Dh and I took the day off together. We are going to some outlets about an hour away. Then lunch and naps are on deck.

My children are barnacles. Normally I love it, but I just want mop the main level this morning and thought I could do it while they watched tv and ate breakfast. Nope, I had a little helper every 2 minutes and plenty of "Mama! What are you doing?!?""

How are you feeling this morning, wedding? Better. My stomach is a little angry still. This past week I’ve been having a bunch of unexplained low blood sugars and then when I eat to correct them I get GI upset. I’m not sure what’s up. I have my annual exam in a couple of weeks so unless it gets worse, I’ll wait and bring it up then.

Is it mostly fat and dairy that that's upsets your stomach or roughage?

Morning! Today is my due date, but I don't feel any closer to having a baby. Evie has a ballet performance, and my son has field day at his school, and then I've made it through most of my things to do for the week, whew!
Theo has a balance bike arriving today and I am looking forward to giving it to him. He tries so hard to keep up with the big kids on his little tricycle thing, but it's too small. He's going to be thrilled 😊

Morning! I have a doctors appointment today. Then c and I are going to LO's school to watch him do a color run. I'm trying to decide if we take him home with us or come back and pick him up later.

Happy due date, dapostrophe! Looks like your baby decided to do the opposite of what A and Goldie's P did!

Morning! Just A and I today. I'm eating salad with my coffee because I made a big cashew chopped salad with peanut ginger dressing last night and it was so good, I wanted more!

On the bicycle front, Josie has a scooter and a tricycle and she loves both equally, but I'd like to get her bike and I'm toying between a real bike with training wheels and a balance bike. Is ir an easier transition from one to a two wheeler?

Is ir an easier transition from one to a two wheeler? C didn't have a balance bike and caught onto riding a bike with no training wheels immediately. His friend had a hard time transitioning from a balance bike because she couldn't get the peddling down. So basically, I think a lot just really depends on the kid! I have heard great things about balance bikes though and am thinking about getting my niece one.

Is ir an easier transition from one to a two wheeler? Yes, everyone (except Evelyn) has been a few days to two weeks (Theo) late, so I'm not surprised or feeling anxious just yet. IMO the balance bike is helpful for when they are younger (Theo is 2.5) to get the idea of balancing. Evie is on a bike with training wheels now and I've noticed she is balancing enough when she rides, that we can probably take them off soon. We set the training wheels on an angle so they don't rely on them too much but it helps them not to fall, if that makes sense.

I was hoping for better weather this weekend so we could buy something and try it out on the trails, but looks like rain so it might be something we have to wait for.

E is working on earning a new bike. I've decided he will earn $. I think he will be ready for no training scheduled by the end of summer but I imagine we won't switch until next year.

Morning! As I said last night I will be babysitting my friend’s kids this morning so that’ll be exciting for H & S. I told her to bring swimsuits because it’s supposed to get up to 90 and I figured the kids might want to play in the sprinklers. I have to work this evening for a few hours. Happy due date dapostrophe! I hope it turns into Labor Day!

H has a 12in bike with training wheels. I think she’s getting close to outgrowing it, but I don’t think she’s tall enough for a 16. I keep trying to get S to peddle the trike but she won’t do it. I’m hoping she picks it up soon so I don’t have to always push her.

wedding have fun! dapostrophe happy due date! Sunny41 I told ds this: ‘remember the seeds we planted last week? Well it’s a little like that. Daddy has a seed, mommy has an egg and her belly is like a pot with soil. Daddy put the seed in mommy and when it finds the egg they start to grow.’ Nowhere near perfect, but this was almost a year ago and I was caught off guard. Al least it the truth?

She biked on the 12” to the park and it was almost harder to peddle since it was so small. She’s doing great on the 16”

Ds has a balance bike which he loves, he has no interest whatsoever in a ‘real’ bike... he should be learning to ride a bike around this age right?

Morning! Dh took the kids to daycare and I got in a walk/run outside. Now I’m wfh today but i expect it to be pretty quiet like it usually is before a holiday weekend.
We’re heading to the ILs after work until Sunday morning. N told me she didn’t want me and dh to stay there with her because she didn’t want us to see all the treats she eats... 🙄

Cadence never pedaled. Straight up refused. So I got her a regular bike, I believe it is a 16in, with training wheels. She loves it. She is still learning that she has to continually pedal, but she thinks it's great. She does however, manage to fall every single time mh takes her out to ride it.
