We just got home from a Groundhog Day Festival. We had a blast and it was very well done. I say that as a former educator who constantly has snarky thoughts at various kid events, story times, etc. I’ll be checking out more events at this place. There was a nature hike, tons of craft stations, hands on exhibits, live animals, music, snacks, etc.
Now the dog is bugging me for a walk. Off to get my exercise!

It’s been a good day three times she used the potty today and once for poop.
The weather has been so awful. I signed up for s gym membership last week I’ve been three times so far and I love it.

I’m over here planning M’s 3rd birthday now that we’ve made it through January haha. We officially booked a trip to Disney World! We’ll arrive 2 days before her birthday so she’s free for the entire trip. I’m so pumped to celebrate her birthday there. Countdown is officially on - 49 weeks to go! Happy baby month thelittleredm!

For preschool ds has to decorate and bring in a shoe box for the Valentine’s Day party.
For actual Valentine’s would you: 1. Buy them 2. Make them
It’s the 3 year old class. Instructions say only write your child’s name on the cards. There’s only 10 kids and 2 teachers. It’s going to rain this weekend so a kid project would be a good thing. Originally I was going to have ds pick them out and buy them but mh was all “what? No! He’d love a craft project!” So now I’m torn.

.... I still think I want to buy them. Team buy. DS looooooves looking at every single box at Target and picking out his favorite. This year he went with Jurassic Park (really just dinosaurs in his view since obvs my 3.5 yo has not seen the movie). The box can be the craft project! Here’s our final result: I still get to pick M’s for this year but I’m sure next year she’ll insist on picking hers too.

Lakes I bought some for E’s class in target. No way am I making them. E is sick a cold and cough. She stayed home today from school and will also tomorrow. Sigh now H and I are sick too.

Woke up and I’m 99% sure I hate my hair. Might be haircut time this weekend. But as usual, that 1% is giving me pause.

We’re staying at Art of Animation (Lion King suite) and will be there for a week (Saturday through Saturday). What about you? I’m insanely excited! I think 3 will be such a fun age for our girls to experience it!

R is obsessed with Mickey and Minnie so I can’t wait to see her reaction to this all.

Thrilling update: ds chose Star Wars valentines that come with little glow stick lightsabers. My life is complete.
Although I feel the “crush the resistance, my valentine!” Kylo Ren card is a tad too dark.

Lakes, DS1 almost picked those out but we needed more (he is in a multi-grade classroom and needed them for all those grades) so he went with Incredibles 2. I applaud you for even considering to make his valentines. That would be a hard no from me. Lol. W has been a little more emotional than normal the last couple days and has had an awful runny nose so H brought it up at his 2yr wellness check. Kid has a double ear infection. Apparently, his ear canals are smaller than normal causing the fluid to build up faster and cuts down on how quickly and effectively they can drain. So that's great. He's also in the 50% for weight (27lbs) but only 25% (32.5") for height. Kid doesn't look like he should weigh that much but oh, he does. He is 8lbs less than DS1...who is 3.5yr older...

Snowy day here. Only two inches but we’ve already played outside and ds requested to stay in pjs. I’m making cookies. Ds runs in and yells “mama! You’ve got to see this!” and drags me the living room where Dd is holding up her diaper, pjs strewn on the ground. Making it the THIRD time I have found Dd without her pants and diaper today. This child. I cannot.
I am not ready to potty train again but I guess I have no choice.

Considering getting E into underwear this weekend. She stayed dry most of the weekend and used the potty most days.

Potty training. We are going to really go after it while I'm on leave. Ugh. I hate potty training. I got so lucky with DS1, I just don't see it happening as easy with W.

I’ve mentally scheduled potty training for June. Surely I’ll have the energy for it by then, right? Right?!
I fully expect M to fight me tooth and nail on it.

Good morning! I’ve got one diaper removing in the middle of the night bandit up for grabs. Dd’s room reeks and there is the perfect little legs and belly pee print on her bed...plus a drool spot.
.....
At least it wasn’t poop? Sighs.

Oh no Lakes that sucks. Can you use extra tape to keep the diaper on?

I know she can get the onesie snaps undone during the day but maybe a onesie would discourage her just enough at night.

Baby A arrived this morning at 5am on the dot! She's my tiniest peanut at 6lbs 4oz and 17.75" long. Labor was quick again (2hr) but we left the house much sooner this time so we were checked into L&D for just under an hour before she arrived. No car baby!

Lakes, Yes! DS1 is in love and was not pleased to have to go home with my parents. DS2 was excited but mostly intrigued by her cord while loudly proclaiming how gross it was.
