DS celebrated being home by sleeping extra well last night. His first stretch of sleep was over 7 hours! We should stick close to home today and unpack and get the house in order. DS's one year photos are tomorrow, if they don't get rained out. Last time they were cancelled cause our photog's son got sick.
She's also bringing the 18mo hand me downs, which is good cause the 12mo t shirts are getting a bit short.
I'm here but at work. Cleaning and packing for this weekend tonight. Our friends' wedding is Sat but bc DH is a groomsman and it's OOT we have to be there early on Friday (meaning I need to be done with these wretched chores by tomorrow). My parents and sister are watching the girls at my house so I have to make sure beds/rooms/bathrooms are ready for them. I also have to fit in work, swim class, oh and my two (time consuming) daughters lol. It'll get done...one way or another.
Watching my four year old brother today. I was looking forward to some kid free time during nap today but what can you do.
So our drier has a crack in it. We called Samsung and they said they could either sell us the part we need for around $300 or they could sell us an extended warranty that would cover the repairs completely for around $200. Awesome. So we bought the warranty and had a repairman out 3 weeks ago. Today we find out that the warranty company refunded our warranty because apparently it's in their terms and agreement that if the first repair exceeds the value of the drier, they have the right to cancel your warranty. I feel like that's ridiculous. They said the repairs would be $605 and they value our five year old drier at $640. That's a $35 difference. Unreal. Also, why did it take 3 weeks to tell us this?!
lilyelayne woo hoo for a good night's rest after a nice vacation.
@alyllyra sending strong coffee over the Internet.
danitaec my sister is counting down the days left of school too (she's an early childhood and special ed teacher). Hang in there; you get a nice summer break to look forward to!
tortor4 I hate that kind of thing. We have had to dealt with a home warranty before which seems like a good thing at first but it always seems to end up being more expensive than just starting out on your own. Hope it gets figured out!
I woke up to crazy coughing fits several times last night, I hate that! But on the plus side V slept in today for an hour and a half longer than he has been, so that nice. I'm just patiently waiting for his sleep to go back to normal now that his molars have all cut and he is feeling better.
It's like 65 degrees and sunny here so we spent some time outside blowing bubbles. Its times like these I wish she was walking so we could go to the park.
My mom had had her gallbladder out and had some complications but she is going home today so that's good news. She isn't really up for visitors yet though and then I work all weekend so we won't be able to go see her until next week.
mmarie love tit for the bubbles. Why can't you bring LO to the park? Sorry your mom had complications. Hoping the rest of her recovery is smooth.
The closest decent park is 30 minutes away. I would totally take her if she could play on stuff. DNW to drive 30 minutes to swing. Any day now though I think she will be walking on her own. She is just very cautious and won't take steps if she isn't holding onto anything. Plus she has really thick feet and ankles and won't uncurl her toes to try to put shoes on lol. It's ok. We played in our yard with the dogs.

The yard is a great option. DS isn't walking except when he's distracted & doesn't realize he isn't holding on, but he loves the playground equipment at the park. Mostly it's climbing up stairs & then I push him down the slide. I'm looking forward to walking since I think then he'll be able to get off the end of the slide himself & come back around to the stairs.

I guess it could help build up her confidence. Today is the first day it would have even been an option so I never really had to think about it before. I would just hate to get there and swing for 5 minutes and she gets sick of it and crabby and we drove all that way.

Bubbles are such a good idea! I need to get some for DD.
We live across the street from a park but most of the stuff even in the little kid section is still too advanced for her. I have to pick her up and put her at the top of the slide but she will scoot herself forward when she's ready to go down. We walk over a few times a week but its literally about 5 minutes of entertainment before she's done - and if its crowded with older kids its not even worth it.

DS loves bubbles too! He has started saying the word recently. He giggles like mad if he gets to pop one. I hope he also picks up the sign for bubbles cause it's a cute one.
We have a family pass to the parish park, so DS and I try to go at least once a week. We'll play on the playground, swing, and then I'll put him on my back or in the stroller and we'll walk around the pond. It's only a 10 minute drive from home, and I love it there, so we mostly go for me I think haha.
Gazillion bubble solution is the best and the giant jug is on amazon for a decent price. It lasts us the summer (also from the Easter bunny, every year).
Also, DD2 is just starting to walk but all she'd want to do at the park is try to eat the woodchips. She only gets to swing a little before we leave. I try to have her just stay in the stroller and watch her big sis until she gets fussy.
lilyelayne DD2 signed more, please, and thank you all on her own today at dinner. My little girl is growing up. We did a lot if signing with DD1 because she had a speech delay and it helped her immensely so she is now teaching DD2. It's precious. I know a bit of American sign language bc my cousin's son is deaf and although he has hearing aids and a cochlear implant now, we all have learned some basics from when he was younger. It's beautiful to watch people who know/use it fluently.
