- We went to the Maumee Library for our first music and reading class. Afterwards we stayed and played puzzles for a long time. Before leaving, William chose two books AND signed up for the summer reading program. He even won a fortune cookie, a milkshake coupon, and a ticket to the BG/UT game for reading over one hour since the beginning of June. I think he's going to LOVE this summer reading program.
- Registered him for "Kids in the Kitchen" on Thursday mornings during the summer YMCA session. I'm excited because my friend Joy's son will be in the same class with him.
- Registered him for Dino Camp in two weeks. The camps at 1 1/2 hours at the YMCA for five days. He is going to LOVE it. I also learned there is a Pirate camp... going to have to try that one too!
- Had him design a birthday card and envelope and pick the pictures we mailed to my brother Nate for his upcoming 30th birthday.
Landon
- The music and reading class is really for babies, so technically this course is more for him than William but they let William and other older siblings come along. The room was packed to the gills of waddling/toddling babies and their parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. I don't think the number of people in the room was technically within code, but it was so much fun and a pleasure to see all of the babies clap and dance to the music. We sang a couple of songs. The only one I remember right now is Twinkle, Twinkle.
- I searched online for first birthday party supplies and some blogs about nautical party themes. I found a new craft project I want to do for his party. :)
- Note: Today was the closest he has come to crawling. He was not only in the table top position, but he also moved about two paces. Maybe this is the weekend!
My Health
- I registered for a core class at the Y. This is monumental because I haven't signed up for a SINGLE CLASS since we joined. Neither has Dom. Sadly, I have never even worked out there and he has only done so a couple of times. So we've basically paid a monthly membership to send our kids to classes that we still have to pay for. Oh well, I support the Y. But now is the time to make my life change. I am in desperate need of losing weight. I have to gain energy, get back into some of my old clothes, and feel better about myself. My friend Traci works out every day. She has a system that works for her and the kids and I am going to join forces with her. It will be SO MUCH BETTER now that I have a reliability partner.
- Started this blog again, dammit! That should count for something.
My House
- Well this area wasn't my forte today, but I did put away a couple of baskets full of laundry. That shouldn't count though since it's a day to day task (like feeding/bathing/changing/cooking/showering/cleaning up after ourselves). So I guess I will just say this area suffered today, but I did search online for some organizational systems for our kitchen desk and drawers... with no luck.
- Oh yeah, I did search and narrow down some window treatment options for the den! See! I did accomplish something.
My Students/Career
- I read a lot of tweeted blogs today on the debate on the new common core standards and a good one on "unlearning".
- The Energy Bus is in the mail! Woop woop!
