Week Recap

Ella got her first black eye this week from falling face-first onto a chair leg. The hazards of being an almost walker!

Rand learned how to write the letter "H" and figured out how to read a few more words (zoo, up, egg).

Ella got hold of a bottle of dish soap which necessitated my first call to Poison Control. They said she would be fine and might have a bit of an upset tummy. She threw up a little bit and had bubbles coming out of her mouth for a few minutes, but after the nasty taste was out of her mouth she was back to normal.

We are having serious sleep dilemmas with Rand. It's becoming very obvious by his behavior when he's tired. If he takes a nap, he's not tired enough to fall asleep until around 3pm, and if we don't wake him, he sleeps until 5pm. Which means he's up until 11pm. Not cool. If we do wake him, then he turns into Oscar The Grouch until bedtime. If he doesn't take a nap, he falls asleep at 7pm and is up at 5am. Arrrgh!

Summer has officially arrived. It is getting harder and harder to find cool (in both senses) things to do with a 3-year-old. He was much easier to entertain when he was a baby. What makes it harder is that it is too hot to even go swimming unless it's early or late.

We love the new Dunkin Donuts by our house. It makes a lovely little afternoon break to grab an iced coffee for me and a donut with rainbow sprinkles for Rand. For now, Ella is satisfied with a straw to play with.
