So much on my mind...


I feel like my mind is thinking about a million different things every second of every day. From silly things like, does my child know just how cute she is? Could her painted toes be any cuter? Will my little girl ever understand just how much I love her? To bigger things like crib or toddler bed? When do we transition, do we transition to the crib size bed with toddler rails or just go to the full size bed? Which leads to bedding...I am a planner. I had the fabric for Alex's bedding picked out before we even knew she was a girl. Once we found out, I went full force ahead with her room. So much thought and love went into getting it ready for her. I still love her bedding fabrics, so I'm thinking about making a duvet cover to match the toile fabric that was used for her bumper. I've been working on her bathroom (which is also the guest bathroom) to make it a little girlier. I have a soap dispenser and accessories picked out, but they are way over priced (thank you Restoration Hardware Baby). Am I ever going to be able to find something I like as much or more that is a more reasonable price? On the bathroom note, when am I going to bite the bullet and start really focusing on potty training? Is Alex ready or am I pushing her too soon? Still on the bathroom note, will I be able to get the bathroom how I want it before the wedding shower we are hosting in 3 weeks? Oh the shower...will I ever have my menu finalized? I've changed little details so many times...will we have too much food? Not enough food? Will I have time to make everything I want to? And food thoughts lead back to Alex. She has been so picky lately. She doesn't eat like a toddler, she eats like an adult. She eats black beans, hummus, loves balsamic vinaigrette, anything with lots of flavor and spice. She despises "kid food," chicken nuggets, mac and cheese and french fries. Her eating habits are wearing me out and cause much worry on my part about her getting enough to eat. See, my thoughts just never end and continue to lead to new questions. It's no wonder I am so scatter brained, I can't concentrate on one thing for too long before my mind wanders to something totally different.
