A will stop what he is doing and dance to this song. He may have been overwhelming me a bit tonight, so I played it on my phone. It worked. He had fun and I got to watch him bounce, shake his booty and bob his head. Thank you Ed and Travis. music.youtube.com/watch?v=HTAGWZXM99k

I’m at work today, and then flying back up to nor Cal tonight. Then we have our long drive back down tomorrow.
I went to DD1’s school orientation yesterday and I’m so excited for her to start. She is going to love it. It has been a logistical nightmare piecing together after care, but it will be worth it.

I can tell that your daughter will love kindly thatgolfb, she seems mature and ready! Sorry for all the stress you've been under though. At least the kids are happy.

Nothing much going on for us today. Went for Daddy daughter haircuts and breakfast. Jojo was a crazy baby at breakfast, not her usual self at all. I think she's getting another tooth. Then we had DH's cousin over with his two girls so that was fun for the kids.

cnf, sorry about the job. Hopefully this one turns out to be something you enjoy. As far as daycare, I totally understand mom guilt, but my E gets excited about daycare every morning. I bet C will be the same way.

I started work again last week. We had professional development M-Th. The kids start on Monday. I didn’t feel at all ready to start last week, but I’m getting excited now. The fall-like weather today is helping too.

Hi, I hope this isn’t weird. I’ve been lurking on general discussion for a little while then branched out to this BMB. I’d like to jump in if you’ll have me.
My DD obviously was born Nov 2017. She is happy, stubborn, quick tempered, and hilarious. She also happens to have Down syndrome. I’m in a BMB on Facebook for mom’s of kids with DS, but I feel like I could really benefit from talking with some moms of typically developing kids. Truth be told, we’re really not that different anyway, but the DS groups get so bogged down by therapy talk. It’s been refreshing to read the daily stuff without worrying about what anyone’s OT said.
Obviously you all have posting together for over two years now so if you aren’t open to a stranger jumping in I won’t be offended. Just figured I’d say hello and see how it goes 🙂

Hi and welcome culinarycanary. I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but I find it refreshing to get some new blood in here. My Dd is Nov, but we actually also have some some December 2017 moms in here as well, we merged with them. Just to give you the 411. 😊 do people still say that? 🤣

Oh thatgolfb, well then 😬 childcare is so brutal around here too. Hi newbie, I'm happy to have you join in! How's that for things people don't say anymore 😂

I go back to work tomorrow. And my babies start daycare for the first time ever 😭 I hope I like this job. I need to actually start doing some serious work. I have new teacher orientation M-W but I'll send the girls to DC still Th and F so I can work and ACTUALLY get half of anything accomplished. I'm having a lot of feelings both around this job and the beginning of the year and being somewhere new AGAIN and sending them off and just all of it.

I had my 1st skin check at the dermatologist on Thursday and they found a suspicious mole on my hip. I got it removed and it's still bleeding. It's right where I hold AJ so it keeps getting opened up. I'm absolutely so nervous about the results

We had ds1s 5th birthday party yesterday. It went well and he got a lot of great non-toys! I rented a bounce house and it was a huge hit with everyone. His actual birthday is on Monday so little bro is going to daycare and my H and I are taking him to an amusement park- should be a fun time!

I'm losing my health insurance next year so I went and got a skin check, a physical, mammogram, etc while I can. And thanks, me too

Welcome culinarycanary! Happy to have you! quinn, hopefully it heals and results come back clear. thatgolfb, how frustrating. A is taking his diaper off after he pees, and brings me a warm, full diaper and a smile. Guess it is time to break out the little potty. Sucks, because we spend so much time in the car with pick up and drop offs. I feel like I have zero idea what I’m doing, it is like the other three just trained themselves.

Fingers crossed it’s nothing quinnI totally understand the mom guilt of daycare cnf, but both my boys love going. There are always kids to play with and I found it to be the perfect balance of stimulation for them that they don’t get at home. My boys get “bored” with their toys and being away during the day and coming back makes their toys feel like new again. Plus, the socialization they get at daycare is very important. Hopefully the job pans out ok even though it’s not ideal. You really just need to make it through this year and can always look for more options next year. Happy birthday DS1 jules1614,

It’s my last day of vacation. I picked out my clothes for the week (it’s a major time saver in the morning) and it was pretty depressing trying on clothes. I wish I had more time to work out.
E has a cold. He’s been pretty healthy all summer and it’s finally hit us. Luckily he’s staying home with my H this week. He doesn’t start the new daycare until next Tuesday.
