lessons learned.

yes...
me along with jesse, elleanne and mark
are all on a giant learning curve again.
we are learning
elleanne, she is learning us...jesse is learning her..
we are learning 2 kids...rather than one...
schedules...obeying...balancing...etc.


oh yes...
ad we are still learning what jesse 
can and can not touch....
even in his own room!

so today,

was actually my first day by myself

with the kiddos.

well as is the title..

lessons were learned.

this morning it was time to nurse elleanne

so i decided to do it 

in jesse's room while he plays with his toys.

well everything was going great

until he decided to reach up for

his musical water globe...

yes he grew overnight and was able to reach it.

 of course i happened to be looking down at elleanne,

trying to get her latched

[still not the easiest thing yet.]

and he got a hold of his globe...

however, he realized it was heavy and in 

a pickle just a little too late.

i looked up, after hearing his whining and saw him holding the globe above his head and part way on the shelf.

he was upset, obviously figuring out he was stuck but

didn't want to drop it.

it was actually really funny,

so while i was still trying to nurse

i reached over to help him out...

but could not get a good reach...

and crash

the water globe came down...

shattering to pieces. 

it was really unfortunate

to have that beautiful musical glass globe break.

lessons learned:

-survey the room before sitting down to nurse

-next time...just un-latch elleanne before trying to help jesse.

-teach jesse what to not touch.

-fragile items should not be in reach.

well, it used to be a glass-snow globe...

that yellow thing by the stuffed animal is the center moon

that is now broken.

...jesse felt really bad...

{note the wet pants-from the globe falling all over him!}

 but after everything was all cleaned up...he was ok...back to playing...just a few tears left over.

ok, next item.

so i have 2 very talented moms

that i want to brag about as usual!

i have 2 pictures,

one are the tutus my mom made for 

elleanne-so cute!

and the other is the blanket

that my mother-in-law knitted!

it is so soft and pretty.

news of the garden:

yea....

tomatoes are already coming {featured in the first picture}

and those rows of green are

sugar snap peas

and 2 different kind of beans.

also those front bushes are my herbs.

and last thing.

mark has a new nickname for elleanne...

she currently has her really bad baby acne.

and she is still slightly on the purple side

in her extremities...and her acne adds to the purplish tint.

so he lovingly refers to her as his:

purple pimpled princess!

{trying saying that x10 in a row!}
