So it begins

I have started to preparing for the most amazing august. I have the diapers,extra towels, and drinks. My family is here from Peru. I will be seeing them very soon. My daughter will be celebrating her birthday. My grandson turned five years old. Or as I would like to say a whole hand full. I have to baby proof my home.

Sean and his family will be visiting us. S wanted to spend the rest of her maternity leave with us. I am so honored for her to choose to do so. I am looking forward to helping them as much as I have helped my daughter. Trying to cram in so much in so little time. I can't wait to get to hold my Liam. Hopefully I can contain myself until he and Zoe get here. I have a lot of love that has been bottled up for them.

Since they will be here almost a month, I want her to roam without fear of hurting herself or breaking something. I do have a lot of knick knacks. I won't be with her most of the time. I have to work and my son won't know where there is potential or hidden dangers. This way she will not hear the word no all the time. She will be free to roam. Peace of mind is what I am going for.

My house is starting to look bare. It reminds me of when my kids were little and they would rough house and things would break. So rather than keep yelling at them and waste money, I just stopped buying things and waited until they were older to resume the decorating.

I am exhausted. It sure looks different. My mom may not be happy with this impression I will be making. If I have to decide between the safety of my granddaughter vs the first impression for relatives, my grandchildren will always come first.

I had to clean my boy's room to make way for all of their belongings. Denis, my youngest, helped me quite a bit. He helped me dodge anything that would incriminate my son. I didn't want to shatter my illusions of my perfect angel. I have heard stories of what young men can have in their rooms. I didn't want to tempt fate. Not that I had anything to worry about. ewww and hmmmm and hahaha

They have plenty of room for their things. All it needs now are occupants. I am so looking forward to seeing them.
