Day 178...Sundays are the best!

Jul 17

As much as I enjoy spending Saturdays with Eli (it's the only full day we have together), I find myself more and more looking forward to Sundays. Sundays are the days, that I get to spend with just Martyn, for the full day. Even though I also want to be productive on Sundays, and get things done around the house, I get so much out of spending the day with my son.

Yesterday, I spent a great deal of time cleaning and organizing the upstairs room of baby stuff, so it can now be a play room too. So I took advantage of that today, and brought Martyn up there to play for a while. It's bright an cozy in that room. It was rainy, and wet outside, and felt so nice to just sit down on the carpet and play with him for quite a while.

I even finally hung up the little string/ribbon of "blessings" from everyone at my baby shower. So now, that room is play room for baby, and project room for mama still....though I keep thinking of projects I may want to do that require more space than my little room upstairs.....I have my eye on a corner in the garage, which is a project in it's self.

Yesterday, Eli and I were talking about making our house feel more permanent. We rent there, and can leave any time we want....or our land lord can kick us out any time he wants, but we have a good relationship with him and it's mutually beneficial for us and him, if we stay for a while. We've been there for a bit over a year and a half now, and I haven't even hung any pictures up. We decided to just commit to staying there for a while. A few years maybe. I'm looking around the house, thinking of how I'm going to "mobile-baby-proof" the place now that Martyn is so close to crawling. He still has a ways to go, but it won't be long at all. I'm thinking within the next two months, he'll be crawling.

I'm also looking around the house, with the idea in mind that I want to have another baby in another couple years or so, an we would out grow this place with two toddlers....the house, not the yard. Still though, for the time being, it's time to make the place feel more permanent than it does now.

Even though it was a pretty lazy day overall, I still got a lot of chores done. I love it when that happens. I loved spending the day with my sunny boy, too. I like not feeling stressed on Sunday, about taking him to the baby sitter on Monday, too.
