Every night, I sit down to write a blog post and every night something comes up, be it a teething 18-month-old, a three-year-old with disciplinary issues, a house full of laundry, a dog that has peed on the floor or, frankly, just a new episode of Playing House that I’d rather watch. Anyway, long story short, life gets in the way. So here’s what we’ve missed.
We got a new pet.
Meet Rupert, our new turtle.
Truth be told, Holden kept calling him, “Poo Poo,” so I figured “Rupert” was an acceptable alternative.
We had an adventurous summer and learned about Holden’s natural affinity for climbing.
I’m seriously considering finding some Parkour courses for this future American Ninja Warrior.
GB is teething and has some crazy big molars coming in.
Poor little guy has had some fevers and lots of snot and saliva… but that hasn’t kept him from getting into any and everything in the house.
I had to work a lot.
The beginning of September was really busy for me at work, so that of course came with a side of some working mom guilt. But my job is important to me and I feel like the work I do is important so I power through. And I try to include the kids when I can.
Holden started at a new preschool.
We’re all very excited that Holden has started a new five-day-a-week program. My fingers are crossed that the structure and curriculum will do big things for her because honestly, her sass and behavior issues have increased over the summer as well.
One thing is for certain, her art skills are blossoming. That kid comes home with like 18 pieces of art every day after school now.
Oh and obviously her amazing fashion sense continues to be on fleek.
So, all in all, an eventful and fun few months. We’re all doing pretty great.
Just busy. Oh, bother.
