This week, I signed Noah up for preschool in the Fall at Kids Village. He is going to be in the "Little Sprout" group. I was surprised to find that spaces were already limited, so we were forced to do afternoon which I'm okay with. I think it will be nice for Noah to get out and socialize and play with other kids when the baby comes and he's cooped up in the house. Since he is so young, I felt bad leaving him so he will just go 2 days a week for a couple hours, but I'm hoping it gives me some time to play catch up if I can get him to school and the baby down for an afternoon nap. These scheduled breaks are going to be a lifesaver for me, and hopefully for Noah as well. They have a cooking class, science class, play time, reading time and music time. It's laid out like a village surrounding a tree house. Everything was so quaint and friendly, and I was surprised how new and clean everything was. Hope he likes it...
The other day I was reminded of how grown up Noah is becoming. He is starting to grasp the idea that you don't want to be naked in front of other people, starting to use bigger words like "usually" and asking more thought provoking questions. He found a spray scent freshener in the bathroom and after me explaining it to him I forgot about the conversation. The next time he had pooped I hear him asking me to come and wipe him. I walked in and he had a huge smile on his face and asked "Does it smell stinky in here?" To my surprise it smelled fruity and then he showed me the spray that he had so thoughtfully used for my benefit. He now uses it every time and loves that he is a big boy. I wondered how many times I have forgotten about how much he loves to take in the world around him and experience things for himself and I forget to include him in things like that. The other day I sent him to his room after he threw a foam toy at Bella's face when they were ...
I've had this weird urge to see Ireland for a really long time now. I finally decided I was going to book it and talked three sisters (Kate, Karyn and Kami) and one SIL (Linh) into coming. I was shocked how easily it all came together and everyone was basically just up for some good old fashioned girl time. It seemed like a good trip to take without the kids since I knew it would just be a lot of driving and sight seeing which they would definitely not be that into. It was so fun just being able to be as carefree as you can be while driving around on the left side of the road. The flight getting there was an absolute fiasco since storm Stella decided to move in the day we were scheduled to arrive in JFK. Five scheduled flights later, Aer Lingus eventually rescheduled us out of Orlando after a day of being on the phones and we were able to get out and arrived just a few hours later than originally planned. We had a bunch of layovers but at ...
I wanted to take a minute and write down the story of how Cole Henry Brinton became a part of our family. After a few years of trying we knew it was time to start taking other measures. Dr. Nance, my regular OB/GYN, started me on clomid which is how I got Isabel after six months on it. Well we did that and nothing so the doctor order me to go into the hospital and have a HSG test which basically they shoot dye into your uterus and tubes to make sure there are no obstructions. He said they usually came back normal but it was the first test they run since it's usually the quickest at finding a problem. Well I went in expecting to have a quick in and out. The radiologist said he would only need to be taking three films and it would be over. Well of course that's not what happened. He began filling my uterus with dye and it would not enter the tubes. In other words, Ouch! This causes you to start having major cramping and I wasn't expecting to...
