Oh, it's Friday. Happy day!
Today was actually an effer of a day, people. Grayson had a shit night last night (by about 4 a.m., I'm usually ready to lose my ever-loving mind) and slept for MAYBE a total of two hours all day. That two hours was really broken too, so when he was awake, he was pretty miserable. I finally got a 40 minute to an hour nap out of his cute butt just before supper by laying down with him and sneaking away when he was good and asleep. After that he was just happy as a clam and I was just happy as a clam to put him to bed early. I keep waiting for the tomorrow that will actually be a better day. I've been waiting for nearly three months. I continue to wait. But, damn he's cute.
1. So, I think in a post a week-ish ago, I said how my parents would be home in two weeks. I realized (much to my dismay) that I was wrong; at that time, they would have been home in three weeks. In talking to them today, I mentioned that they would be on their way home two weeks from today and they informed me that, no, they get back on Thursday, February 5th. One day closer than I thought. I shouldn't be as excited about one day as I am, but I can't help it. I can't wait to see them and I can't wait for them to see Grayson, who grew so much and became a social little chatterbox while they were away. And I can't wait for them to see how much Carter is excelling in gymnastics. They will be so proud and Carter will be very happy to have his cheerleading team back on the benches :)
2. The weather here is so nice, you could wear a spring coat. This is the kind of winter I could get on board with. I'd really still prefer that winter be 2.5 months (max) and summer be four months longer (as would most of you reading this), but we're the fools that keep choosing to live here.
3. We had an another appointment with the speech therapist for Carter this morning and it went well. His vocabulary has flourished since we saw her last. He's talking a lot now and repeating everything. The issue at this point is how he pronounces words. I think this is a really common struggle for toddlers as they learn how to talk (not pronouncing 'r' and that sort of thing), so she gave us some tips on how to work with him to improve how he speaks.
The speech therapy is free of charge and is provided for by our health region. I think we're pretty fortunate to live in a place where a service like this exists and is free of charge to families who have a valid health card provided by the province.
And that's that. The warm weather is supposed to continue, so tomorrow, we are going to take Carter tobogganing. I'm going to put Grayson in his snowsuit and do his "first time in the snow" picture too. I can't believe I haven't done that yet!
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Have a good weekend, everyone and I'll see you all tomorrow!
