What a weekend! I was off on Friday, so Emerson and I headed over to my parent’s house to swim. My best friend and her son joined us. Em was okay in the pool. Definitely not as good as last year. He is just so wild. He wants in, then out, up, then down, in the raft, then out of the raft. It was a bit chaotic. I don’t play around water, so I was not very happy when he was being a bit too wild. We did have a good time though. I’m glad the weather held up enough for us to swim. Afterwards, we went home. Em ended up going to bed at his usual time. Nothing too fancy to report there.
Saturday, as you know, was the 4th of July. Em and I didn’t plan on going to my parent’s house until later in the day. We ended up wake up and heading out in our jammies to run some errands. I needed to get some stuff to make a flag fruit plate for our cookout that afternoon. When we were done, we stopped and had breakfast with my mom. It was nice. Then, we headed home for Em to take a nap. I got everything ready for the cookout and packed the car. We took the pack n play with us, so that Em could nap if he was tired at my parent’s house. I was also able to work out and get ready too! Bonus! We headed over to my parent’s house around 3pm. We swam for a bit and played, then Em took a nap. He slept until about 630pm. I thought that meant he’d be able to hang for the fireworks, but I was wrong. My dad did set some of his own off though, so Em got to see those. We went home around 9pm, then Em went to bed. He was pretty tuckered out. I hope next year we can stay up for the fireworks. He is just so busy and into everything. He tuckers himself out. I hope this phase ends fast, but something tells me it won’t. He completely ignores me when I say “No” It’s driving me insane! It wouldn’t matter so much if he weren’t doing things that could hurt him. He climbs onto chairs, tables, ANYTHING. He was messing with the pool filter plug too. He was trying to climb the pool ladder too even after we ALL said “No” about 3000 times. I am so sick of saying “No”. I feel like that’s ALL I do anymore. I am trying to choose battles though and not worry so much about the small things like him throwing food onto the floor. I more so care about things that’ll hurt him like scaling the television stand. It’s just one endless cycle of the word “No!”
Sunday, we stayed home for most of the day, then headed to my parent’s to swim for a bit. My sister, her fiancé, and his kiddos were there, so that made it more fun. We didn’t stay very long. Em was really tired by the time we left, but I kept him awake until his usual bedtime. He slept all nice, which was much appreciated, but I was up at 330am! Gah! I thought I heard a noise, so in typical horror movie fashion, I walk around the house trying to find what I heard. I ended up lying in bed and watching Golden Girls until 5am, then I got up, worked out, got ready, then got Em up and out to daycare. Afterwards, I went grocery shopping, then came back home to put everything away. I took my best friend a new coach present that I put together to welcome her to the team. She just signed up under me to be a beach body coach! I got her a really adorable workout tank that says “It’s time to sweat” , a fruit/water infusion bottle, an inspirational sign about having big dreams, an ADORABLE calendar/notebook for her to start tracking her business goals/needs, a to do list notepad, and a congratulatory card. It was really cute and just something that I plan on carrying out anytime I sign a new coach. I know she appreciated it and it’ll help keep her motivated, especially in these beginning days as a new coach. I know I appreciated it so much when my coach sent me a package. It gave me a little more drive to work hard and really meet my goals!
This week, we don’t have much going on at all. Em has a teddy bear picnic on Friday, so I’ll be sending in a honey comb trail mix and a teddy bear for him. Super adorable! I can’t wait to put the trail mix together. I got a really cute container to house it in and I’m going to make a tag/label that says “Don’t feed the bears”. It’s been quite some time since I’ve put anything cute together for daycare, so we are long overdue. I’m thinking we’ll just lay low this week and lag some pool time this weekend if weather permits.
Alright, I hope you all have a wonderful week!
