The house is moving right along. Today some trusses arrived, they were tamping down the dirt, backfilling, and nailing the sills for the framing.
1. I am going to try to "coax" Fynn to take a bottle. He hasn't had one yet. He really likes the boob.
2. I have not had a good night's sleep in over 6 months. (Is that related to #1)? He only gets up 2x a night, but after 6 months, it is quite tiring each morning.
3. I got my hair cut yesterday. I go in for maintenance trims every 4 weeks or so. It is a must with a pixie cut.
4. I got some new shoes last weekend. I quite like them.
5. Fynn is "saucering" (see photo). He has officially moved from the baby play mat to the saucer. Big step - and one less piece of equipment we need to have around.
6. We are adding ground flax to our yogurt now. Must keep refrigerated to prevent it from going rancid.
7. So far, I have a playdate (with Jacob, our neighbour), hopefully a haircut and a video rental lined up for Sophie tomorrow. On her daycare days off, she (I) need lots for her to do. Or we all go a bit wacky.
8. This book came in for me at the library. I am really getting a handle on the system at the library. Do not look on the shelves for books you want. Order them in. I'm savings lots of money this way -- sorry Chapters.
9. We are meeting with our builder's wife tomorrow to go over our very hrrmph large invoice for our cement pour. It's okay -- needed to be done. The house took a lot of cement and we had concrete blocks placed for a back retaining wall to enlarge the yard.
10. I really think this is a neat idea -- podcasts for kid's book that a mom and dad do in a cafe. The book choices are great and the title of the site is exactly what Sophie says to me each night.
Good luck on the bottle for Fynn. It's great to be able to get away just a little bit longer if needed.
ReplyDeleteFlax seed! Good for you all. Does it make your yogurt taste any different? Are you grinding it yourself? Do you think I could convince Scott to try it? Let me know how it goes with your household.
I too love the ORL order system. The only way to go. I also get parenting magazines & periodicals when the mood strikes me. It's also very ecologically conscious. Good for you, Sheri!
Erin is taking the bottle a bit for us now which is such a break for me. She also likes nursing a lot! :0)
ReplyDeleteI don't buy books very often anymore unless it's one I really want to add to my collection. I love our libraries!
Thanks so much for the kind words about our children's book podcast.
