Play Time or Nap Time??

So recently I have been trying to get Keagan to just stay in his own room and play while I shower. Lately he has been getting a little too curious about mom and dad's bodies when we get ready! This seems like the most practical situation for now, since he cannot open a door yet, unless I want to get up early in the morning to get ready. Let's face it, who wants to set an alarm every morning to shower if you don't have too?? Maybe I'm just overreacting but I figure it is time for him to be out of the room when I shower now! So I just put him in his bedroom and shut the door so he can play with his toys. His room is probably the only complete "toddler-proof" room in the entire house! At first he played fine (I had the baby monitor on so I could hear) and then he started to cry for a minute. I got out of the shower and dressed and realized that it was way too quiet. There was no baby talk or laughing or crying. I knew I would find something good so I grabbed the camera and headed to the door. I tried to open his door but it wouldn't budge. That's when I realized that Keagan had grabbed a blankie from the shelf and curled up on the floor and fell asleep! I squeezed my way in and took some quick pictures. And if you know my kid, you know that he can't keep pants on him when he sleeps, so in was no surprise to me that he took his off before crashing! He of course woke right up and started to do his little sleep talking because he was so confused! Poor kid didn't even know he was supposed to be playing, not napping!

Tagged!

I got tagged and didn't even know it. Sometimes I forget to look at the bottoms of these things to see if I am tagged so sorry!

1. One weird thing about me that some people might not know is that my two front teeth are fake. Well at least the bottom half of them. Two completely separate accidents made them that way too!

2. Another weird thing about me that I'm sure some of you know is, like Angie, my fear of feet. Especially men's feet! I think I have a phobia worse than Angie's though because I won't even let Matt's feet close to me. Sometimes maybe if he has socks on, but that is asking a lot! He loves to torture me with that!

3. I never found myself as "beautiful" growing up. In fact I can remember being almost nineteen before I could think of myself as "beautiful". Growing up around kids that thought of sex as just another thing to do on the weekends was hard. I didn't think that same way so finding boys that supported that decision was hard or impossible! So when you are the only one not getting a date for one of the High School dances, you self esteem gets shot down. I am glad I outgrew that stage of life!

4. I have a little OCD problem. If you even watch me closely it comes out when I'm not even expecting it. I don't like it when Matt cleans the house because there is a place for everything in our house. And if things are not cleaned the way I do it, I will redo it! With our clothes and even Keagan's clothes, I rotate the newly clean clothes to the bottom and the older, clean clothes to the top, so everything is worn at an equal pace! I know I am weird!

5. I never really had a lot of friends that were girls growing up. You can almost call it a fear because everytime I found a group of girls to be friends with, they would do something mean and backstabbing! Guys didn't really care that much about that stuff!

6. Another random thing about me is that I get bored easy, with everything! From my hair down to which day of the week that I do laundry!

7. My biggest fear in life is failure. I am scared that I will fail as a mother, wife, and friend. I have a hard time setting goals or milestones to accomplish so that way I can't fail. I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others that I see better than myslef. I am constantly working on this and it is a daily struggle. I just don't want to wake up one day and find my children grown and miserable from the way I raised them! I know though that if I keep trying, I can get better and have more confidence in myself!
