BabyStandish all the coffee for you and hope you have a great yoga class!
I am looking at all the boxes wondering where to start. Hopefully B goes down for his morning nap so I can get something done. When he wakes up we may walk to our new closest library for storytime if it doesn't rain! Hope everyone has a great day! And littlelion today's the day YH comes home right?!? Woohoo!
BabyStandish enjoy yoga! I wish there was a yoga place around here with childcare so I could go. I miss yoga!
AFM, just hanging with LO today. I'm going to eat up my time with her, because I'm leaving in two weeks for four days (it's for school). I feel bad about it- as soon as I get back, I dive head first into full time clinicals. My kids are going to be bummed
littlelion, yay for YH coming home!! How are you feeling mama?
I missed you guys last week. I was working remotely out of my parents' house in NJ the whole week and it was kind of a shit show. My mom excitedly said weeks ago that she'd watch LO all week, but then she decided to accept some shifts at her work without telling me, so it was a struggle trying to juggle him with work. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different from her, but it was still annoying!
I'm in a surprisingly decent mood for a Monday. FX it lasts

Ughhhhh. I'm so thankful that I don't like my coffee super hot. Em just reached up and grabbed my mug and poured the entire thing out on herself and all over the couch.

So in the next 11 days I have commitments every day after school, plus Henry's birthday party on Saturday, my family celebration gathering on Sunday, rehearsals for our spring music concert, Ben Folds concert that I'm going to, the actual spring music concert and I guess I need to eat and sleep and take care of the kids somewhere in there too. I'll do my best to check in but I may be in and out a lot!
BabyStandish have fun at yoga! I'm looking forward to going to yoga tonight. reginaphalange3 hope storytime works out! Good luck with unpacking. If we knew each other IRL I'd totally come unpack. I'm sick and love organizing things like that. Lol littlelion yay! So glad YH is on his way home. You are one strong mama. kcrus enjoy those toddler snuggles today! dashook sorry your time in NJ was kinda stressful. ourcrazynavylife good luck getting it all done! Sucks about the coffee- glad Em wasn't hurt. shannjohnston you busy lady! Good luck with all that.
Managed to make it to story time today with lo, so that was a nice little break from the usual routine. Over the weekend he figured out he could control blinking his eyes himself, and it is hilarious watching him "play" with blinking.
Cloth diaper mamas- what are you using for absorbency these days. We have pocket diaper and have got along ok with just microfiber inserts, but he's starting to out pee them and I'm getting annoyed at changing sheets/clothes as often as I am. Was contemplating getting some flour sack towels to try because they're cheap.

ashlantic we use grovia shells with either Staydry inserts or prefolds (I'm preferring the prefolds because she's started out wetting the inserts and it's super annoying) so I totally feel you. We also use BG Freetimes.
I think you're right on with the FSTs. It's what I was going to suggest. Just wrap them around your MF inserts. If that doesn't work you can try bamboo or hemp inserts. They're supposed to absorb more.

Thanks! Fx the flour sack towels work out... don't want to spend more money than I have to.

I have some charcoal bamboo one's that seem to work best for us. I feel like B leaks through the microfiber ones pretty easily.

That's a lot of things! Have fun at the concert and happy b day to Henry!

Sending caffeine and love to all.
That's so not cool of your mom. I can't imagine trying to work AND watch a toddler.
BabyStandish thanks! And that's so thoughtful of you making a meal for your friend. We had a couple people do that for us after lo was born and we appreciated it immensely! What're you making? dashook it's hilarious. Especially when you ask him to do it and he blinks and gets this huge smile on his face. He's all about faces right now anyways- he's obsessed with touching my eyebrows and likes me naming each part of his/my face. Lol

I really need to get on here more often and update!
DH left today for SC on business. His company got bought out so now we're looking for a house in a completely different area than before. I'm completely not familiar with the area, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. At least it's still here in CO, we're just moving south by almost 2 hours.
LO is more and more adorable every day. When she wakes up from her nap, I'm taking her for a walk to the store and the park. Thank goodness it's less than 10 blocks away and they're located next to each other. All she wants to do is swing and slide. Unfortunately, that means fitting my butt down those tiny things, and she likes the covered ones better. I can't wait until she can slide down on her own and I just wait at the bottom.
Been trying to make LO a busy board with stuffs from the hardware store. I can't find a board to put everything on. I found one in the garage, but it's questionable of whether I can use it or not. I think I'm just going to cut it up and use it. The guy I'm supposed to ask (the construction contractor re-doing the bathrooms) hasn't been here in 2 weeks. I'm thinking he's abandoned it. If it's that big a deal, here's a $20. I just want to get this done and over with! lol
BabyStandish, That sounds delicious! And how very sweet of you! Also, your sig cracks me up every time I see it! ashlantic, Our library puts story time on hold during May. (They go around to the schools to help encourage summer reading.) I can't wait until June! shannjohnston, I love Ben Folds! Have fun at the concert! ourcrazynavylife, Good luck with everything! So happy your LO wasn't injured! I like mine steaming so I have to be extra cautious! I learned she could reach stuffs off the counter when she grabbed a knife. Greeeeeaaaaaat. kcrus, Enjoy hanging out with your LO while you can. Cherish all the time. littlelion, Yay for returning husband! reginaphalange3, Boxes, I'll be there soon. Good luck with everything!
Hello my lovely emus!...I've been super MIA. ashlantic for some reason the app logged me out so I didn't see any notifications. Z and I are doing well! She's growing and learning so much! She's learned so many more signs and is using more words and trying her hardest to put everything together into sentences, which is adorable! She also has 12 teeth now! Molars are a bitch but the last one finally broke so I'm hoping the bad stuff is behind us? Over the past couple weeks she's been more and more interested in when I go potty and why, so I've started the potty training process. I say process because I'm not really pushing it and definitely not expecting her to get the hang of it right away but so far it's been going well! She went pee in the potty all day yesterday and once with my mom today. No poop in the potty yet but I'm pretty sure it's just bad timing on my part. Our trip to Alabama was a lot of fun. Both of my sisters-in-law were less dramatic then we thought they would be and z had a blast with her cousins! The drive was a little trying but the glitter bottles, Cheerios bracelets and Frozen were all a god send! Lol We ended up renting a Hundai Santa Fe which was amazing and makes me want an compact suv even more! We are going to Georgia to see my little sister graduate from college this month! I'm so beyond proud of her! It's a 6 hour drive so I'm hoping a new glitter bottle and Brave (she loves Merida) will help keep Z occupied. Work has been crazy. Lots of end of the year prep and I decided to work summer school so planning for that has taken up a lot of my time. They are letting us offer a math this year, which is great, but so much more work to prep for! I was worried about losing a lot of time with Z but today I found out that it's only 3 days a week for 5 weeks! Woohoo! I'm going to AW now! Easter Z and all of her cousins She thought her cousin Johns chair was the coolest thing ever lol She had to give the gator a kiss and hug. You can take the girl out of Florida but you can't take the Florida out of the girl! playground fun anything can be a tiara These were taken at the beach last weekend! She loves her new sunglasses! she loves to "help" me sweep she was so excited when she peed! matching toes
