Yesterday evening, I received this email from my daycare provider… Hi Libby, I wanted to show you this when you got here to pick up the kids but it did not work out. Anyway, this afternoon Hayden had asked for some cereal at snack and I gave him about a handful or two then, closed…
Some mornings are rough, especially the mornings when I have a deadline to be somewhere. This morning Violet had a dentist appointment so we needed to be at daycare by 7:30ish to get to the dentist on time. Lately the kids have been sleeping in until 6:30 or later. Violet has been sleeping in until…
The other night while I was making dinner, Violet and Hayden were playing in the living room being fairly well behaved. All of a sudden, I heard a blood curdling scream come from Violet followed by, “He’s eating my face!” Having absolutely NO idea what this could be, I ran out to the living room…
Last night, Hayden requested Llamas in Pajamas as his first bedtime story of the night. Since that book was in Violet’s room, we all sat on her bed for story time. Violet LOVES that book and LOVES “reading” it to us – especially to Hayden. She read the whole book to us, even with a…
Home with the kids on Friday was a little trying with one sick child and the other wanting that attention. Regardless, I still had to stop in to work to do a few things. Normally, when I take the kids to work, they get into everything. That’s okay sometimes and it usually keeps them busy….
We went to Great Wolf Lodge for Hayden and Violet’s birthdays this past weekend. Libby was home with both kids on Friday since Denise had the day off. The plan was to get all packed for the trip up north this weekend. That was the plan… As it turned out, Hayden was sick with some sort…
Tonight we had tuna fish sandwiches for dinner. Hayden ate two sandwiches and his veggies and baked beans. Violet ate a well rounded meal but not quite as much. After they got done eating dinner, we let them go play while Libby and I finished our dinner and sat down and talked. After a bit,…
Hayden has been rather rude as of late. I’m sure it has mostly to do with his learning to assert himself, but his repeated “NO!” has earned him a fair number of time-outs. Most times, he is given the option of a time-out or saying he’s sorry. Occasionally we just ask him, “do you need a time…
Tonight we all rode bikes to the park after dinner (Hayden was in the bike trailer). Hayden and Violet swung on the swings, went down the slide, and ran down “the hill” at the park. You might be saying to yourself “Where is the hill at the park?” It is a mound of dirt next…
