Not one single thing I planned on today happened. I was going to get up and have a leisurely morning, go for a run with Morgan, eat a salad for lunch, kiss Morgan good bye and help him make his lunch for work, play Lego Star Wars while Em slept if Coco could come over, eat a quick dinner and pick up a babysitter for Emily, Go to a consecration night at the church followed by worship practice and then when Emily was in bed and the babysitter was home I’d blog. I am now apologizing for the horrendous run on sentence. Mr. Ebbison, my English teacher, would be appalled. At least it’s spell checked, ok?
Here is what I did do. This time I’m apologizing in advance for my run on sentence.
I overslept, missing a phone call from Lana telling me to come to the drop in lunch at the resource center, I decided to go because I hadn’t seen Lana in a long time, remembering that Emily could go in the play room now because she is old enough I got her ready in a rush and headed out the door. After about 4 minuted in the play room Emily Freaked out because of the noise and then that was the end of my info session. I played in the playroom with Em for another 15 minutes before she really freaked out and demanded I let her eat crayons. Since I ate crayons as a kid I decided I wanted better things for Emily and we went home. Because Em hadn’t been up very long she wasn’t impressed with an early nap, but there was no way she was staying up either so off to bed with you! I enjoyed a pizza for lunch and woke Emily up for a “Lift the Lip” appointment with a dentist that Lana so graciously shared with me.
Emily did amazing with the dentist. She cried for a second while her mouth got the checking, but otherwise she was just super excited to hold a giant tooth brush. We got super points for being awesome parents and doing all the correct dental things for Em. My Extra Mom would be so Proud. Ill have to tell her. The Lady was so impressed with Emily and her routine that she gave me a sticker. Well Em didn’t want it so I got an Ernie sticker and a glow in the dark toothbrush. Can one really brush adequately in the dark? I doubt it. We didn’t even get a fluoride treatment. Touchy subject I know, but I would have got the treatment done if the lady had recommended it. She didn’t because Em doesn’t have a bottle to go to bed or a bottle at all actually. She doesn’t drink juice ever or snack all day. She gets her teeth brushed at least once a day, but we are working on twice. She doesn’t breast feed in the middle of the night. AND she can say “Bwush ya teeth!”. She even said it to the Lady. Tooth 5 is in ad 6 is almost through. Praise the Lord!
Then I went for a walk with Kris and Lana, looked around a toy store and bought Emily her very first Robert Munsch Book. I plan on her having the whole set of Robert Munsch books because I loved them so much as a kid. I bought her my all time favorite one. The Paper Bag Princess. I love it. I think Ill make her read it over and over and over again. Then we got blizzards. I felt sick after a few bites, but ate the whole thing anyways. Whats wrong with me? Chocolate is evil. Then we visited Kim. Emily proceeded to eat rocks and dirt and scrape her knees twice. We have got to get a yard for her to play in. Then maybe she wont be such a monkey outside. Then we saw Karen and Brian’s new house. They are from our prenatal group. I expected Em to have a big melt down by this point, but she managed to play nicely with Promise and Rain. A couple of handfuls of dog food ingested later and we walked home for an early dinner.
Spending the rest of the evening freaking out was really fun. I was supposed to be at church, but things didn’t work out with a babysitter and I didn’t want to dump Em on anyone else last minute. Good thing too because she was, in her words “Gwumpy girl”.
Now it’s the end of a very long day and I’m trying to unwind.I’m going to do a Thursday Thirteen just for fun and probably read a book until Morgan gets off work. Gnight. Oh and I Edited Emily’s Page.
