Horray!! Finally a good day!! Although it was not a great start. I have moved my alarm clock..it's now under my pillow..hoping to actually wake myself up. I have not mastered the art of radio alarm... force of habit, I always use the buzzer. Anyways, I pressed snooze for like an hour because I was so tired I couldn't turn it off. Then Jackson decided to play with his trains out side my bedroom door, after he got up and ate a bag of skittles. I then threw the alarm clock at the wall and dented it... Good morning. But things were looking way up from there. Even though both Cody and I were apprehensive about the day ahead, everything went VERY smoothly.
We packed up the limo (by that I mean my giant sit&stand stroller... very luxurious for the kids... very hard to maneuver for me) and headed to Lonsdale. We grabbed a giant coffee at Timmy's and got on a bus. Haven't done that in a while. Jackson had a blast. He chatted up some asian lady that couldn't speak english, but clearly thought Jackson was hilarious. It took forever trying to get the limo off the bus, but we made it. To 80's we go!! Parker was crashed and slept in the stroller while Cody and I had a lovely brunch with our big boy. He was so polite and asked to use the bathroom. There was no fighting/yelling/screaming , and we all enjoyed ourselves. We decided to go to the Library and renew our card and get some books for the boys. Jackson found some kids to play with and picked out some books and a video. He really liked the library and I can't wait to take him back to return our books and get some new ones.Then we were off to St.Andrew's park. Jackson is getting very independent and had no problem making a couple new friends at the park. Parker and I left Jack and Code at there and went up to our doctors appointment. Everything went well. Parker gained a little bit of weight even though he learned to crawl (OH YEAH!!! he learned to crawl on our anniversary... very sweet). Another appointment in 2 weeks and a blood appointment Wednesday. Poor kid. We went back to the park and got the other two and walked home. Jackson read his book and Parker happily napped in the stroller.
This may not seem like a big feat for some, but Jackson was a monster every time I took him out in public when I was pregnant. After Parker was born I stopped trying... the only places I could take him were baby group, and places where there wasn't a ton of people. He threw fits everywhere... and usually in the most crowed places... sooo embarrassing. Not to mention Cody. He hates being out in public and gets frustrated when things get crazy.. then he just wants to go home.
Anyways. I have been trying to write a blog for a few days. It keeps turning into a big, bitchy, angry rant. I have been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting.... and I haven't had many good days. But this was definitely up there on the awesome family day scale. :) I love these boys so much. I am really looking forward to the bit of time Cody has off. With the extra help I feel like I can enjoy both kids a little bit more.
