Despite the heat last night, we still made it out to the community event going on in our area. It was so cool! They had about 40+ police cars all parked with the lights flashing, plus they had a handful of firetrucks too. Emerson loved it! He was able to meet the police dog too. He chased that poor dog all around. We had a good time, but then took a break to cool off in Barnes and Noble. Em played with the train table they had set up forever. He screamed when it was time to leave, but thus is life. It did give me a good indication of what I should get him for Christmas though. I found a lot of train tables at Walmart, so I think that’ll be his main gift. I’ll fill in the blanks with some puzzles, books, etc.
Afterwards, I got Emerson a nugget kid meal and myself a bottle of water. I didn’t want to blow my diet on day #2, so I ate according to my meal plan when we got home. Smelling nuggets and fries was pure torture though. After Em was in bed, I did my workout, showered, had snack, watched tv, then went to bed. I woke up 12 minutes late today too, but we still left the house on time. Yesterday while waiting for the bus, someone threw some kind of liquid on me. It hit me right on the back of my legs. It smelled like beer. At my bus stop downtown, there are always a ton of homeless looking people loitering. It really ticks me off. They never bother me, but yesterday, they did. I hope I don’t encounter any nonsense today. I was not happy at all. I’m sure my tax dollars are paying for them somehow. At least respect the people working to take care of you, bums!
Tonight, we’re not doing anything, but going home. I want to keep Emerson out of the sun as much as possible. Like I said earlier, he got sunburnt at Sandcastle this past weekend. With how hot it is out too, his face just gets so red from being overheated. It makes him look 10 times more sunburnt than he really is. It’s just too hot to be outside right now. Luckily, we get a break on Saturday and Sunday. The temperature goes back down to the low 80’s. These Mid to high 90’s are ridiculous! It makes it absolutely unbearable and impossible to do anything outdoors. I’d grin and bear it, but I can’t do that to my kiddo. We decided to go to Jellystone on Saturday, so that means we’ll do the waterpark on Sunday if everyone isn’t too beat up from Saturday. Otherwise, we’ll do the Science Center instead, so that we’re still getting out, but we’ll at least be indoors.
I was able to shift some things around in my budget, so that I can pay for soccer on Friday. This way, I won’t need to worry about us missing our spot. I believe they only take up to 15 kids per session at each location. That isn’t a lot at all, so I definitely want to make sure I sign him up sooner rather than later.
I also need to choose a weekend to just stay home. I need to crack down on potty training. I want to buy Em some undies and just let him wear those around for an entire weekend. We can practice using the potty because I doubt he will like having soaked undies from peeing in them. I’m hoping that gives us the major push that we need. We will see though. I’d love to have him potty trained before his third birthday, but that seems awfully aggressive eat this point. If I could at least have him trained during the day by then, I’ll be happy.
I almost forgot, I took the day off on Monday, so we’re having a nice, long weekend. I think we’re just going to do the spray park on Monday and probably swim in my parent’s pool. We’ll keep it free that day. We’ve only visited this new spray park once this season, so we might as well make another trip over there.
Alright, that is about all I have. Have a super Wednesday, All!
