First, I'm trying to keep my African Violet plant from my Great-Grandma Bangert alive. It just had some flowers, but now it is looking a little iffy. I had been counting on my mom to keep hers alive just in case mine didn't survive, but I guess hers is looking iffy too! Help me remember to water it if you talk to me in these next few weeks!
I am beginning to wonder if Caedon is safe at home with Chase. Joking!! However, this last weekend I came home and Caedon had scratches all over his face. Apparently they had been playing outside with friends and Caedon was pushing a shovel which got caught up on something and he fell over it. He still has a couple of scabs on his forehead and one on his nose. THEN, last night I guess Chase accidentally shut Caedon's left hand in the bedroom door! His ring finger and pinky are really red today, poor little guy! Chase feels REALLY bad :( Speaking of his scabs, the one on his nose just came off and now he is bleeding again!
I ended up working 9 days straight, ay yi yi! Too much for me, that's for sure! And then had Monday off, and then back to work Tuesday and beyond. Let me tell you, when you have worked a lot of days in a row, one day off is NOT enough!! But Chase is looking forward to my overtime pay. I could care less. So anyway, after working 3 weekends in a row and barely seeing each other, we decided not to go home for Easter. We are exhausted and just want to relax at home! I feel bad about not seeing my family for the holiday, but I'm sure they will understand! My sister works until 7 Easter morning, so I asked her and her fiance Nick to stop by after to read some scripture with us and do a quick egg hunt with Caedon. I'm so looking forward to that! Then she will be so tired from her shift, she will have to go home and sleep!
I just took a break from typing to read Caedon some stories. This is what story time looks like: I start one book, he goes to get another. I read two pages of it, and he goes to get another book. I open the front cover page of it, and he wriggles out of my arms yet again to get the orignal book. We never finish a book (this has been going on for at least a month). Oh well, I know reading is so important, so I'm not going to give up! Caedon has his favorite books, and even his favorite pages in those books. There is one book called "Never to Little to Love" with a little mouse and giraffe that love each other, but the size difference is too big for them to smooch each other! Caedon will flip and flip through the pages until he gets to the page where the giraffe pop-out comes out to kiss the little mouse and then he will finally stop and give a bunch of giggles. Then he turns one page and comes back to the pop-out to laugh, again and again playing peek-a-boo with the giraffe. He also loves another pop-out book called "Maisy's Nature Walk." In this book, he has destroyed almost all the pop-outs. We have fixed some with glue, but I've pretty much given up on this book being perfect! Oh well!
Megan came over Monday on my day off...it was so fun to hang with her! She caught Caedon eating a crayon twice. Then Chase and I had to brush the blue out of his teeth! Apparently he was making a face while chewing on it like he didn't like the crayon taste, but he kept chewing away anyway! We have lost our camera (probably hiding somewhere around here) so we didn't get any good pics of his colored teeth for evidence later on. Meg brought over her stuff for wedding invitations....they are going to be SOOOO CUTE!! She did a great job picking out the materials and I can't wait to help her put them together :) We also talked about when to have her bridal shower with friends...can't wait for that either! We made one-pot spaghetti for supper and then laughed to ourselves about why I gave Caedon a bath before supper - spaghetti everywhere!!!!!! Speaking of baths, Caedon keeps standing up int he bathtub. I usually say, "SIT DOWN" and he will sit down, but on Monday he wouldn't listen to me so he had to get out!
Tonight Caedon will have a babysitter (nurse Brittany). I have to work and Chase is going to a "meet-the-new-residents dinner." Our house has amazingly stayed clean for a few days! Chase and I divided up the tasks that need to be done each night: he will clean the living room and highchair and I will clean the sippy cup for the day, empty/fill/run the dishwasher, and clean the counters. So far it has been working well!
The other night we had Meg, Nick, and our neighbors the Kibblers over for the Bulls playoff game. The Kibblers have a little girl that Caedon enjoyed playing with during the game. It was fun to watch them learn to share with each other....most of the time they did not like to share! I ended up staying up for the whole game even though I was really tired!
Saturday night after work we watched the movie Due Date with our friends the Kopps (while watching the kids) and Sunday after work I watched a couple of Grey's Anatomy episodes with my friend Megan Kane. It's so nice to have close friends around for a quick get together! Oh yea, our neighbors the Barnes family just announced they have baby #4 coming on Thanksgiving Day! Exciting! Sunday before work, we got to see our friends Katie and Gavin Burgess and baby Owen (14 months) from back home. We drove to their hotel and went swimming from 8-9a. It was a short but fun visit! Caedon was kind of worried about the cold water, but it was still fun anyway!! Owen was very active, and super cute! I can't wait to get to know him better!!
A few more Caedon things:
1. He is getting good about pointing out his elbow and knee!
2. He also likes to hold his hands upward in the air (like shrugging and saying "I don't know") when asked where something is. He also does this when something is "all gone."
3.This morning he woke up at 5am...BOOO!!!!!!!! Makes for a long day when I don't get home until 11p!
All for now I guess....time to think about lunch time and getting ready for work!
