Today while Jacob was having lunch with his Nan before school, Melissa, Violet and I headed out to get some lunch for ourselves and do a bit of shopping. Today Violet insisted on sitting on chair like mommy and daddy, so we pushed the high chair away and set her up at the table. It was just another moment of Violet showing me how she’s growing up. The day was filled with them, from her wearing underwear out and going to pee on the toilet. Of course however old she gets she’ll always be my baby girl.
Today after work I Picked up my race kit for my very first official race The Harry Rosen Spring Run-Off. It’s very exciting, I just wish I didn’t have to wait two sleeps for Race Day. Stay tuned for more running posts over the next couple of days.
Tonight’s picture is me… an early Looking in the Mirror post. I’m hoping to have something special to take a picture of tomorrow night.
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 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.
