5 on Friday-Ch Ch Changes

5 on Friday today and it's all about he big changes for my Grayson

1- Grayson had his second appointment at the Chiropractor* this week. He does amazing. He only cried for the first .235 seconds and then he was cool. In just two appointments we have cut his dose of baby zantac in half and starting tomorrow we will be cutting out the morning dose. The reason we decided to try the Chiropractor was because he tried cutting the dose our selves and he went right back to spitting up. I'm so happy with the results and soon he will just be going for maintenance.

* Please hold any negative comments about me taking my child to the Chiropractor. It's my kid I know best and our doctor is amazing.

2- He got is first haircut. There may have been tears on my part not his but it looks super cute. I'm so proud of my big boy. We didn't go too short but he needed a trim for his big photo shoot coming up on Tuesday.

3-He is officially on the "waddler room" schedule so he is all set to transition to the room next week!!!He is down to taking a small nap in the morning (half an hour) and taking one long nap in the afternoon! This is a work in progress because sometimes he won't sleep as long at home as he does at daycare and nap time is sane time for momma.

4-We are down to one bottle a day! He is taking is milk/formula out of a sippy and only having a bottle at night. He would totally give up the nighttime one too but I just don't want to. I know I have to but I love holding him and feeding him his bottle.

5-He had his birthday this past weekend!!! Don't worry I will re-cap it next week but he did so good. At one point someone who worked there asked me who the party was for and I showed her Grayson she was like "Oh! I didn't even know you had a baby here he is so good!" I'm such a proud momma and I cannot believe that he is going to be one in less than a week.

Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy the weekend!!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
