We had a busy day. Went to the botanical gardens. It was on the summer agenda because they are having a lego exhibit & it's over at the end of August so figured to visit. It was a perfect time to go. Beautiful weather today. After that we went to a 'corn festival' on the way home. We haven't been in a few years. There was a car show & then the regular fair stuff. We're finally home & then came home to the iconic letter in the mail from school. Had the hello letter from his new teacher & one from his principal with the regular stuff. One thing that I noticed was on the back of the teacher's letter was a supply list. This supply list is a smidge different than the one on the website. In fact, it's smaller than the one on the website. I go based on her list, right? I'm annoyed things are already contradictory. Lol the list on the website is the same one they gave out at the end of last year & the one the pto was advertising about 'if you want to get a headstart on school supplies' yada yada & now it's not the same. Will I look neurotic emailing her to ask or do I just assume her list is the right one? So many questions.

I've spent the day enjoying the sunshine! Farmers market and soccer this morning and BLTs on the back patio for lunch. My SIL and I went to an open air market and now I'm taking DS to my schools pool party. DS and nephew had a great sleepover and afternoon together! It's been a nice Saturday.

Watching some great sibling interactions today made me really wish I wanted another kid. MH wants one and dd would make an amazing big sister which both make this feeling even worse. Sorry to be a downer.

Just got done making s'mores over the dying fire. Nice way to relax after working on the house a bunch today.

Hope everything turns out okay with your pup @chair. bellatrix - I got to see lots of sibling interaction yesterday and it once again reinforced my decision to be OAD. Dealing with all the fighting and tantrums over not being able to open the other siblings presents is not something I care to do. ETA - sorry being OAD gets to you. Hopefully the all the wonderful things about being OAD set back in soon.

Hopefully the all the wonderful things about being OAD set back in soon. It doesn't usually. Miraculously most of the interactions I saw yesterday were cute, sweet ones. I'm sure if there had been fighting I would have been internally patting myself on the back for being oad. Lol

Hope your dog is okay @chair.
DD has a teacher. The principal called us yesterday. She's not in the same class as her friends, but oh well. I think she'll manage just fine and meet some new kids. We're ready for orientation tomorrow!

We had brunch for my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary today. We all had such a good time! It's been a tough year so it was nice to come all together for a good occasion.
We're off to the pool now! Gotta soak up summer sun!

Today we went to a car show. It was deemed by the metropark as one of the state's largest. Damn, it was big. We ended up not seeing it all because it was getting too hot & DS didn't want to walk anymore. Lol He's getting to the age that car shows are cool. At first he kind of whined like 'another car show' since the festival we did yesterday had a very small one but then once we got in there he was all about seeing them. Lol Kid, I know you more than you know yourself, when will you realize this?? We had a good time. Afterwards, we went out for ice cream. I was thinking about going to the pool but too lazy.

I probably wouldn't have them if mh was 100% oad... My H is not 100% oad. It makes it very stressful sometimes. We're nearing the cutoff as far as how old I'm willing to get pregnant at, so only a few more years of "discussion". What makes it hard for me is that he will randomly be like "You really don't want another...?" Umm...dude, I thought I had made it clear? :/

I get that from my H too. It's why I said we'd discuss it next year. I basically stalled the conversation, but I'm done. Sorry your h is as frustrating as mine. ❤

bellatrix, sorry you had to deal with the conflicting emotions. I think it's totally normal to see sibling interactions and want that for your kid, even if you don't want another kid. I often see DS playing with his cousins or other kids and think what a great big brother he would make, but then I don't want it more than I don't want to do any more rounds of IVF/FET, of that makes sense. And we're in the situation where my H is the one that's more done, so that helps. @chair, hope everything is ok with your dog!

We had a really mellow, low-key weekend, which was much needed for us. I wound up being able to get DS into the dermatologist Friday afternoon, and even though I had to wake him early from his nap and then endure a total of three hours of terrible traffic and doctors office waiting, it was totally worth it because the rash we've been dealing with for months is GONE! His bum is still irritated because he had scratched/bothered the area so much, but I'm so happy the rash itself seems to have cleared up finally!
