Kangaroos

Today Cal had his first day in the Kangaroos, the next class up from Piglets. The Kangaroos is for more active and mobile babies. Cal Is the youngest in the room but I think some younger kids will join in the next month.

When I dropped him off he seemed content. He is somewhat familiar with the room, having visited before. But it is much bigger and has more toys than the Piglet room. But he found a couple of balls and he was happy.

When Nick picked him up the report was positive. He ate well, took a great nap and spent the majority of the day exploring and pulling up on everything.













In other news it rained and Ellie got a haircut. And we started piano lessons last week, that's another post.

Lemonade

We got a call yesterday the Cal had a fever and had to be picked up from daycare. So we did. And since you have to be fever free for 24 hours before going back...guess who has a home day today! (Note, he is fine. Slept well, no fever overnight. His immune system kicked in and beat whatever was bugging, ha!, him)

Today was his last day as a Piglet.

So we made lemonade. Cal and I got to walk Ellie to school today and watch her play before the bell rang. It was nice.










And I'm going to get on a soapbox here. So many of Es classmates were late today. And I'm sure this is normal. Seriously? School starts at the same time everyday.

Clothing

This picture makes me so happy. She's tying her own shoes. Which are super cool pink converse.



There are some outfits my kids end up in that I think, "Susie would definitely have a comment about this one". Cals outfit today was one of those. Neon orange onesie with blue whales. Blue and white stripped shorts.

Are you Squidding me?

So Cal has this onesie that I find hilarious. It has a picture of a squid on it and it says, "you've got to be Squidding me". Nick and Ellie don't think it's as funny. Cal doesn't care.

I wanted to get a picture of it, but he got a bib on faster than I could be ready for a picture. Boo. But I think the eyes say it all.

A new normal

Back to school! So happy.

I woke Ellie up at 6:45 and she had a nice breakfast. We got to school without debates about food, hair, shoes, or clothes (although I did say she needed a warmer hoodie). She was excited, but a little nervous about heading back after being away for so long.




And we have a new normal with Cal. He has not woken up overnight to feed in the past few nights. He will wake up and fuss for about 1-2 minutes but then falls asleep, which tells me he isn't hungry, just training himself to get back to sleep. He does usually wake up around 5am. Of course this is too early, I don't go to him, and he fusses for about 5-10 min and then falls asleep again, today he slept till 6:50 (thank you Ellie) so our morning was a little tipsy turvy. But at least he is sleeping much better than he has in months.

Almost Normal

Happy 2015!

Well we don't have the flu, it isn't a holiday, things are almost normal. Ellie didn't have school today so she spent it at Kids Klub in their school age program.








This is Cal's last week as Piglet. Next Monday he moves up to the Kangaroos. Apparently crawling and pulling up on everything and everything will get you sent up to hang out with the walkers! Today was his first time napping on a mat (about 1" think mattress) instead of the crib. Not the best naps but he is also getting back used to his routine.
