Late Resolutions

So I know it's WAY late for New Year's Resolutions, but I have had a lot of recent desire to do so. Last night I was sitting with my baby boy in my arms. I couldn't help myself and rocked him to sleep. As I sat there watching him, I was just thinking and thinking. He will be two next week. 2!! And how fast that has gone. How long will he let me hold him and cuddle him? Until he is 4? 5? It just all hit me so hard. This wont last. And it will be gone so quickly. No wonder Heavenly Father and Mother have billions of children. How could you stop? So I realized that I need to treasure this all now. Thus, my resolutions. First the ones centered around Dozer.

1. Spend more time just playing letters with him.

2. Take more pictures and random videos. I just want to remember how his voice sounds when he says his alphabet. And how he skips :)

3. Try to do something new once or twice a week. I know it will be hard in winter, but it is possible! I want it ALL to be special.

4. Get mad at nothing. Even when he colors on the couches with pen. Over. And over.

5. Sing more songs.

6. Go exploring outside more.

7. Read more books.

8. Try to get him to eat healthier foods.

Somehow I think this will be the hardest thing on the list :)

9. Get out of jammies every day.

10. Write in his journal at least every week. And make sure he know just how much I love him.

And resolutions for me :)

1. Eat my fruits and veges every day.

2. Continue with only whole wheat bread, and switch my rice and pasta to whole grain as well.

No empty calories!!

3. Decrease my sweets consumption. I do NOT need a treat every day. Twice a day. Or more.

4. Learn to cook something healthy and YUMMY a couple times a month.

(p.s. LOVE food.com)

5. Cook one meal a day.

6. Watch less TV

7. Keep practicing the piano every day.

8. Get back into an exercise routine. Even if it is just a walk or stretching. Do something!

9. Be more grateful. And express it more.

10. All the others listed above :)

A lot of these I have been working on for a couple months. I am good at getting into a routine, and keeping it for a while. But then life throws curves, and I have to establish it ALL over again! But that is how life goes. :) It is an entire process of improvement and setbacks. So, here we go again! On to 2011!
