this is long but plesae read it, it took me a long time to rite and i just want to share what my lil man did!!!
so my jaxon finished diner tonight, well i was glad to have that mission over, so onto step two for the night THE BATH...
I gently unclipped him from his high chair, stood him up and asked him every so gently to go to the bath room, then had a giggle to myself what 10month old would take himself to the bath room because mummy asked? I went to put the kettle on when i heard a massive "SPLASH", OH NOOOOOO i thought jax fallen in (i also thought wow he went to the bath) so i ran as fast as i could to the other end of the house hearing a few splashes hear and there on the way (my house isnt that big it just seemed like forever) as i cam frantically thru the door my gorgeous boy looked up at me from the edge of the bath gave me the biggest cheekyest grin EVER and threw in the earbuds "SPLASH" well "splash" (earbuds dont splash that much) then jax went back to the bath room cupboard and grabed the next thing in line which just so happened to be my brush and "SPLASH" in that went as well. As my head gained control of the situation and my heart went back to its normal pace i thought u little bugger, upon closer ispection my lil man had decided to bath everything that was in the cupbaord, things that i pulled out of the bath where, ear buds, shampoo, toothpaste, a fork (ur guesse is as good as mine) mummys supply of pads and tampons, deoderant, shaving cream, hair brush, some jewlery, and a rubber duck, little did i know that my little terror had been runnin up and down the hallway with his spaghetti bollinaise fingers while i was cleaning his bath up, as i gawked at my poor walls jax tried to sneak past, well as much of a sneak as he can get, so i finally got him IN the bath, and realised i forgot a washer... well i thought the linen cupboard is right outside the door i could step out grab it and b back in two, so i was onto it, watching......yup he's still gud..... watching....still gud....watching... yes destracted by squeeeking toy...jump out door open cupboard reach in grab washer and im back in the room before he even realised i was gone right...right....well i dont think so, i was back in the room to see jaxon climb out of athe tub and land ever so gracefully upon the tiles............aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...but he is fine not even a red mark....since when hav you been able to get out of the bath i say to him....well tonight obviously, so he's back in the tub wash his hair, wash him, wipe the fa.....struggle...breaths...squeeels......throws himself...makes some other un identified noises...and face is clean, poo i forgot to do his teeth...i stand up go towards the toothbrush put a smidgen of his toothpaste on it and look back at my little monster to see he has squeeezed the whole bottle of shampoo into the bath.....ok so i brush his teeth....he brushes his teeth......i take the tooth brush to rinse and put away....he screams...and cries and tanties...i give him back the tooth brush, this is not looking good for me..he stands up so i rinse the shampoo out of his hair....well his everything.....and he weee's, sorry champ but i think that means its time to hop out, thankfully i have a towel in the room...get slippery nakey baby into bedroom dries gets nappy...baby's gone...find baby...lay him down...put nappy unnder bum, he rolls over dang it.....turn baby back over grab powder....no luck baby's sitting... so i lay baby down put leg over baby ..baby starts to cry..put nappy unnder bum put powder on and s@#*....wrong way repeat process and do nappy up hold screaming tanty baby who dropped his tooth brush and dress.... BREATH.... make baby bottle put in bed...OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....no teddy where is his favourite teddy....sad baby....crying for teddy baby....i lay him down and try to substitute for different teddy no good, eventually jaxon takes the new teddy not very happy about it... FINALLY the beast rests... i think i might make myself a cuppa as i reach in to get the milk from the fridge what do i find????........TEDDY....so i take a frozen teddy into my poor baby's room and give him his teddy, my veryy content baby lays down gets bottle and hugs teddy looks at me and says for the very first time....LUB YOU... and rolls over with his botty and goes to sleep.....im standing thur next to my BIG MONSTER turned little angel in a matter of nothings...its at these moments you know that it is all worth it, everything you do no matter the drama it is all worth it, and i couldnt help but smile as i was cleaning his spaghetti off the walls....floor....bathroom..... cupbaords....bench...high chair...roof, and then finally me... but all i know is he makes me smile, and i love him with all my heart and soul!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Frozen teddy had me laughing quite a bit.
Yes, it's all worth it. And then some.
