We went to the meet and greet at LG's school. It was nice all day then at 4pm it started pouring down rain and I mean pouring. There were no parking spots so LG and I had to run across the field and the parking lot to the door! Her teacher seems nice, I expected a little speech but we just dropped off her supplies (except for the stuff I forgot oops) and talked to the teacher for about 1.5 minutes. We tried walking around, finding the closest bathroom, doing a dry run of the walk from the door to her class (because we had come in a different one,) stopping by to see her KG teacher but it was still pouring when we left.

The boy likes to talk about what/who is on his shirt everyday. He has a pair of Mickey Mouse pj's. When I ask him "who's that?" he says "hotdog hotdog hot diggity dog."

Back to work. I have been toying with the idea of putting the boy into the Infant and Toddlers Early Intervention program, because he is now 18 months and still not walking. But every time I would take a step towards getting him in he makes a little progress and I think oh he will be fine, so I drop it for a while and it's like he plateaus. So last week I called to get him officially evaluated. I got the call this morning saying his appointment is on the 6th and wouldn't you know it he takes 9 steps! in a row! That's it little boy you have 2.5 to start walking.

By the way we had this for dinner and it was amazing!!! The kids thought it was a little spicy. Next time I'm adding more noodles and more cheese I can hardly wait.
I messed up my roux and need to watch someone make one on youtube real quick, I'm sure I'll get it then.

Day 6 of Staycation: Clean up

Lg lost a tooth yesterday. It's her third but she somehow swallowed the other two so last night was her first visit from the tooth fairy.

This is me caught up on my blogging!!!! (aside from a few edits I put on the back burner)

Took the kiddos to a different quilt store (The selection there is amazing) They behaved very well and LG earned herself a "good deed" punch for carrying the bolts of fabric since Mommy was carrying the boy.

After a very unsatisfying lunch at McDonald's (because the location was convenient) We took the boy to his 18 month checkup. He is on track in every area aside from the walking. Weighs 21 lbs 10.5 ounces and is 31.5 inches tall.

After Dad got home from work we went to Kohl's for some back to school clothes. We were going to go to the gym but they had no infant space for the boy (They have to put him in the infant area until he walks their policy not mine)

Day 4 of Staycation : Family time

We had lunch at the Chinese Buffet. It was OK not great but still good. Then we attended a birthday party at Pic n Paint Pottery hosted by another one of Ella's old friends.

Day 3 of Staycation: Laziness

After picking up the kiddos from Mom-mom at the nail salon we went home and relaxed, The boy and Hubby have a cold and LG needs to finish her summer packet homework.
Her KG teacher sent her home with a 5 minute activity for everyday M-F of summer vacation but she lost it I just found it yesterday and the done to not done ratio is not happy making.

Day 2 of Staycation: Pool

We went with Mom-mom to visit one of LG's old friends and spent the day swimming in his pool. The kids then spent the night with Mom-mom and Paps, they had a bonfire!
