Updateish

Okay so I feel like I'm lacking on the Grayson updates so here are just a few things that have been going on and then I will do a full Grayson letter at 20 months (which is closer than I care to admit)

-He has a sense of humor. I mean this kid cracks me up. He likes to be scared and then laughs until he can't breath. He is always silly dancing and smiling because he knows it's funny


-He is still stubborn as hell with food. I try most days to let it roll off my back but sometimes? It still gets to me. His list is growing a little bit like we added jelly to the peanut butter sandwich. One day it worked the next day not so much and so my child continues to be an enigma.



-He is talking up a storm. And his sweet little voice.....I die all the time. When I go into get him in the morning and am met with a MOMMMMMMMA!!!!! Melt my heart. He then proceeds to ask for "Liiiiiiiley"(riley our black lab) "Dada", "whowhowho"(his stuffed owl), "Ickeyyyyyyy Anket" (Mikey Blanket) "Puuuuumigin on pseees MAMA!" (which means pumpkin light on please momma) I'm just eating this stage up.

-If someone leaves the room he always looks at you and says "Go?" all while putting his hand up making the gesture. He is obsessed with Riley and if he leaves the room while G is eating is is a def kong 5 melt down


- He always calls an pumpkin an apple first then when you correct him he giggles says "puuumigin apple" It's cute and I love it and in his defense same shape and both have a stem


- He is getting glowing reports from daycare that he is such a good boy and this Momma is proud. Words that have been used to describe my sweet boy; Caring, Kind, Good Sharer, Patient, Sweet, Awesome listenting skills, Quiet. They do ask all the time if he talks at home. Which he does in 3-5 word sentances but at daycare still fairly silent. Until this week and now he talks like crazy for them! I'm so happy and they said he is very smart and will attempt any word they ask of him.

-We are mostly sussy (paci) free in our house. He gets it at bedtime and naptime and that is it. They follow this rule in the toddler room at shcool so it helps a ton. Now don't get me wrong there are some days that I have had to wake him up and he is just a mess and so I let him have it in the car but 90% of the time it's just at sleeping times.

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...
