Since this blog has been about all the negative things in our house lately, let me say some nice things about how cute Ohene is. Poor thing gets neglected out of the blog because of all the other crap going on.
Last night before dinner, Ohene was playing with a ball, playing soccer, in the living room and kitchen. I had gone to the kitchen since it was time to get ready for dinner, and he comes over holding the ball and says, “‘Mon….’mon….” grabbing my hand and dragging me to the living room.
I let me drag him, unsure of what he wanted to show me or wanted me to do. He led me into the living room and shoved me slightly towards the sofa and told me to “Sit.” I did as I was told, and once I sat, he smiled brightly, and continued to play soccer!
The little cutie pie wanted me to sit and watch him play ball!!!! Wasn’t that so adorable?!
Ohene amazes me….Sometimes he’s so responsible, too. The other day I told him to sit down on the bottom step and take off his shoes since we were home now. He took them off, and without even having to be reminded, he stood up and put them in the closet. I said, “Oh, wow, Ohene! You’re such a responsible little boy! You put your shoes away without being told!!” And of course, Kwabena wanted to be praised, too, so he hurried over to his shoes and put them in the closet, too. Funny how a 5-year old was being led by a 21-month old. LOL
As for the baby, he’s doing well! I have 37 days left! It’s all coming so fast. I feel ready, simply because I’m ready to be comfortable again–ready to move more easily, lose weight, drink beer (when I’m not nursing–pump and dump!!), and just get back to my old self. But I feel physically unready, sort of still in disbelief that I have to go through labor alllll over again. I can only hope that it’s an “easy” labor and that everything goes well!
I love feeling Kojo moving, and it’s something I look forward to each time I lie or sit still. 🙂 I can’t wait to see what he looks like, too. I wish that he wasn’t coming into such a shitty household. I wish our household could be more normal and loving and cohesive. But it’s not. I guess we’ll just have to make do until we figure out what’s next.
