Feel the Rain on Your Skin, No One Else Can Feel it For You…
Hello, hello again. As of yesterday Aiden started to cut one of his top back teeth. I have been calling it a molar but I don’t really know the specific name for it. That brings the grand total to 8 teeth. He has the top four, three on the bottom, and the molar that has started to cut through. His molar, unlike the other teeth, is giving him a bit more trouble. Out of the blue sweet Aiden will start to fuss and put his hand up to his mouth. Brandon thinks perhaps the tooth will throb from time to time.
Anyway, I haven’t felt up to much this week. I don’t really know why. Things have been pretty mellow around here. Maybe I just need to get more active and eat more healthy and I will feel better. We did do several fun things this week though. We bought Aiden and little plastic pool and some sand on Monday. Which he has played in a little bit but not as much as we’d hope because of the rain. That same day he learned to climb up onto our bed as well. Now we are really in trouble. ;p
Tuesday morning Aiden and I went to playgroup.
Wednesday evening was 31 cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins. We got nine scoops total (Brandon and I each ate one of Aiden’s scoops.) As you can see from the photos below Aiden really enjoyed this delicious family tradition.
Thursday evening we went to hung out with my cousin and his wife. Aiden had a lot of fun playing with Elise and they got along pretty well. We made homemade pizza and had a tasty dessert of Oreo’s and chocolate brownie ice cream. Thanks for having us over guys! It was nice to enjoy some adult company for a change!
Friday evening Brandon went with a couple of his friends to see Wolverine. I wasn’t really too interested in seeing it so I told Brandon to just go with his buddies. I went over to my friend Richelle’s where Aiden played with her two girls and she introduced me to a show called Monk. It is on cable so I won’t be able to watch it but I think that it is a very clever plot idea. We also ate some popcorn which Aiden literally snarfed/inhaled. You’d think we starve him or something (which we do not) I guess it is just because he is a boy. 😉 I also had a regular old check up at the doctors so that we could put the PCN medicaid that is about to expire to use at least once. They told me my BMI falls into the “overweight” category (it is a 27 and I should be between 20-25). That made me feel real good. (NOT!) I have resolved once again to try and be more healthy. If I lose weight in the process great, but I am not going to be active for the purpose of losing weight because it depresses me. My main problem I think is my addiction to sweets. I have a very big (I mean HUGE) sweet tooth. If I could cut back on that and then just be more active in general (like maybe take my child for walks every day) then I bet I would be healthier. I just have this thing about excercise, I hate it. Maybe it stems from my having asthma, or maybe it is because it is time consuming, or maybe because you have to work through the pain, and weakness until you are strong. Which seems ridiculous and silly to me. Why put yourself through all of that unneccessary pain? Anyway, if anyone know of any inexpensive water aerobics classes, or an instructor, please let me know.
Saturday evening we had our first family movie night. Aiden actually sat for about 30 mins. with his little bowl of popcorn and his fruit roll up and watched The Tales of Devereaux with us. It was pretty cute. It is exciting to start having some official family traditions and activities. Well, I guess that is all. Until next week, thanks for reading…
