Random Thoughts

Today I sprinkled the ant hills and soon to be garden with corn meal. I read they can't digest it and will die, here's to hoping.

Babyum had speech today. We played outside with chalk and a ball and did some running, hopping and other fun things. He said "go go go", "Buh" (for ball), "Muh" (for more) and "up". It was the best speech appointment (lesson?) he's had yet! He loves being outdoors, so until it's too hot, I guess that's where we'll be. He is also learning letter sounds. I figure if he won't say words, I'll at least get him to say something! He knows A B D E I M O P R T U and sometimes Q, only he says Cuuu instead of the sound Qu. And counting, this kid is a counting fool! Granted the numbers all come out "duh duh duh" but still. We have a Lily Counting Pal and he pushes her belly and then points to the items in her book as she counts them. Awesome =)

Doodlebug is 5 now and tonight wanted her bed rail off. She was a little concerned about where her cup was going to go, but insisted we take it off. Today she didn't cry to go to school!! Yay!! I think she just wants to spend more time with us at home, and it's tough when Babyum gets to stay home. We are reading chapter books at night now. Finished Stuart Little and Charlottes Web, now on to some Tinkerbell book. I need something more classic. Tink is just not doing it for me =)

My Mandasoup (niece) is getting ready to graduate HS and go off to college. She and hubby (mine, lol) are going to visit Stetson tomorrow, where she has been accepted and will attend in the fall! I'm really going to miss her. Really. She is such a great kid. But I am excited for her to get out on her own and make something of her life, this is just a necessary step.

Greek yogurt: Liam is loving it (we get Voskos vanilla honey) half the sugar of regular and 12g protein!! Ohh, and add granola, yumm.

Playdate and ballet for Doodlebug tomorrow. Hopefully Babyum gets a nap before we have to go sit in the narrow hallway that is the "observation" area.

And I should be packing snack bags and getting ready for tomorrow. Or sewing. But I'll likely go put clothes away and go to bed. Maybe I can get some extra sleep and not be a zombie! (unlikely. I'll be listening for a Doodlebug falling out of bed)
