What a Week

February 28, 2014 Molly 1 Comment

“It’s been a long week,” I thought. . . and then I realized it was Tuesday.

That about sums it up.

I found this new app “The Bible App for Kids”. I don’t usually download a lot of kids stuff and let my kids play with my phone often, but this is a cool app.

It has simple Bible stories broken down with a bit of text and a short game/animation.

It’s free, so I downloaded it out of curiosity, but my kids really like it. The animations are cute and for young kids who don’t play a lot of digital games, they’re perfect.

I told Gus that he could come and sit next to me while I worked and play with my phone. And this quickly happened.

These two. Sometimes, they act like friends/siblings and other times, she mothers him.

He asks about her as soon as we drop her off at school in the morning. “Vya school?”

And, here she is, just being cute.

Everyday Life

Late Night

Gus is an awful sleeper. He wakes up often and for long periods of time.

I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ve tried a weighted blanket, melatonin, cutting out food dyes, cutting out naptime… I’m down to two possibilities: food intolerance (to something major that is in everything– wheat, corn, dairy, eggs?) or pushing back bedtime.

Both of those are difficult for different reasons and I’ve been avoiding testing either one of them. So, if anyone has any wonderful ideas for getting a 3 year old to sleep at night, let me know.

Tonight, I took a video of a piece of our conversation. I think it’s cute, but I might be biased. However, Gus also says “I so funny”, so if the kid who stars in it thinks it’s funny, it must be, right?

I think he might finally be asleep again, so yay for that.

I am too lazy tonight to hook up my camera, import and edit the pictures, so instead, here’s a quick upload of a few from yesterday on my phone.

Two good buddies. She sat down next to him and he pulled her in.

Warmer Days

We just had two very warm days. They could have passed for springtime. Here’s how we felt about them…

Thawing Out

The weather has warmed up a bit here. All of that snow is melting, and I am happy.

Yesterday, I took the dogs out to the dog park. If you’ve ever been to a dog park most places… well, our dog park is not like that. 30 acres of fields and woods. No fences. This picture about sums it up.

I came home to find my children up in a tree. I love this. Outside, climbing, together.

Toddlers are fast. Gus especially.

This is not a wonderful picture, but he’s been doing this a lot lately. Driving his cars on the dogs. Our dogs are so good with him.

Again, toddlers are fast. I wanted to snap a picture of him giving a hug to Lena, but I could barely take it before he was gone. When I asked him to hug her again, he gave me this face.
