Extra help

I drove my mom to her eye appointment but they were running behind and I wouldn't have been able to pick up Chloe on time if I stayed for the whole appointment. Luckily my sister was able to come and pick up my mom and bring her home safely.

Annual passes

We had a rough day at Disneyland today. I'm very thankful that we have annual passes so I didn't have to feel bad when we left after 4 hours.

Good days

Today felt like a really good day. Other than the slight stomach ache I had earlier, lots of good things happened today.

Unroll me

I love this website and this service. Their ad space isn't annoying either.

short days

6 hours of work sounds like a long time but when you start early and finish early it feels relatively short.

Quality time with Ryan

For one reason or another I feel like it's hard to find quality time to spend with Ryan. Today I brought him to Kids Love Play indoor playground and it was so much fun just hanging out with him. I'm amazed each day when I watch my kids grow and play but some days are just extra special.

Honesty

Open honest communication. Then time to think and collect your thoughts.

Chloes singing

Chloe loves to make up songs or make up words to different songs. It's so fun to hear what she's going to say and see how she puts her surroundings into her songs.

Half fails

Throughout the day I felt like I kept failing but in retrospect they were just small half fails. Nothing so big that my day was ruined but annoying nonetheless. It still gives me perspective in thinking about the good things that happened to be today.

My mom

We spent the afternoon at my moms house. We brought the kids to the park and let them run around for 2 hours. I'm so lucky that my mom is so awesome.

Yeh-yeh

I can't express enough how thankful I am for Alex's dad. He is Ryan's primary caregiver during the week and even at night. This morning Ryan woke up around 5am but he was able to get him to go back to sleep (I think).

Jungle gym

We use the jungle gym that Alex bought for the backyard almost every day. It was a great investment!

Playing together

After dinner Chloe and Ryan were reading books together. Eventually Chloe was 'reading' the book to Ryan and he would push the button or find the picture she was asking about. I'm so glad they're finally playing together in a real way!
