Wisdom from my walk

My men.

My son is such a ham! I think I heard him say Cheese!

Tonight we are going to pick up the Baby Animals Baby Boosters Book Kit from the library. It’s a neat concept. You get a bunch of books at one time, and they are all themed. Too bad you have to return them! Today we went to the library for Books for Babies. Mostly fingerplays and songs, since it for ages 0-23 months. Caleb enjoyed the other kids. We really need a play group. Hopefully next week at the MOMs meeting we can work on that. But it seems like a waste if I am going back to work, I dont know. I am so torn. I so enjoy helping and seeing Caleb develop. Sent out a few resumes today, if I am lucky no one will call me! That’s horrible, I mean I know we need money, especially since we are thinking about getting a new car soon, but……I hate being a grown up sometimes!

Tonight while at Walmart we found this inflatable ball filled car. It was on sale for $9.00 so I just had to get it. We let Caleb wear himself taking the balls out before bedtime. Here’s some pics of him enjoying his first car.

This is soooo much fun, Daddy!

Will you just look at all these balls!

It looks like I’ve been busy today, I mean I’ve gotten a lot done here today. But I forgot to tell you about yesterday. Caleb had his 9 month check up. He is 29 in. tall and 19 1/2 lbs heavy or light rather. I was hoping he’d gained a few more pounds since his flu but he hadn’t. He is very advanced for his age, but I always talk about that. The dr said he is doing good. I was angered to hear that they are still out of prevnar, the immunization he’s been waiting to get since they said they were out the first tiime he went there months ago! She said to call in a few weeks to see if they have any since he needs it before his one years shots. I dont know if I should be mad or not, but seems like it is putting him at risk. They wouldnt require it if it wasnt necessary right?

Well after his appt we went to lunch with my mom for her birthday, which is actually today. After that we went to Walmart, and suprisingly Caleb napped the whole time I shopped, that was a first. Then we headed further across town to pick up the roofing inspection for the house. We recieved the final papers that we need to take to the mortgage lady today. So should be soon that we close! Wohoo!!

We spent about 4 1/2 hours out yesterday, but I was still able to do 3 loads of laundry, mop, dust, vaccuum and dust the whole house all before Dean got home! I even fed Caleb his dinner before going to pick Dean up from the train station. By the time we were done dinner I was so tired. Luckily Caleb was too, and he crashed right about 8:00 exactly and slept til around 10 and then only was breifly awake. Then he slept til 5 a.m., another first. But all in all, we had a busy day yesterday. But since Caleb crashed early and without a fight, I was able to finish reading the book I was working on while Dean did his own thing. It was quite a relaxing way to end the night. No plans for tonight really. Theres the Flower Mart downtown that I wanted to get to today, but I forgot to take Dean so I didnt have the car to go. The reason I really wanted to go, other than it would get us out of the house, is because growing up we always went. The lady who babysat us always took us. Her daughter, Miranda danced in the May Pole, or so I remember. We would always get these lemons cut in half w/ a big fat peppermint stick in it. You could suck the lemon juice up through a hole in the peppermint stick. Another fond childhood memory, one of few….Anyway, I mentioned it to Dean a bit ago and he said we could go when he gets home. Other than that, not much should be going on, but another relaxing night at home. And more work on my website too I hope!

Happy Birthday Mom!
