Life is so dramatic

Let's just say that living with a 2 year old is never boring.  Most days are fine with only minor breakdowns over things like eating dinner or me saying no to watching a movie.  Every now and then tho, I wonder what it'd be like to be his teacher or his nursery leader where he's generally well-behaved for them, and always happy to see them, whereas he seems to save all of his not-so-charming moods for me.  Why am I so lucky?  I know I know, I just happen to spend the most time with him.  I guess I just have to hold on to those sweet little moments like when I pick him up from his weekly play group/school and he shouts Mommy! with the biggest grin, rather than focusing on 30 min later when he's screaming and crying because he asked for something and I gave it to him.  I know, the nerve.

And yet, when it's time to go down for a nap-something you'd think he'd hate and fight, he's happy as a clam and goes quietly.  I guess I should get used to not trying to understand/predict what he's going to do.

In other news, I'm trying to get back in the swing of keeping up my house a bit.  When I have a kid I kinda give myself a lot of slack for the first month or so until we settle down into our new routine.  Well, we are def in the swing of things and I've let our bathrooms go a ridiculous amount of time without a good cleaning....TMI I know.

I'm not necessarily OCD/crazy neat freak, but I grew up in a very clean/minimalistic environment so I definitely notice when things aren't that way. At the same time just because I notice, doesn't bother me enough to jump right on it cause I'm a bit lazy when it comes to things like that.  I do want to get better at just picking 1 or 2 things to do a day that way our house is always pretty clean.  I have to admit, I kind of like it, tho I don't want to be one of those wives/moms who is going crazy cause their kids/husbands mess things up-I don't mind it being lived-in and want to be relaxed.  Clean, not sterile is what I'm going for.

In other news, last night Cody and I went to see the Count of Monte Cristo (the musical) put on at BYU.  Apparently it's the first run of the show in America so that's pretty cool.  The cast was really talented, tho the sound mixing was a lil off-or at least we were sitting way forward so it was hard to hear what they were saying over the music, plus I usually like to generally know a musical before I see it-enjoy it more.  Still, it was really cool and now we're going to watch the movie tonight cause it put us in the mood.  Love that movie.
