Rockin Saturday Night

By
Oh how things change - case in point, our Saturday nights.

Two years ago, we'd likely be out with friends starting with dinner reservations between 9 and 10. Followed by drinks, out until 2 (or occasionally later) in the evening.

Last night wasn't exactly that model. Here's how the night unfolded:
  • 6:00 - small feed for Jack and then bathtime.
  • 6:15 - Justin starts cooking dinner (wow, eating at home rather than ordering!)
  • 6:45 - rocking Jack to go to sleep
  • 7:30 - Jack down
  • 7:40 - Justin and I sit down for dinner - I think this is great, I could be asleep by 9 pm!
  • 7:55 - Jack starts to whimper. Justin goes to calm him, I start to clean up.
  • 8:00 - Justin realizes that Jack is hungry as his cries increase. We hand off tasks.
  • 8:02 - Jack's crying. Mel (our orange tabby cat) pukes on the rug next to the dining table.
  • 8:50 - finish dinner and cleaning once the chaos clears!
Sweet. Not exactly your rockin NYC Saturday night!

Don't worry, I'm not posting pictures.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
