Today while waiting for Jacob after school, Violet met a new friend. She met her shadow. It was very cute to watch her chase after it. Of course I wouldn’t have been able to see it if Melissa hadn’t take along our flip camera and captured the moment.
I snapped this picture before heading out the door for work. My Little girl sitting on her potty watching Dora on Netflix. It’s amazing how quickly she has gone from diapers to the potty. Sure we still have accidents, but they are fewer and fewer. I’m in awe of how patient Melissa has been with our little girl, I’ve spent more of the training days at work than at home so I’ve missed most of the accidents. Even Jacob has been a great help.
Today the kids help me fix Mommies Laptop table. To be fair fix is a strong word. We were just tightening up some of the screws to make it more stable. Still it was great to have the help.
Today after dinner Jacob and I headed out for a little treat. First for Ice Cream at McDonald’s the to chapters to look at books and play with the train set. It was a nice time with just the boys.
Today we found ourselves at Urgent Care again, this time for Jacob. It seems out little guy has another Ear Infection. Thankfully we didn’t have long to wait.
Today we started Potty training our little girl. Once again Melissa will bear the brunt of the challenge with the potty, as she’s on holiday next week. Today was a mixed bag, one pee on the floor, one pee in the potty. It’s a start, we’ll see how the rest of the week goes.
Today we said good-bye to Melissa’s Aunt Debbie. It was a hard day, but there was lots of family and friends to help remember and celebrate her life. It seems another night sleep hasn’t helped me to find the words any easier. All I can say is that in the short time that I knew her Debbie touched my life in a great way and it’s very sad to think that she will know longer be there. She will be missed.
Today we had visitations for Melissa’s Aunt Debbie, It was a long day and I can’t seem to find the words to express the emotions of the day. Of course tomorrow will be another day filled with more emotions. I’ll try again to find the words, but as I realised when I was talking to Jacob about tomorrow before bed I’m not very good at this. I do want Melissa, Lynn, Jimmy and all of Aunt Debbie’s Children and Grand-children to know that my heart goes out to them and I wish there was more I could do during this hard time.
It seems that life is conspiring to keep my from my blog. There are a number of tweaks and new posts I have been planning that I just can’t seem to get done. To be fair my blog has been the last thing on my mind the last few days, on one level it seems so unimportant when considering some of the things going on with my family. Tonight added a new wrinkle with Melissa spending the evening in urgent care because of a persistent cough. Our picture is a testiment to her wait. When she came in she pull number 50 and the counter was in the low 30s. All should be alright, though as I write this we’re still waiting for the final word from the doctors.
Update: It seems Melissa has Pneumonia, so its off to the drug store to fill her 4 prescriptions.
With today being the first day of spring it seemed only fitting to fire up the BBQ and enjoy some burgers. Of course first it there was a trip to Costco to get Propane and Burgers.
