Late Bloomer

I am a late bloomer. In my mid thirties, I met the perfect man for me (after years & years of kissing frogs), and after a few months of dating, I got pregnant (oops, but the best oopsie ever). We married nearly a year after our son was born, and we are enjoying the chaos that is our life. I'm a market research professional, a wife, a mother to a toddler, 2 older cats, and a puppy. I also help take care of an aging relative, and I try to retain some sort of exercise routine by running and playing volleyball. My life seems to be in constant chaos, but it's absolutely fantastic!

Super Nanny + Dog Whisperer???

Posted on February 11, 2011

So one of my fears is that my family will have to have both the Super Nanny AND Dog Whisperer in our house at the same time. Really. This is really what I think about. But it gets worse… could they share the film crew? Do you think Cesar and Jo could work together?

Why is this my fear, you ask?

Well, sometimes I think I’m raising crazy children. I have a 2-year old boy — and he is ALL boy — and an 8-month old puppy (half lab, half retriever). My son loves to run and climb, and jump. And the puppy, well, he’s a puppy. He’s seems to really like sunglasses at the moment.

I feel like neither one of them listens and they just run around crazy. Chasing each other, climbing onto each other. Sometimes, I just shake my head and sigh.

I know that things will work out. We just have to keep doing what we’re doing — set the rules, be consistent, don’t leave things around. Don’t buy expensive sunglasses. We just started a “reward” chart for our son — too bad that can’t work for the dog too. Well, he gets rewards for his good behavior, but just no charts.

So sad that one of my goals is to be able to go on a walk with both the toddler and dog — at the same time! I’m shooting for 2 weeks. I’ll keep you posted.
