well...

here I am.. being all BORING again..

I'm thinking of deleting this blog.. making it vanish. in fact, it's so apparent that no one reads it that I'm thinking about paying my husband to post "comments," just so I don't develop a complex.

anyway, I thought I would share that, after about two weeks of looking at it sitting in the box on the living room floor, I finally opened my Wii Fit and set it up. (was a gift, looked cool when I asked for it a while ago..) Mae and I had some time alone during Lu's afternoon nap, and we set her up and did the "Body Test" and she did some "Training" -- aerobic hula hooping and balance practice by hitting soccer balls with her head. we had such a fun time together - just the two of us. we laughed a lot and had a good time watching our Mii characters play the sports.

Mae is purely delightful when we have time together, just the two of us. it's hard because she is LESS enjoyable when her sister is up and around and in the middle of the action. I feel bad that Mae is still learning how not to be the only one who needs me all the time.. she still has obvious jealousy and resentment issues when Lu is too close. we will keep praying that it "clicks" with her someday, but until then we need to remember to savor that time alone with her, one on one.

I'm glad I decided to keep this anniversary gift from Chris -- he didn't know if he should get it for me or if I just wanted a new camera. while I need the camera, I'm glad Mae and I have something fun and active to do together while her sister is sleeping the afternoon away...

(oh, and when I did MY "Body Test," it determined an unflattering weight and BMI for Mommy -- ughhhh... so it automatically makes my Wii character FAT! now if that's not motivation...)

photos next time.. (NO! not of ME -- of Mae playing the Wii Fit!)

loves.
