Today was a super
busy day at work. Like usual, on my last day of the week, I had a ton to catch
up on before the weekend. But, I’m pretty busy in general right now anyway. Christian has
still been working a ton of overtime, with no real end in sight. The girls are
doing great in school. They have been doing a “letter of the week” in Olivia’s
class since the new “year” started, and Olivia loves it. She loves telling me
about their new letters and what they’re learning. She seems to be playing with
the other kids a lot more now that Bella hasn’t been going to school. I know
she misses her a ton, but I do think it’s helping with her adjustment. Amelia
is loving Miss Eva’s class and being with the older toddlers. She still loves
her little buddy Niko – he’s definitely her little BFF at school. It’s cute.
I was fairly
successful at doing some planning today. I made the girls’ dentist appointments
(not until January, but they seem to book up fast) and Olivia’s 4 year check-up
(also not until January, but I wanted them on the same day, and her doctor
REALLY books up fast), I made their flu shot appointments and made my own
dentist appointment. We also found out today we’re going to the Vikings game
next week, so I talked to my mom about watching the girls. YAHOO, I was on
fire!
After work, I
picked up the girls, ran home to pack Olivia an overnight bag, and brought her
over to my mom’s for the night. She was really excited, and Amelia was REALLY
upset as we drove away and she didn’t get to stay. I welcomed the night of
quiet with only one little toddler to take care of, and Amelia quickly got over
her anger when she realized she had my undivided attention all night! We had a
great night together too. We talked a lot about potty training and I did my
best to get her excited. We ate some dinner, played together (no fighting, no
yelling, no toy stealing, no tattling, no chaos). It was great!
Now, time to gear
up for tomorrow. But, for tonight, I just enjoyed this girl…
