N decided last night he couldn't come down to our bed on his own and screamed for me to go up and get him. I tried to convince him to come down or meet me halfway but it wasn't happening. He will sleep someday right?

I'm not ready to be back in reality. The weekend was so nice. The girls are motivated to start their behavior charts. Hopefully the fervor lasts a while. We're doing one big goal to work for plus daily small rewards if they earn all of their stars for the day. What small rewards are you doing? I ordered that one chart you linked last week. I was thinking of doing some Disney DVD's as a larger reward.

I was just thinking last night that I need to go to the zoo. The only issue is Wednesdays are O's day off from school and that's the "free" day (so it's crowded). Everyday is free day at our zoo, but that $20 parking... Or the frustration of riding the metro and walking . . . .

Just spoke with the vet. Max's thyroid was slightly high so we are hoping that is the cause of the weight loss. We are adjusting his meds and will talk in two weeks. If he's not better she thinks it could be something more sinister. The other problem with increasing the thyroid med is that when you increase those it can harm the kidneys and he is already in renal failure. So it's like trading one problem for another while trying to find a balance.

Bonus for this weekend -- the girls finally ate deli meat and watermelon. For some unknown reason those were among the many foods they wouldn't even try. They liked both of them so I can start adding turkey sandwiches into the rotation. I get the deli meat but why wouldn't they try watermelon? IDK, they're weird? I think the appearance turned them off. I can make a meal out of watermelon during the summer so I'm happy that I have one more food for the rotation that the entire family eats. Maddie actually got a slice herself for her plate and cautiously tried it. Then she talked to Cass and told her it was good and offered her a bite. Cass gave it a go and I silently was cheering as I witnessed this interaction.

I was thinking of doing some Disney DVD's as a larger reward. I was also thinking things like new movies for the big rewards. Along with whatever random crap of the moment they are begging for--ice cream from the ice cream truck, they are currently working on a new stuffed animal they saw at a store.
Small daily rewards: new e-book for their Kindles, an extra story at bedtime, an extra candy from the treat cabinet, etc. I also might do things like "extra" 10 minutes at the park and just warn them earlier than I actually planned to leave that it's time to go but then set my cell phone timer for 10 minutes because they "earned" it with good behavior. I'm deceitful like that.

Guys, calimocho is red wine and coke, and it's sold in the hallways of Spanish university! Cher, I'm jealous of your summer nanny. So jealous. I think it's a great idea. wedding, I hope the "easy" answer is the right one and Max is getting better quickly

Re: beer and wine. I like wine better, but a cold white beer on a hot summer day... I'm not a big fan of cider, I usually think they're to sweet. And yes to mojito's, any day all day, thank you very much.

Are you doing anything exciting? No nothing much, ordering sushi and drinking prosecco. We went to dinner last week because of our anniversary and it's dd's birthday tomorrow, which we're celebrating Sunday, so I'm good with low key.
