18 Months-Grayson

Dear Grayson,

Hello my sweet boy. I love you! Every day with you gets better and better. You are so amazing and I'm beyond proud of the little man that you are.

You have officially moved up to the Toddler 1 room. You are the youngest in your class and moved up ahead of some of the waddler room kids because you no longer take a bottle (and haven't since you were 11 months old!) I drop you off in the morning and you are so so good. You walk in holding my hand and then I take your coat off and your on your way to play with all the toys. Everyday when I pick you up your teacher always tells me that you had an awesome day! It makes me so happy that you do well there. Besides your teachers are in love with you and everyone there knows your name and loves you.

The other day I picked you up to take you to a Dr's appointment and when we came back Mr.Dan was in your room helping with lunch. You let out the sweetest Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii and blew him a kiss. And when he came over to take you from me you went right to him and hugged him. It was such a sweet moment and Momma heard when she picked you up that Mr.Dan was bragging that Grayson went to him and blew him a kiss.

Speaking of Dr's they think you have seasonal allergies. Your too young to test and too young to go on medicine so we have just been running your cool mist and rolling with it.

You are now a talking machine. Your words include Hot!,Yesh (yes) What? This, all done, Elmo, Libby, hot, dog, octopus, momma, dada, papa, gigi, halli, please, up, puffs, hi, love you, riley, good boy, and tubby. You attempt every word we ask you to say but sometimes it just comes out bdkfdjdao. You know a lot of animal sounds like elephant, lion, bee, cow, snake, dog, cat, and duck. We are working on frog and monkey.

You are very nosey because you walk around pointing to everything going dis? (this) and I tell you and will just point to the next thing. It's awesome watching your mind grow. You now lay down on your own when it's time to get your diaper changed and you throw out your diaper and when we ask if you pooped you point to your diaper. I'm thinking potty training is on the horizon. Your sleep is the same your down between 7:30 and 7:45 and your up anywhere between 4 and 5:30 if it's really early you will sleep with Momma for a little bit.

The whole eating thing is still a mystery. You eat like a champ 3 days a week at daycare and then refuse most of the food at home. You still eat healthy things at home just no meat. But your still growing so I'm not letting it worry me too much.

You still looooooooove reading and climbing and touching everything that is not yours. You like to help and so I let you as much as I can. You are obsessed with Owls and so we have a few around. You like to kiss them which is just adorable. When you get excited about something you gasp in the cutest way and get the best surprised face ever.

Bottom line baby we love you we are proud of you and I cannot wait to keep going through this life with you!
I will love you forever
Love
Your Momma

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
