Confidence

Ezra is getting more and more confident every day.  The other day a song came on the radio and he started singing with it, which really means he mumbled in a monotone, and at the end he said, “Mommy!  I’m a great singer!” to which I replied, “You sure are!”

Yesterday he went to the bathroom and came out without his undies on.  I asked him to put them on and he said he couldn’t, so I told him I guessed he didn’t need an ice cream then.  He quickly informed me that maybe he could put them on by himself after all.  I mean, we were talking about an ice cream sandwich here, folks!  I told him, “The tag goes in the back and the pocket goes in the front.”  He put on his underwear and proudly said, “I did what you said!  I learned how to put them on!” and several times last night he reminded me that he learned what I told him and he could put on his underwear now by himself.

I love that he’s getting more confident in himself and his abilities.  He’s growing into such an amazing little man, it’s awesome.  It also reminds me that I should try to be the best me that I can be, because he’s watching and paying attention.

Jesse and I are finished having kids.  He got a vasectomy a few days ago, so that route at least is closed to us.  That’s not to say we won’t look into less traditional methods if we decide our family is not complete, but no more bio kids for us.  It seemed like a fairly simple procedure and of course it’s much easier for the man to get snipped than a woman.  He seems to be in a little pain but between icing his nethers and taking ibuprofen he appears to be handling it ok.  He is not supposed to hoist anything heavy so I’ve been the main caretaker of the kids for a couple days.  I guess in a couple weeks he’s supposed to go back in and leave a deposit so they can check to make sure no swimmers are getting through.  One of my friends at work says her husband had the procedure done and was checked and cleared, and then five years later he got his (now ex) wife pregnant.  Apparently his boys found a way through after all that time so then he had to go through the procedure again.  Good times, huh?

On a completely different note, I put together the other two workout machines this weekend.  Jesse had put together the Gazelle before he went camping but I hadn’t gotten around to putting the other two together.  I was able to put the twist stepper together super easily and upon testing it out I feel it’s going to give me a good workout.  Putting together the body trac rowing glider machine was another matter.  I was so pissed at that thing!  I had to put six bolts through and I just could NOT get them to go in.  I was able to get the two on the right in (after much determination) but the two in the back weren’t screwing into ANYTHING and the bolts on the left just would NOT line up correctly.  Ezra kept asking me to play a game with him, and Leo was starting to get fussy and cry and I was sweaty and perhaps I yelled at Leo that he was fine, gosh darn it!

I kept looking at the instructions and everything looked like it was supposed to be set up correctly.  FINALLY I realized I actually had the front piece on backward.  I turned that piece around and suddenly the back brackets had a plate they could screw into.  The side bolts still were not super simple but I was able to get them into place in a timely fashion and then the rest of it was easy enough.  I’m actually about 15 lbs heavier than what is recommended for max weight, but I’m hoping it won’t matter much either way.

I’ve been creating YouTube videos under my eBay Arsenal channel.  Basically they are videos about the eBay selling tools and how to use them.  I’m focusing on Turbo Lister primarily for now, but will be branching out to expand more topics as time goes on.  It’s kind of fun and it’s nice to have a resource to point members to when they call looking for videos.  I make sure in my videos that I’m not representing eBay, I don’t even mention I work for the company because I don’t want any legal issues happening.  I also linked it to the Google Adsense and so far I’ve made $0.22!  Hoo-wa!  Big money.  I also created a Twitter account and created a website called eBay Arsenal, which is basically just my YouTube videos.  I don’t know it’ll ever be a big money maker, but I feel like I’m in a unique position to help out others and any money made on the side will be a perk.

I tried using the dog clippers again and while they tolerate the clippers better than the dremel, they still don’t like their nails being messed with.  I was able to clip some nails, but at the end I was basically just holding their paws and touching the clippers to the pads of their feet.  I think I’ll need to desensitize them to touching the nail clippers first and work from there.  A never-ending prospect on the to-so list.
