The End

Not sure why the grumpy ending, but she's right. The pictures don't SHOW a happy ending. So from a 4-year-old perspective, what a bummer! Be sure if you watch this, that you have watched the earlier post first or this won't make sense:)

Second Story - Care Bears

Mom Does Hockey?

Riley requestem Mom skate with her during the practice part of her class this week. Eek! My back and my knees were killing me after the 30 minute session. Guess I'm old! But I was honored to be asked to skate with her.

We did hit one kinda major bump this week. Riley refuses to go to her class without the "race car" help. I am torn on this issue because I know she doesn't need it, but she is also in a Level 1 class again because the new "hockey" program required all kids to start at Level 1 even if they had done the Snow Plow Sam program. Riley should be in Level 2 based on that. But becuase it's a Level 1 she will have time in the higher levels to do without? I was hoping since this was a Level 1 program she would get to keep the walker, but her teacher knows she doesn't really need it and had been taking it away. We were literally ready to leave before class started this week because she was freaking out.

Dilema: I know she can do it without, but she needs the confidence and I paid for these classes and I hate that she would just go home rather than do the class without the "race car." UGH! So I was "that parent" and I asked Miss Megan if she could please allow Riley to use her "car" during class and we would work with her in practice time and in open skate on the weekends to get her over the need for help. I don't know if we will sign her up for anymore skating after this. On to dance? YUCK! I mean...sure...maybe Irish dance?

End of Story #1

In the interest of not boring you too much, I skipped over the last part of the story. But the end was kinda funny...at least to me anyway;)

Notice the belly button playing...

Rowan Update

Rowan still has no teeth, but he is pretty much eating all solid foods. He doesn't want much to do with the mushy kind anymore. He is also a VERY good mimic. I wouldn't say he is talking yet, but he says things that sound a lot like Mama, Daddy, Ah-Da (all done), bottle, and Macy (did I mention we are watching Meg's dog?). He still doesn't sleep through the night. He stands up and walks along furniture. Josh said he stood without the furniture for a second the other night, but no steps yet.

Cookie Exchange

Ok, so maybe it wasn't my best choice, but I was watching Adrienne and Brynn the other day...and Macy was here too...so that's the perfect time to bake cookies, right? Yikes! I have a cookie exchange today with some friends from high school and I needed to get my baking done. So I used some little baking elves...I promise they washed their hands and didn't eat any of the batter. They were very good helpers...if not a little messy;) And yes, this did require me standing on a chair.
