And Then Some Continued
And Then Some Continued
We got both kids a tablet for Christmas, even though we think Tylers too little for one, because we really thought that would save our sanity. We assumed that if Lily had one, Tyler would want one too and all the fighting would drive us crazy. Well turns out he doesnt really care all that much. He looks over Lilys shoulder every now again at what shes doing or watches for a minute if shes watching a video. But for the most part, he couldnt care less. So for now, Tylers tablet remains in the box to be opened another day. Maybe we can recycle it and give it to him for his birthday 9 months from now? He might forget he already opened it.
I got a wild hair while weve been off work to start exercising. Well its not really that wild. Im actually signed up for Farrels Extreme Bodyshaping (more on that later) which starts in another week or so and I thought it might be a good idea to do some exercising ahead of going there - maybe I will ward off a tiny bit of the soreness from the "extreme" workouts.
Anyhow, the kiddos like to get in on the exercising action. Which is a great unintentional consequence of me exercising at home. They see me exercising so it becomes something built into their little baby brains that this is what is normal and maybe they will be better exercisers as they grow up. Plus it burns off some energy so thats always a good thing. AND its really cute when Tyler works out in his underwears.
However, we dont really have a lot of space in our house so just finding a spot to exercise by myself isnt that easy. Then you add Joel to the mix and it gets really hard. THEN when the kiddos want to get in on it, were really pressed for space.
I dont know what you call these exercises, but the kiddos were really in to it.
Weve been having these little picnics in the living room about once a week. Its funny how much just a slight little change to routine perks the kids up. Now we have another dinner guest at the table.
Had a few snuggles on the couch with my babes.
Weve been to the inside playground several times on this vacation. Its so much fun to go there now that I dont have to be up the kids butts the whole time. One of the trips Lily and Tyler were playing together and it was so fun to watch. Lily would run and scream (and I mean SCREAM), "TYLER, YOU CANT GET ME!" And then shed giggle hysterically and take off running. Tyler would do his best to keep up with her, but shed lose him. Then hed come over to me and ask, "Where Sissy at, Mommy?" So Id show him where Lily was and hed take off and sneak up on her and theyd both squeal with laughter. This went on for a good 20 minutes and I just grinned ear to ear the whole time.
We always want what we cant have. For Lily this week, that was curly hair. We tried to give her some curly, kinky hair and now weve had crazy krimped hair for two days. I have to say, its actually pretty cute though the pictures arent really doing it justice.
