J went to school today after being home yesterday with a cough. I picked him up. We went to Walmart (oh the joy!). Came home and he drove me batty all afternoon. We had dinner. J was sick. All over the family room carpet.
I guess we won’t be going out again tomorrow. I do have some craftiness to get finished so maybe J can help me with that.
….I had a little baby. Today, almost six months later, she is sitting happily all by herself playing. Somebody please tell me where the time has gone!
Only last week she was not sitting by herself, and here she is playing with her toys, usually rocking herself trying to advance on the floor. Sad but true she is also almost crawling. Left to her own devices she can scoot across the floor to get closer to her brother and his blanket or a favorite toy. It won’t be long and I will be running after her I am sure.
It also warms my heart to see how much J loves his little Sister. On the rare occasion he wishes she wasn’t there, but for the most part he just wants to play with her. Yesterday was Parent Day at gymnastics. Apple hung out with her Grandmother while J and I went to class. We weren’t in the car five minutes when J declared, “I miss Apple”. I was thrilled to hear it but, reminded him to remember that the next time she is screaming at him, a trick he taught her in the car on Sunday. One we are desperately trying to undo.
Beanish tagged me for a Fridge Meme. I did this one back in June 2006, so it is interesting to see (for me) what is different.
Gone are the white boxes of nothing from the top of the fridge. One held J’s ‘recipes’ for Lego and the other Hubby’s French stuff. The boxes were replaced by a blue bowl and a beachy tray that my Mom picked up for me. The top remained so clean for a long time, until Christmas. That was when Hubby stashed some papers and Lego and there they have stayed.
The front now holds Leap Frog Letters and J’s sparkle designs as well as a photo of baby J at 3 days old. The top still has SAJ’s Paris Postcard that EVERYONE asks me about. I leave it for daily inspiration. There is also a magnet for Grotto’s Pizza just in case they start delivering from Delaware to Ottawa. One of the frames holds a photo from when A was about 4 or 5 (which makes it about 11 years old). It also shows Hubby and I as two younger skinnier people. We leave it for inspiration as well. There are school photos of my nieces and nephews. And one of J and J2 with my sister that is now two years old, time for an update I think.
I won’t even begin to say what is stuck to the side of the fridge. No matter what there always seems to be paper lying about and it ends up stuck to the side of the fridge.
And now you know what is on my fridge. What is on your fridge?
