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

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...
