August 10 ~ Breslin started back at Sunshine. This year he is in Pre-K. No tears his entire first week back! Just as his shirt says, he was telling me the entire way to school on his first day how he was going to "be brave" and be really nice to his new friends.
August 11 ~ Jenison (who also started daycare yesterday... ) turned 2 months old... She continues to gain weight, and just as her brother was, she is a big girl-- almost 12 lbs, which puts her in 3-6 month clothing! She is no longer her "yellow" self... as the jaundice levels continue to go down, and she did absolutely fabulous getting her three shots at the doctors, barely any crying! She sleeps anywhere from 5-7 hours straight in the night before needing her first feed, and she is laughing and smiling and cooing whenever she gets the chance!
August 12 ~ Breslin had his first filling ever at the dentist. And he did GREAT. As a reward he got to pick wherever he wanted to go for lunch afterwards, and of course, he chose Chuck E. Cheese. (He needs two more over the next couple of months because we didn't want to put him under, he just gets numbing on his mouth).
Still August 12 (the night before the first day of school with students) ~ Call us crazy-- but we (Holly & Jeff, Karen & Jack, Mitzi & the boys, and me) went to the Ventura County Fair to go see the Band Perry. It was $12 entry into the fair and the concert was free. Thanks to Mitzi and the Carey's, they got us a nice spot for us in the pit (about 5-10 rows back). You can see how close we actually were to them. Even though we did it on a school night (and we were all teachers, and not just any school night, the night before the first day) it was totally worth it and so much fun. I give major kudos to Brady who kept encouraging me to go over and over again while he put two kiddos to bed for the first time by himself-- and one that is used to nursing before bed, but got a bottle instead!
August 15 ~ the power went out at 7:20 am and it was about to be a 100 degree plus day, so out to the pool we went. Jenison put on a swim diaper (that was WAY to big I might add) and actually got in the pool to cool off. And then when we couldn't take the heat anymore we headed over to Aunties-- while some of us were flirting and giving smiles to Auntie, others were taking a well needed nap!
And that is our week in a nutshell!
