stitches? I cut myself, what I thought pretty bad, and I showed it to Peter and he told me to clean it out and put super glue in it. So we did. It hurst so *bleeping* bad! It is throbbing so bad! What do you think? Should I get medical attention? I was cutting an avacado...nice huh?! You can see the insides coming out...sorta. It's gross!
