Bringing up the boy

Ok, ok, I keep listening to myself talking and talking to Little One. Over and over the same things, brush your teeth again, use your polite words, re-tie your shoes, make sure you treat others the way you would like to be treated, think before you speak, and on and on and on and on.

I realize that this is my job, to bring up my child, but doesn't he get tired of hearing this over and over again? Will I make him an obsessive compulsive person by contantly telling him these things? Now, don't get me wrong, we have our fun and goof off and play alot but it seems I'm saying this more often than not. Do other moms feel the same way I do?

Happy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!! If you only knew how much time as elapsed since I just started. It is now 3:54pm and and the post time as you can see was a while ago.

This past Saturday we went to a local park, Ft. Desto and rented a canoe. The guy told us we might see dolphins and manatees, but I thought "fat chance". I was first in the canoe, then Little One, then DH. Well we were going right along and I turned around to talk to Little One, then I heard it, it sounded like a small whale coming up for air, I turned back around and a manatee we coming up under the front of our canoe. Needless to say I FREAKED OUT and started back paddling, I didn't want us to run into it or for it to tump us over. Well, I guess I scared it as soon as it appeared it disappeared. So the rest of the weekend I was ribbed and all I heard was " We sure wish WE could have seen the manatee". After we were done canoeing, we went for a walk on one of the many piers and saw 5 stingrays swimming just yards from the beach.

We had a very enjoyable weekend!! Blog at you soon, L
