It's been raining a bit every day all week. It's great because our lawn and trees really need water. We let the kids don their rain gear yesterday after we brought them home from school.
They enjoyed it thoroughly.
Sidney ate his dinner every day since this past Friday. Today he ate around half of his dinner. I was so happy that he was eating his dinner since most of the time he takes one look at it, pushes the plate away and announces he's not hungry. We make him sit with us until Cleo's done with her dessert. Sometimes just sitting there he will change his mind and eat.
I finally made it back into the gym. I went Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and today. I am so proud of myself. I signed up for a Kaiser Permanente 5K race for Sept. 13 and I plan on running most of it. My company pays the entry fee and arranges everything for us. My work pal and I are going to train to run it. She's not a runner and you all know I am not a runner. Today, I went on the treadmill for 30 minutes. For 18 of the minutes I ran/jogged. It felt great at the time but I think I pulled something in my thigh. I am sure it'll feel fine soon. I just need to take things slower and not run so much at one time.
This past weekend Cleo, Sidney and I went to Cleo's friend Brookelyn's younger sister Lauryn's 2nd birthday. Cleo and I attended Lauryn's 1st birthday party too. Cleo and Brookelyn are in the same class at their daycare. Cleo and Sidney both had turns hitting the piñata. Sidney got to go first because he was the youngest child able to participate. Here he is patiently waiting his turn. Cleo's pal Quintin is standing next to Sidney.
Cleo's friend Alexandria also attended the party. In the friends shot are Brookelyn, Alexandria and Cleo.
Sidney made a "Royalty" crown in school this week and took it home yesterday. He insisted on wearing it in the car and at dinner.
Sidney is essentially potty trained at school. He never wears pull-ups and sleeps in just his underwear. We are still working on getting him to that point at home. I suppose we could not put him in pull-ups so we are consistent with what they do at school. We would still put him in pull-ups for naps and overnight. Cleo was 5 before we stopped putting her in pull-ups overnight.
Sidney has matured a lot and is so smart. He asks a lot of questions like Cleo does and is super observant and curious.
This weekend we have two playdates on Saturday. At 10am, my former work friend Cindy is coming over with her 2 year-old daughter Madison. Cindy had a little boy in January named Matthew. Matthew is not coming; he is staying with his dad. Cleo, Sidney, Roger and I attended Madison's 2nd birthday this past December.
Then, at 6pm we are going to Alexandria and Quintin's house for a BBQ playdate. They invited other people so it's like a casual party. We are bringing a vegetable and pasta salad side dish.
We are all set for uniforms for Cleo for the Fall. We need to find long sleeve hunter green polos. I want to find them at a store because returning them to online stores only, e.g., French Toast, is expensive. I still cannot believe that she starts kindergarten in a few weeks.
