Why hello there! I hope you're having an outrageous week (in a good way)! Speaking of outrageous, I had the weirdest dream last night. From what I can remember I was at high school, but in my current job and I remember working with some of my co workers on a project in the computer lab... Anyway, then I went to the next classroom over to the "baby ward" to visit one of the girls at work that had a baby (irl it was ~9 months ago). Anyway, pretty strange. Back to reality, Grayson is now 3 months old! He loves to smile and is generally a very happy baby! He loves his sisters, and they love him too!
This past week Winry found this ruler I've had since I was a kid and really started to love it. I don't know if you'll ever be able to see it well, but it had dinosaurs on it, and it's one of those ones that when you tilt it it changes pictures. It was actually Spencer's back in 4th grade if you can believe the information filled in on the back (yes, this ruler is so cool a kid would hope it would be returned to them if lost). Maybe if I remember I'll get some close ups of the ruler for next week, anyway, back to Winry. Well, she found that ruler, and called it a carou-horse! (which is what she calls a carousel) She would ask you which dinosaur you wanted to ride on, and then spin it around in a circle. You might think that's a fun 15 minutes game, but that's where you're wrong. Winry played with this ruler, and only this ruler, for the ENTIRE day! And then half of the next day! This sorta feels like those stories where the kids open all their Christmas presents, and then go play in all the empty boxes instead of with their toys, EXCEPT! This story is about a kid who loved a dinosaur ruler so much he stole it from his brother, kept it for 25 years, and then let his daughter play with it for a full day! You tell me which is the better story.
We had a few warm days this past week, and so we headed to the backyard to play soccer. Brooke got some cones for Christmas and asked what to do with them so I set up a dribbling drill. She went all the way down and scored! After she asked what else we could do, I informed her that you basically just set up cones to dribble the ball around, unless she wanted to run ladders. After Brooke made a few inspired cone setups of her own, we instead started making stacks of cones to knock down.
You may be wondering where Winry was during all this excitement. Well, as potty training so often does, it has driven her to only wearing underwear all day long. She assured me she wouldn't get cold, but I made her get dressed anyway.
A quick coaxing later and she came and joined us, and even got a cone tower of her own! She's not quite a kicker yet. Also, she's really hard to time slow motion videos for. I'm pretty sure I was holding Grayson while we were out there, and he was getting fussy or cold, and I think Brooke got cold too so we headed inside. Winry wanted to just keep playing though. Here she is setting the cones back up. She was struggling with that so she didn't play outside for too much longer before coming in.
We got out our baby seat for Grayson while doing baths on Thursday night. He really liked it and did a great job sitting up! We've put him in a few times since, and he'll usually stay in there until he gets too tired from holding his head up.
Winry held Grayson a few times this past week, this is my favorite picture of them together!
As mentioned Grayson crossed 3 months so Monica put a photo shoot together. That's what the very first picture was from, and I really liked this picture of him as well! He's such a chunk already and is growing super fast!
Of course photo shoot means the girls need a turn with the phone to take pictures of each other. I would assume Winry took this one, but there isn't a finger over half the image so I'm not sure. I just don't think Brooke can selfie this well yet.
And of course, Jelly had to take her turn in the spotlight. She took a good long nap there all afternoon, and the next afternoon too!
On Friday the girls went out to jump on the trampoline. It was pretty cold so I told them to put jackets on. Winry wanted to put her jacket on all by herself, and while she did get it on.... well... I still needed to help out a little bit.
Monica got a picture with the girls and Grayson today. We actually got one where everyone was looking... except Grayson, but what can you expect, he's only 3 months.
And here's Monica with her handsome little man! Doesn't he look ready for a job interview? He was grabbing at his tie, and for some reason that reminded me of Dilbert and/or going in for a job interview. Anyway, maybe Monica will add something more meaningful here: -intentionally left blank-
That's all I've got for this week. I think we're going to try to reboot preschool some next week, so that will hopefully be exciting. Also, Monica started an elimination diet this past week, and while her constant migraines haven't gone away it's helped her not feel as dizzy! I realize I haven't talked about that yet, and I'm sure there's a ton to say, but it's late, and this is the last paragraph, so maybe next week. Anyway, have a wonderful week ahead!
