Busy Week
May 14, 2010I don’t have any good excuses for my lack of blogging (plenty of bad ones, but no good ones). It’s been a busy week. Work has been very busy. Home has been pretty busy too.
Xander managed to give Parker his first black eye this week. It happened at day care. Whenever I see the day care number on the caller id I expect to hear either that someone is vomiting or that someone has broken a bone (I’ve never received the second call yet, but I’m expecting it). I love that the first thing they tell me is “this is not an emergency” (phew!). Apparently Xander and Parker were playing, and even though we *just* had the conversation about why it isn’t ok to pick up your brother the night before, Xander tried to pick Parker up. Of course, Parker is catching up to Xander, so it’s tough for Xander to actually lift his little brother off the ground. To account for this challenge, Xander tried to pick Parker up by grabbing him around the knees, which of course caused Parker to tumble forward and conveniently directly into the edge of a heat register. The shiner is impressive.
According to the kindergarten readiness sheet day care sent home last week Xander needs to learn how to write his name legibly and draw a person with 5 parts (head, arms, legs, etc.) and then he’s pretty much G2G and since he has over a year to learn that stuff, he’s in good shape! He’s been overly difficult in the eating department this week and we’re not sure why.
Xander has also decided he has a friend named “Vadin” (no clue how to actually spell that) who is “brown” and lives in Campton and it apparently a “big kid”. I have no idea where he gets this stuff but it’s pretty cute.
We’ll hopefully have some fun this weekend (the weather is supposed to be nice) so I’ve got a few things planned – we’ll see what pans out…
