August 8th, 2010Something that makes me happy: Getting better after being sick!
Something I’m thinking: Not much. I’m exhausted.
Something I’m hoping: I’m hoping for a calm week.
Something happening around the house: The cleaners came on Friday, but whatever they did to the floors is awful. It left some kind of filmy, slippery residue in the kitchen, utility room, and master bathroom (including the shower). It’s gross on bare feet and dangerously slippy. Not cool.
Something I’m reading: I didn’t have much time this week for reading, but I did attempt to read a little of Special Topics in Calamity Physics. I did not get far. I’m feeling doubtful about finishing by the end of the month, but maybe I’ll set aside some time or something.
Something I’m watching: We watched another disc of Supernatural. It doesn’t seem quite as scary as it did at first. Of course, that does vary depending on the episode!!!
Something I’m playing: I’m getting my butt kicked in Words with Friends on my iPhone.
Something tasty: Maddie and I made a dairy free blueberry streusel this morning. YUMMY. Cake for breakfast? Sounds good to me.
Something Maddie is doing (29 months old): It’s hilarious how she has to do everything herself (though not always hilarious at the time). It cracks me up when she will undo something that we have done for her just so that she can do it again. Like yesterday, she wanted to wear a green hair bow. I told her that the green one didn’t match, but how about this pink one? She said no, and then she took the pink hair bow from me, stuck it into the bag, and pulled it out. She then said, “how about this pink one?” Hilarious. Maddie is very into books and having us tell her stories (I told her the story of Goldilocks with Maddie in the story instead of Goldilocks – she loves it!). Her favorites at the moment are The Three Little Pigs (she was obsessed with wolves long before the discovery of this book), The Poky Little Puppy, and Pinkalicious (still). Maddie loved her first ribbon dancing class this week (and did quite well!). I’m looking forward to more sports, dance, and music lessons.
Something Cullen is doing (28 weeks old): Little dude had a follow up appointment due to his bladder infection and we will be getting some further tests done this week at the hospital. I’m hoping that we do not find anything serious (or anything at all, really). Cullen tried some more new foods this week: prunes (out of necessity, and he had them all over his face!), acorn squash (loved it!), and green beans (hated them!). He’s also a big fan of avocado mixed with banana as well as avocado mixed with prunes. He’s not a big fan of avocado by itself just yet. I’m not sure what I might be able to mix with green beans to make them tastier for him. This week, I will probably try making butternut squash, peaches, and maybe peas. Little dude is trying hard to crawl. He gets all around the living room by rolling and pushing himself along. I don’t think he can always go where he wants to go, but he definitely gets around. He has done a little bit of getting on his knees and rocking, so we feel like crawling is going to be really soon. He can balance in a sitting position for a pretty long period of time, though he isn’t so stable that I don’t sit nearby and spot him!
Something I am struggling with: Ugh, a nasty summer cold. I am pretty sure we all had it, though it is hard to tell with the kids since neither of them ran a fever and the congestion with this one wasn’t as bad as some. My throat hurt quite a bit, and I think that Maddie and Cullen may have had sore throats as well. It’s so hard to tell when they can’t accurately express how they are feeling. Maddie did complain while eating a few times that her mouth hurt, so I think she must have been feeling the same thing.
Something I learned: The same instructor who does the ribbon dancing class teaches basketball and soccer skills (two separate classes) to two year olds. We might have to give one of her other classes a try. She seemed to be very good with the wee ones!
Something I’m looking forward to: More ribbon dancing and a visit with my parents (hopefully everyone will be well this time).
Something random: We did a tiny bit of tax free clothes shopping for the kids and sorted through bags and boxes of outgrown clothes to decide what to keep, give to friends, and donate. Whew!
Something captured: My babies sure do love each other (for now).

Did Coach K teach the class? Both my girls had her for ballet, and she also did Nina’s ballet b-day party. Enjoy your kids loving each other while it lasts. Mine mostly want to rip off each other’s heads.
