1. Weekend DAYS
This past weekend was my first full weekend being the day supervisor. I learned a lot of new things and enjoyed being completely rested to start Monday morning. I am doing it again this coming weekend. Yay!!
2. Understanding
It is obvious that the boys are able to understand almost everything that I say. I have been waiting for this time for awhile. I can finally see this starting to happen in our day to day lives.
3. Hmmmmm
So this is not something that I am grateful for, but something I wanted to document. EVERY single time I pick the boys up from Lifetime I am given a bad report. Basically the boys are hitting and pushing all of the babies and kids in their path. Last week while I was getting Owen's shoes on a three year old came up and told me that Owen was throwing crayons at his head. Yesterday Owen was sitting in the teacher's lap when I picked him up because he could not be trusted. Cameron hit a kid in the face who was randomly playing next to him (I saw this one with my own eyes!) Just thought this was worth mentioning. Goodness, this parenting stuff is challenging
4. The changes
A few great changes are happening this week and the coming weeks to the house. This week I am having the carpets and vents cleaned. I actually need to buy new carpets but hopefully this solution will last me a few more months. I also picked out some new paint colors to help put a fresh look on these beat up walls. I am NERVOUS about adding so much color and such a big change. The walls are pretty beat up so they need to be repaired before painting. Hoping to have this project is done sooner than later.
5. The boys
Last week Tanya and the boys came over for a short play date before our afternoon nap. Right before they left I turned on a movie. I don't have any DVDs so I put 101 Dalmatians into the VHS. Here are a few pictures of the boys watching. This did not last longer than a few minutes.
First the Ethan and Johnny sat down and then Owen decided to join the party.
Cameron wanted in on the fun. I love this picture of Cameron and Owen looking at each other.
Cameron didn't love his spot on the side so he tried to join the group sitting in front. It was obvious that wasn't working so I rearranged everyone and snapped a few more pictures.
Here is a picture of baby Eloise. Looking forward to meeting her!!
So I am typing this out during breakfast and Owen just reminded me that he took all of his broccoli from last night and stuck them into hole in the highchair where they tray usually sits. My two year old is already hiding his broccoli. hahahaha
