DS1 turned 7 Sunday! He had a very good birthday. We had a little party with my parents Saturday and then Sunday we went to the aquarium and Legoland. He has a little cold right now, but his health has been a lot better and school is going well.
I've been having migraines and anxiety, but I went to the doctor on Monday and we have a plan to get things under control, so I feel hopeful.
QOTW: DS1 is in the same pair of Surprize by Stride Rite tennis shoes that I bought him last spring (they were a little big on him and he has small/slow growing feet). They've lasted through almost daily wear to school, playgrounds, and soccer. They look worn but they still have tread and there are no holes or anything. He has other pairs, but still prefers his old ones. Plus, they're light up ones and the lights actually still work.

Happy belated birthday, DS1 ( hawkward)! I'm glad he had a great day! J is 4.75 - she turns 5 in May and I'm in denial. She's doing well. No real news to report. She found her Easter dress, which is huge in her world LOL She's also excited about her upcoming dance recital. It's the weekend before her birthday and she can't wait. We're also trying to plan her birthday party. We're thinking pizza and cake at the local park. We're also inviting school friends for the first time, so that should be fun. I feel bad because a lot of folks have parties on weekdays here, which doesn't work for us. And one of her friends has a party this weekend, but we can't make it. Sigh... sometimes I hate my very seasonal job. How are you? Meh. Very VERY busy, missing my kids. J cried last night because she misses me in the mornings. I've been leaving the house at 5 a.m. to get to work by 5:30/6, so I don't see her in the morning anymore. This tax season has been really hard. QOTW: Dude, J goes through shoes soooo quickly. She's also a size 11 already (#bigfoot). We like the Surprize Stride Rite brand at Target. They're colorful, comfortable, and inexpensive, but they last.

Remind us of your kiddo's age and let us know what's going on with him/her? Just turned 3 🙌 and he is a wild man. He loved frosting this year, forget about the actual cake. We are starting up swimming lessons next week and I am hopeful that we will get through all the sessions because he loves to be in the pool. He does not like it when I carry him around the pool so that’s just great.
Our biggest challenge right now is his diet, it is not well rounded and he has a lot of texture issues, the ped is not really concerned as long as his weight is in check. He is hungry all day long, or so he says. But if I offer him healthy choices he doesn’t want the healthy choice so can he really be that hungry?
How are you? Having spring fever and deep cleaning everything in my house. It stays clean for about a day. We booked a May vacay to a place I’ve never been sans preschooler and I am pumped.
QOTW: Best brand of tennis shoes for destructive kids? (Yes, this one is self serving.) We have had really good luck with Nike so far. The only reason we buy new pairs are when he sizes up. Feels like we go through so many shoes simply because he outgrows them so fast.

Omg sorry mine should have been posted in the toddler/preschool check in. I’m having a rough one this week staying in my lane. 😞

Can I just bust in? I’m in Tapatalk and can’t really see where I am, and often end up posting erroneously. 7 yr old deep into recreating Hogwarts at home carrying around quills feathers books for herbology...
