Today was the second week of our Play and Learn group. This week I had Warren in the fake Bjorn. It was a life saver. I was able to play with Laura how she wanted and he could be cuddled up with me like he wanted. Today’s craft/art project was matching shapes and gluing them onto a piece of paper. When we got home, Laura had a good lunch and Warren continued to snooze. Once Laura was eating, Warren decided it was time to wake up and have some lunch as well. Both kids we napping by 12:30 today. That is a true rarity! I’ve been catching up on some recorded tv.
Laura has woken up. We had some cuddle time, and now she is playing with her baby, stroller, and baby carrier. Hopefully we can get outside a little bit this afternoon. I really should get us out as much as I can before it gets too cold outside.
I almost called to say we wouldn’t make it to Play and Learn this morning. I was in one of my funks again and thought about just staying inside. Instead, I forced us to go. I’m glad I did. Laura has so much fun at play group. It helped for me to be with other people too. Tomorrow I have my 6 week appointment and then we are doing some visits on campus in the morning. Not sure what we’ll do in the afternoon. I feel like I should do some crafts/learning activities with Laura during the week. Abbie has gotten me thinking about this by posting on her blog what she is doing with Lizzie.
Don’t expect all my entries to be this long! There may be days where I just post a few sentences. I mmay also have days where I just ramble on and on. Don’t feel like you have to read it all! I am doing this mainly for me. I think it will help to get thoughts out. The other reason for keeping this journal is to track milestones for the kids. I didn’t track Laura’s as well as I should have. Hopefully I’ll keep track of Warren’s better.
I am going to spend some one-on-one time with Laura while Warren continues to nap.
