Honeymoon Period?

Well Blake and I were up at 3:10 a.m. this morning. We are going to push though the day with no naps. It should be quite interesting! Thankfully Brady and Madison didn’t hear us moving about the house, but Justin joined our party at about 4:00 a.m. Blake and I took Brady and Madison to school and then we sealed his American citizenship by making a trip to Walmart. I feel that now that we have completed that rite of passage we can officially go about business as usual. It was when we were in the parking lot that I began to wonder if/when our honeymoon period will end. Here is what I mean…
- Blake is happy almost all of the time.
- He sleeps very well.
- We have no bathroom issues (other than the obsession for flushing!)
- He loves to give us hugs and kisses.
- He was so good in Walmart. He doesn’t shut down like he is over stimulated and doesn’t try to touch everything and whine when we pass objects that catch his attention

The list could go on. I read so many warning signs for attachment and transition issues. I have been on the lookout for those things, and so far we have no signs of issues. I am trying to enjoy the moment and brace myself for what is to come. Could we be so lucky and forego all of the attachment ‘issues’???

Now we have to attempt to clean up the house. We have things everywhere. I feel like I can’t relax until that is done. Of course a huge thank you to the grandmas. The house super clean and everything was put away until we came through and destroyed it. Ugh! Here are a few pictures for you.

Blake ‘helping’ Madison with her backbend. He tries to copy her tricks.

We went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner last night. The kids did the chicken dance with the mariachi band.

The boys at about 5:30 this morning.

Brady thought it would be fun to drag Blake around in a laundry basket. Of course Brady got worn our before Blake was through getting a ride!

Blake found swimming goggles and wore them for a long time. He found Madison’s singing Dora. I must say I can’t wait for her batteries to run out! :o)
