I can't put my finger on which leaf has turned over recently, but something has changed. I am finally coming out of the undulating emotions that have paralleled my sleep deprivation in the last three years. It's not just the seasons changing, but it does seems appropriate with the holidays upon us that I am feeling more Joy and Gratefulness on a consistent basis. And it is wonderful. I am falling more in love with my toddlers and our simple daily activities more than ever before. The only thing that would make it better would be to throw a river, mountain, and forest in our backyard and then we'd be true adventurers. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I was childless I always thought that parents spoke of their children as opposites. Like one is wild, the other quiet, conservative. Well, that's certainly not true around here. Neither stop. Ever. There is no timid little princess to be found in our home. Instead you can find them on top of things. If they are near to the ground, which is rare, then most likely there are wheels under them. (In our annoyingly tiny garage we have 68 wheels - bikes, skates, boards, wagons, strollers). Don't get me wrong, I love it. If we end up with a little gromette that becomes a professional surfer or a world trotting mountain climber then I will not just be stoked, but I will be trotting along right behind them. The only problem that comes with this is the unnerving anxiety that accompanies all of this. I am sure it is a combination of working in an ER and motherhood, but it is rare that anything streams through my mind without constantly thinking of worst-case-scenarios. </span></div>

The other day Robby found her in the bathroom sitting on top of the tank of the toilet. At the end of the summer when we spent every day in Nani and Papas pool, she just walked off the step like she could confidently swim. She charges right into San Diego bay the same way, at our favorite little spot, Kellogg beach. Recently she went from literally only saying "doggy" or "daddy" ? in reference to <i>everything</i>, to sounding out all kinds of words. She is also becoming more cuddly, which is adorable. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Riley would only wear underwear everyday, everywhere if it were up to her. Although when she must get dressed, she has recently become very proud of herself for dressing herself. She also would only eat chocolate if she decided her diet. I could write a book on the things she says alone. It is hilarious listening to a 3 year old develop grammar and form sentences about what goes on in their little heads. She loves riding her bike. It's one of those gliders. About a month ago the gliding idea just clicked and now she just picks up her feet and goes all the way down the street without putting her feet down. It's a huge accomplishment for her and us. Now we can go on rides around the neighborhood, with Ava on the handlebar seat and Riley riding by herself. It's these kinds of things that are so fulfilling to me. She loves crafts or "projects" as she refers to them. Which is also very easy for me. She loves playing pretend "Okay, now you're mama and I'm the kid." Another huge summertime accomplishment was her ability to swim like a fishy. Thanks to her lessons she became such a good swimmer! Next up, I cannot wait til they are just a touch older and we can have campouts in the backyard and sleepovers with their cousin Luna. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">With the girls being a tiny bit older and independent, Robby and I have been able to take a little more time to ourselves. We went to Portland for a long weekend, just the 2 of us, in September. Having no responsibility or schedule for a few days was surreal. I also did a little local beach camping with some amazing girlfriends. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know one day I will look back at these days and wish for the simple stressors that come with little girls instead of more grown up worries. I was driving home from the beach one day this summer when it dawned on me that once Riley starts full time school then this 12 year run of never being committed to a Monday through Friday schedule of mine will come to an end. Since college I have never had a job with a "normal" schedule. Iv'e been able to come and go as I please. The thought that one day soon I won't be able to travel with the girls whenever or go the beach in a moment's notice was shocking initially. I try to appreciate our lax days since this. I try not to judge myself for not being a teaching type of mom. If I were to attempt homeschooling, my children would end up as bohemian artists. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After I posted the other day, I remembered a few more milestones and events that I had forgotten. In September, we had a combined birthday party for the girls at the Waterfront park in San Diego, then that night Riley got so sick with croup that she had to go to Children's ER in the middle of the night because she couldn't breath. The following night, Ava, at 13 months, climbed out of her crib. These girls, I swear. </span></div>

She is One. The day she came into the world I looked at her for the first time and didn't know quite what to think. I loved her immediately. But that immediate connection wasn't there the way it was with Riley. I can't put into words how I have grown to be connected with her now. I love that I feel a different, yet equally deep connection with my daughters. I look back at pictures of Ava in that first few months and it is unreal how much she has changed. She is the sweetest thing. She is funny and energetic, scoots like a gremlin on a lightning bolt. She bites. Oh does she bite. She has the hugest two front teeth I have ever seen on a baby. She is fascinated by her older sister. Riley makes her crack up in laughter. She is petite, in the 20 something percentile for height and weight, but her head is in the 70th. She is always bonking that thing and getting little bruises on her forehead. Silly girl. She still has a set of lungs on her that can be confused for neighborhood birds, except when you are indoors. I am sure the people trying to enjoy their meal in restaurants with us love the sound of a happy little baby squawking with delight through their meal. It is SO loud. She doesn't walk yet, but she scales. She can climb up slides, sets of drawers, onto ledges that are almost as tall as her. I like to "spot" her and let her do her thing and see what she can accomplish. Her climbing ability is quite fascinating. She loves swings and can get pretty upset if we take her out of one when she isn't finished. She doesn't like to be fed. She has to take it in her own fingers and feed herself. I'd call her fairly independent. But when she sees mama after a day without her at work, or even just a couple of hours, she immediately loses her little mind until she's in my arms. Even when wearing pink, she is assumed to be a boy by strangers. I get it when she's wearing neutral colors. But pink and purple? C'mon. Ava, you are adorable. You are beautiful. I cannot imagine my world without you. You make me laugh and smile. Thank you for sleeping better than your sister and giving me hope. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that. Oh, my Av, I am so excited to see you grow. But I also want you to be my little baby forever. Happy first birthday my sweet little bird. </span><br />

It's the Three's that are rough. Rough? That may be an understatement. Riley. That girl. She's rounding the corner to three and she just gets more wild by the day. She is too smart. If I ask her a direct question, she will go into this secret language where she shouts weird made-up words like "hootie" or "toca." She knows exactly what she is doing when she ignores me. Here's one odd-ball example: we went on a boat in Alaska and she would not tell Robby or I which animals we saw that day. The next morning she met my friends niece on FaceTime and when their family asked if she saw any Alaskan wildlife, she simply said "Yeah, Whales, Puffins, Orcas..." She is unbelievably defiant. I have tried disciplining her with soap and she says "more soap please" when I take it out of her mouth. I tried taking her favorite toys away. Her response to that was to push Ava, look at me, then hand me her favorite toy. Attempts at Time-outs of all kinds? She requests them. She'll do something naughty, then look up at me, tilt her head and say "Time out please." Take away her iPad, no problem, she'll find something else to entertain herself. Smack her hand, she'll say "do it again!" Or she'll whack our hand back. Listening and following directions is not her forte. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">While I am on the subject of how curious this little creature is, let me also note a few of the things she has asked for in the middle of the night. And I really mean the middle. These are 2 AM requests. Cheese samples, for the tags in her pj's to be cut out, for her nails to be cut. And of course the standards - a soft blanket followed by a not soft or "cold" blanket as she refers to it, ice water (it must have ice), a specific stuffed animal that she has not played with or shown any interest in for months. These are just some of her nightly requests. Anything to get us back in to her room for some social time in the odd hours of the night. This girl is crazy. </span></div>

I just love these two. Being a mom is the craziest, by far most stressful, and yet most unreal, most radical, best thing ever. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ava has gone from being incredibly quiet while inspecting the details around her, to being quite a little jokester. She does a little stare, like the quiet before the storm, and then cracks up and throws her body around, so much so that she bonks her head on the ground sometimes. She started to pull herself to standing just today. She crawls like a gremlin just like her big sister did. She is teeny tiny, just like Riley too. I guess I make 'em small around here. She is such a mama's girl, and I don't mind it a bit. She has 5 teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Riley is smart and beautiful. She knows what she wants and tries her hardest to get it. That is nuts to me that I am describing a 2 year old. The girl can push my buttons. I read something on Facebook once about your children being your little gods, in a way that they see where you need to grow (for example Patience) and force you to work on it. It was a great post, I wish I had the link. One of the funniest things right now is how she pronounces her R's when they are at the end of a word. She sound like she's from the East Coast, maybe Boston or New York when she says "your." She also is becoming quite a little fish thanks to swim lessons, enjoys Dora on her iPad, and loves giving Ava a kiss and hug as soon as she wakes up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Robby just completed his second Ironman 70.3. We made a trip out of it to St. George, Utah then to Zion National Park. I took 2 weeks of "baby bonding" time from work. It was a very nice 2 weeks. Robby did really well, especially since the temp was in the 90's on a tough, hilly course. Love you babe. He has become quite the endurance athlete. He is so driven towards better health. It inspires me. I love that I am inspired by my spouse after being married for almost 10 years. Not bad, huh? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm kind of in a holding pattern. I am not completely content with life, which is usually my norm anyways, and which I find to be a good thing. However I am happy. Very happy. Today, Riley was sitting in my lap, then in front of her, Ava was in her lap. We were reading one of those soft, touch and feel the animal books. Riley was showing Ava how to do it. For a moment, life stopped, I was so fulfilled. I wanted life to remain stopped forever in that moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Generally though, I am always wanting and expecting a little more. Speaking of wanting a little more, I am taking steps towards a more Minimal lifestyle. More to come on that. For now, here's a few pics to recap the last couple of months. </span><br />

It's starting to get really fun watching Ava interact with her cousin Luna (who turned One today - happy birthday Luna!).chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688797126112046491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063774931664513457.post-58512985868374157682014-03-20T20:36:00.001-07:002014-03-20T20:36:04.251-07:00Roughin itBy "Rough," I mean how hard it is to live in San Diego in late winter (jealous, East Coast and Alaskan friends?) It's been in the low 80's a lot of this month, which leads to picnic lunches in the yard and trips to the parks nearly every day that I am off. How can I complain (for example, about, yes you guessed it, sleep deprivation) when I have my healthy family and this wonderful weather.<br />

One of Riley's favorite topics is the future…Whenever I say "No" to something that's not quite safe for her yet, she asks when "Riley bigger? Riley older?" That's her referring to herself. Always in the third person. And now Riley has expanded her grown up world to Ava. When I remind Riley, no sweetie, Ava can't play with pennies for example, she pauses and says to me "Ava older? Ava bigger?" Then she even adds "Ava run, Ava crawl, Ava have hair?" Yes babe, when Ava can run and crawl and has hair, maybe we'll re-evaluate if she can play with pennies. The way their mind wraps around concepts never ceases to entertain.<br />

In other exciting news, Ava got her first little tooth. I know all of my readers were on the edge of their seats for that one.<br />

Riley is potty trained. Or I guess I should say Riley is treat trained. I'm not sure if she has bladder control or just decides to 'go' because she wants an M&M. She's addicted to chocolate. Addicted. Every morning she starts her day with a piece of chocolate if she stayed in her bed once it's bedtime the evening before (instead of climbing out and running giggling into the living room 3 to 50 times like she used to do).<br />

Ava is 7 months and doing that little lean into a crawl position, then pancakes into a swimming motion without actually going anywhere.<br />

Robby is training for another half ironman. He found this training program tailored towards family men such as himself, where you put the least amount of time in, to make the most efficiency out of that little bit of training time you can squeeze into working 96 hours a week and coming home to a part-time-stay-at-home crazy wife that expects your help as soon as your foot is through the door. I'd say as soon as your car pulls up, but maybe that's why he bought a Prius. Can't even hear when that little things engine is on.<br />

Last topic for today's blog is Riley on Discipline. Let's start with Timeouts. She asks for them. Literally. She'll push Ava, look up, and ask "Time Out?" Then walk herself to the wall and stand there for a couple of minutes. Not giggling, not interacting, just waiting for it to be over. Then will obediently say sorry to Ava, kiss her and move on. Only to push her again tomorrow. Really Riley? I tried putting soap in her mouth and she says "Mmm, spicy. More soap please." We talked about toys being taken away if she continues not listening. The next time I gave that look, you know moms, the one with the eye brows up, that says 'you're not listening,' - she says to me "hmm, take away toys please?" What am I to do with you honey?<br />

Wafa is expecting a baby girl any day now! I got to take Ava and give her that goo-goo gaga baby attention that she doesn't get nearly enough of, as it's divided with her sister most of the time. I was so proud of the great traveler Ava was. When my girls travel well it just makes mama so proud. Good job sweets. While I was taking a shower or something one morning, Wafa and her wonderful childless, yet child-adoring girlfriends set up a fashion show for themselves with Ava as their headband model. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Took a few trips to the Colorado river, celebrated cousins turning 3, and had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with family. </span><br />

She sits up so well. I am so proud of my two little girls. They can drive me crazy, that's for sure, but they bring me such unmeasurable joy. Ava seems so in tune with her surroundings. Sometimes she is so serious. Sometimes she is mesmerized by her big sister, just staring away at her. She is completely distracted by the TV or her sister or the dog or a bird chirping when I try to nurse her. She must know what's going on around her at all times. She has also become very easy going. This, I am thankful for, as I try keeping up with Riley daily. Ava just sits with her toys and happily plays. When I get moments, especially during Riley's afternoon nap, to snuggle and play one on one with Ava, she is so delightful. She giggles and smiles, and of course, definitely during Riley's naps lately, squeals so loud and so so so high-pitched. It's so comical. She started eating solid food a little after she turned 5 months. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And Riley, oh Riley. She keeps me laughing one minute and working so hard on patience the next. That girl has so much personality, but remains reserved on initial contact with new people. Love that about her. She has to feel a person out before she dazzles them with her silliness. Her favorite pastimes to add to playing with Fisher Price Little People and her dolls, and jumping, are picking her nose and pretending to be in marching bands. Oh her simple and wonderful little life. </span><br />

Our desktop is in our bedroom. It's past bedtime. What I'm trying to say, is both girls are asleep in their shared room of our 2 bedroom house right now. I have my own bedroom to myself for the moment. I am happy. This happiness may be short lived when one wakes the other cyclically through the night. Here's to optimism. </span><br />

It made me a little crazy. It made me jealous. It made me envious. It made me feel inadequate of my own dreams.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am perfectly happy with my life. Except sometimes. Like when I let other people's lives via social media get in my head and stay there for a little too long.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to sit here and blog without jostling a baby on my lap. I want to enjoy a bottle of wine over a slow dinner with Robby without having to consider pumping or nursing. I'd say 2 bottles, but I know I couldn't handle that much liquor these days. I want to sleep through a night. I want a sitter to fit into our budget daily like no big deal so I can work out or just go have a macchiato by myself. I want to sit on a hillside and watch gorilla's play gloriously in their own habitat (you'd have to read one of the earlier mentioned blogs or accidentally be sucked into listening to my daily rants to understand that one). I want to board an airplane by myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But wait, I chose my life. Really, no really, I do love my life. One day I'll have two grown girls and all I'll want is to have one of them be the size they are right now so I can jostle them on my lap as I try to blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to be more patient.</span>chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688797126112046491noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063774931664513457.post-81579165621709877002013-11-03T20:57:00.001-08:002013-11-03T20:57:25.406-08:00Stubborn and determined<span style="font-size: large;">I went back to work. I love work. I love uninterrupted conversations with adults 2 days a week. It's a work in progress for Ava to drink from a bottle still (poor Robby) and still, after more than 2 years, we daily work on Riley's sleep. It's all temporary. I keep telling myself this. It's all temporary. At the same time I don't want them to grow. Where does their determination come from? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made halloween costumes for the girls. As I was burning myself with hot glue, I kept thinking (and swearing away in my head), why why why do I choose to spend my time this way when I feel so tight on time as it is. At least they turned out cute. Next year I'm buying costumes. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this action shot…Riley always so playful (despite jeopardizing Ava's safety), Ava pushing her bedtime for some pictures with the pout coming out, and Luna's rolls and smile (have you ever seen a cuter peacock?!). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This little sweetheart surprised me and rolled over from her tummy to back today for the first time while we were at Nani and Papa's house. Good job Av, you little cutie. </span>chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688797126112046491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063774931664513457.post-92192690691764060892013-10-21T21:01:00.000-07:002013-10-21T21:12:19.213-07:00Finding the flow<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not much too new is going on in the Fleisher house. I start back to work part time this week. I'm excited, except for the fact that I have kind of got a flow with my 2 girls, only to probably screw it all up by returning to work. Despite <i>many</i> attempts Ava isn't so hot on taking a bottle. So...that should be fun for Robby when I am gone for 13 1/2 hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There have definitely been rough days. As in I've never felt so much stress like this. One minute I'm praying for Ava to be just a few months older and independent, the next I'm wishing they'll never grow. I look at Riley and how perceptive she is and expect so much, sometimes forgetting she's only two years old! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Riley is talking up a mini storm. She hears things and it sticks like glue. She is definitely, no doubt about it, the funniest person I know. She finally eats. She was going on a 6 month binge and purge diet. She processed about 80% of all, yes, <i>all</i> of her food. Just took a taste or a chew or two, followed by literally spitting it all out. It's taken work, but she's starting to digest her food. What a concept. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started Crossfit. And LOVE it. Not only is it pretty much my only break from the girls, but it's something I have thought about but never followed through on for years. It's nice feeling healthy and nice learning something new. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Robby signed up for another half ironman next year. Of course he chose one of the most difficult ones you can do in the United States. Good job babe, real smart. He spent his birthday fighting the fires on Camp Pendleton. Again, good job babe, but this time I'm not being sarcastic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ava is smiling and talking a lot. She is less intense and serious, and enjoys interacting more. She continues to be more independent than Riley was as a baby which is an absolutely wonderful break for mama. She's not as stoked on car travel or being on the go as Riley was, but if you time it right, it all works. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We went to the Colorado River for a few days. After Andy & Ashley left, we trialed a day on the River with just our little family. It was pleasant and doable, but was quick. Why quick? Here's the math: A Rottweiler (with enticing ducks and things very nearby), a baby (always potentially about to lose it), and a two year old (you know 2 year olds, so add your own ideas here). On a boat. One adult must drive the boat at all times. When entering or departing the water, another adult must drive the trailer. Sound like fun? I think I mentioned on the Hawaii post, but there should be a step-down word for vacation when you have little people with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tia Holly went back to work and now we don't get to see her or Luna (or Jose - but he's not as cute as Luna, so I forget about him) enough. It's seriously a bummer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And that's the exciting news on Siesta Drive. </span><br />

During the "vacation," if that's what you call managing an infant and a toddler while trying to relax, we stayed in Kona. We shared a place right on the water and enjoyed waking up each morning to the help of grandma (Na-ni), grandpa (Pa-pa), Tia, and Tio, and to the fulfilling smiles of Luna. Attempting to rock the babies to sleep on the patio with the turquoise ocean just yards away and falling asleep to the sound of waves was unforgettable. The little people all traveled well. We are so thankful for family and traveling. </span><br />

I mean you are a baby, so pretty much you are adorable, you sleep a lot, eat often, and cry sometimes. Your crying is getting a little easier to understand. At this point we wouldn't call you an easy baby, and at times we have definitely called you an angry baby. You stare at people very inquisitively, almost seeming as if you are going to be a deep thinker, or very confident. It could be that I just get lost in your deep blue eyes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On Riley's birthday we baked a cake in the morning, went to some discovery center in Chula Vista and had family over for pizza dinner & cake.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ri, you are hilarious. You are mischievous. Very mischievous. You are excellent at avoiding eye contact when you have done something you shouldn't. You love to dance. You certainly didn't get your rhythm from your parents. You are a risk-taker, always wanting to climb, be thrown high in the air, and push the limits. Upon meeting new people you are so shy that they tend to ask if you speak. Within a few minutes you take their hand and lead them away to do something you want. I've yet to see someone resist. You are sweet and soft spoken. The way you say please 100 times makes it so hard to not give you the world, no matter what you are asking for. You have the cutest tan and the most amazing curly hair. You are just starting to come out of a phase of chewing then spitting out almost 90% of your food. That may explain why you are in the 5th percentile of everything. Such a petite girl. You love nursery rhymes. You are a wonderful big sister. Always so excited when your sissy wakes up, you rush at her saying "eyes open!" Your favorite person is your Aunt "Tia" Holly. I don't think you could ever get enough of her. Nor she of you. You are incredibly stubborn, unbelievably entertaining, and perfect in every way. We love you. Happy Birthday to our little two year old.</span><br />
