Uh oh, Mama's getting sick

The Activities

Things aren't looking good. There's a definite scratch in my chest / throat and I'm feeling tired. I really hope that I don't get really sick. I'm hoping a good night's sleep tonight will help turn me around.

Our day has been pretty busy. The kids were up early again - 6:30am! Schmoo was at preschool in the morning, while Bean and I were at gymnastics. We went to the park after gymnastics with his friend F for 1/2 hour and then back to F's house for a quick play. We had a successful potty day - Bean wore underpants all day except for his nap. And of course, both of his poo's were when he was sleeping. Oh well, this is a great start.

Schmoo had a monster meltdown at lunchtime today. More rude talk and discipline. I know she'll get it eventually. They both had good quiet time today. I've tried putting Papa's alarm clock in her room and telling her that quiet time is over when the beep goes. It certainly keeps her from coming out so often. Bean had a nice long nap. I think an earlier nap time is helping him have better naps.

We've recently been talking about a new rule, which is no stuffies at the table when we're eating. Bean was getting distracted with bringing his seal to the table to eat. Schmoo decided that to get around this rule, that the stuffies would all have their own chair for dinner. She set places for each of them and got plates and cups for all the stuffies. See the picture for the end result. Needless to say, there was still more distraction, so the new rule has been revised that the stuffies are not invited to the table at all.

Early bedtime for the kids and hopefully early bedtime for Mama too. Papa has a soccer game to watch on TV so will likely be up later.

Schmoo's Favourite and Not Favourite Parts of the Day

Favourite - strawberries and whip cream for dessert

Not Favourite - when Bean got mad at her because she said he had funny hair after their bath

Thoughts on the Day

I really hope I'm not getting sick.
