Today I have DD2's 9 month apt and I'm really hoping the shots don't make sleep worse like last time. She's already fighting me enough.
I have an insanely busy weekend. Tomorrow I have a bridal shower and after that a family party for my grandmas birthday. Sunday I have another bridal shower but I'm in the wedding so it's pretty much going to take up my whole afternoon.
We have a babysitter tomorrow for the first time that's not family and I'm having all kinds of feels about it.

Not much going on today. Yesterday I took ds to a health fair they were doing in town & I'm still hot just thinking about how gross it was. This humidity has been nuts. When DH gets home, we're gonna pick up the car rental & then tomorrow morning we leave for where our parents live. I still don't know why we agreed but we're surprising my mom for her 60th (we're not very close with anyone.) We haven't been out there in 3 years I believe so we're just gonna be in their town Saturday & leaving to head home that evening. Then we're stopping in Pittsburgh for the night to do some fun stuff Sunday to justify the trip.
Happy Friday! We are laying low again today, too hot and humid for much of anything. We are also on day 3 of retraining my previously potty trained but regressed 3 year old. Shes doing pretty well. A few accidents day one, but none yesterday, yay! I'm still doing pullups when she sleeps, though. We're still very much in the lots of reminding, trying, and incentives stage. It's exhausting and I'll be glad when we are back to her telling me when she has to go.
DH has a work thing tonight, so im on my own with the kids for dinner. Tomorrow we are going to a friend's and Sunday we're gonna try to tackle the lawn and maybe a couple other projects. We shall see.
We just walked to a small park and I may actually be dead. It is so hot I may have melted right on the sidewalk.
DD has a therapy appt that used to be at 11am on Fridays but is now at 1pm so it doesn't conflict with school when she starts next week. I'm a little bummed because it's over naps so it takes away some of my me time which is super selfish.
Tomorrow we are headed to Indy for the museum and a meet up with one of my J15 moms. Excited and terrified for a 2 hour car trip each direction!

We ventured out to a playground this morning too. I never go out in this heat, but DD was asking so we went and stayed for an hour. I have a midwife appt in a little over and hour and tomorrow we try AGAIN to get a 3D U/S of DD2. I really hope she cooperates this time.

Well, we had music class this morning, and then watched Paw Patrol. Apparently this didn't tire anyone out, so no one would nap. DS played in his crib and DD played in bed too, and then she said she "napped" and got up and DS started whining to get up. Put DD to work sorting coins and did some cleaning, but DS still wasn't asleep. So he got up and we played outside in the rain since it was finally cool, and that was fun, and then everyone was dirty and had baths. Watched My Little Pony and DS passed out on the couch. Must make dinner.

My 2.5 year old is refusing naps lately :/ she's skipped more than she has actually taken one lately. I really need her to start taking them again because she's already pushed her bedtime back so I get zero breaks.

I'm sorry younglove316, hopefully it's just a phase. My DD2 did that around the same time and now she still takes one most days at 3 years, 3 months.

I'm hoping she's not done completely. I still have her lay down and will put a show on for her but it doesn't last as long. Some days though she crashes while watching so I'll keep it up.
I love staying home with my little man. But I feel like my brain is turning to mush without the stimulation of work or school. What do you ladies do to stay sharp?

I am going to try to get back into reading. I also try to plan at least 1-2 outings a week with other moms and their kiddos.
