10 Things

I’ve been trying to be better about trying to update this, in hopes that my family (hi mom and dad!) will learn how to use it.  Heh!

1.) My personal work schedule has been….well, reworked….so that my once quite winter’s are now a bona fide crap storm.

2.) Remind me never to complain about being bored.

3.) Today is Monday and I’m batting 1000 as a Mama.  I forgot Emerson’s 1/2 gallon of milk, the daycare survey, and her hat.  Luckily I had an extra hat in the car.  Let’s not discuss the million things I forgot for myself today.

4.) We bought Emerson a new winter coat.  Honestly, the kid is a hot box and since we don’t play outside in the winter b/c she’s just learning to walk, it was no biggie.  However, the new daycare DOES play outside.  Do you know how hard it is to find a kid a coat in January???  I finally found one at TJ Max.  Last and only one.  It was GAWD Aweful.  Turquoise and darker blue animal print.  BLEH!

5.) Old Navy to the rescue-not a puffer coat in her size, but something nice and warm and in a neutral color. 

6.) I always wondered about the parents who dressed their kids in that kind of stuff—not the older kids who pick it out, but the ones who have it picked out FOR them.  Now I know….they waited until mid-winter to buy a coat and all that was left was that and then spring crap.

7.) Em is cutting at least one new tooth and it’s a doozy.  Poor kid.  However, when her mouth isn’t bugging her she’s reached a whole new level of fun.  My kid is awesome.

8.) I’m also noticeing Emerson is a bit more independant.  I thank the new daycare for that.  Of course, matt has to remind me to let her do her own thing and stop hovering.

9.) Emerson is a walking machine.  Like honest to goodness toddler.  Her nickname is Frankenstein :)

10.) Baby girl is still sporting her mullet like a rockstar-ha!
