Sorry it has been a while since I last wrote. I decided to take on a Graduate level course this semester even though my Master's is a ways off. IT'S HARD! I mean, it's not hard like Algebra was hard , but I am swamped with work. Miles' mom is also visiting from Vermont. It's going well, though I am hoping that we are doing a good job of giving her the Germany experience :). We've had to take buses and public transportation because Miles has been too busy at work to pick out a car for himself (I am not sophisticated enough in the way of BMW Beaters to do the picking), so when he's at work, we are otherwise stuck. It's not too pricey though and I am learning the public transportation here. The thing that doesn't help is that my German is a joke (literally, people make fun of it).
Roscoe is still rotten. He managed to kill an entire nest of birds including one parent. I have NO idea how this took place, but it was quite sad. I have taken to blowing bubbles for him because he likes to kill those before they can touch the ground. Lea gets a kick out of it. She doesn't judge her homicidal big brother.
We went to our local toy store the other day and got Lea a few choice items. A rocking horse, a pink chair with the classroom-style desk coming out of the arm, and those mega block things (think big legos). Talk about hours of entertainment! She'll sit and build these huge structurally unsound towers. When they fall, she laughs hysterically and says "oop, it fell down!" It's pretty cute.
We are working on weaning. Actually, Lea is working on NOT weaning, but I have gotten her down to a nursing before her nap and before her bedtime. With the pregnancy, things are a bit sore, having her latched makes nauseous and dizzy, and I just feel that it's time. She is 20 months old. My goal is to have her totally weaned by the time she turns two. It'll be nice to have my chest to myself for a few months before the baby comes.
the toys sound fun! did you ever decide on a playhouse? i miss having our babes play together. :(
ReplyDeletei hope that weaning goes well for you both. i was wondering how you were faring with the sensitivity (something i personally dread). Logan is down to 2x a day, sometimes 3...
good luck with your classes! you've probably already told me this, but how much longer do you have to go?
Aww those poor baby birds!! Oh well, its good protien for him! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are all doing well. We miss you here in Ohio!!
I think I have a bit over a year until I get my BS, I think. I want to continue on. . . . forever. But my big goal is to get my Master's in Education.
ReplyDeleteThe sensitivity is toe curling bad. I am trying to meet her emotional needs at this point, but I want to be done. She's almost there, though. I think the one before bed at night is going to be the kicker. She doesn't fall asleep on it anymore, though and can put herself to bed so I call that progress :)
We did get the wooden playhouse and Miles had grand plans of finishing and varnishing it, but we got most of the way done back in APRIL, then I found out that bean is coming and my lazy man never finished it. I get on him all the time, but he's a butt.
I wish the kids could play, too.
