It's Flu Shot Season!

Get your flu shot instead of the flu!

Potty Charts are Dumb

I'm not sure why potty charts exist.  Maybe to make me think I have some say in the matter.  Lydia has had a potty chart up since she turned 3.  She's gotten many sticker and a few rewards over the past 2.5 months.  Nothing is clicking with her though.  Perhaps she's being stubborn but prefer to think she's just not ready.  She's been on a bit of a delayed schedule with everything she's been through and maybe this is another part of that.  My hope is that she's potty trained by 3.5 years old.  That would be an awesome birthday and Christmas for me!

Anyway.  So far on the potty chart she has earned a new movie, a new toy, a sleepover at Mama & Papa's house, and a trip to Deanna Rose Farmstead.  We went this Saturday morning and she is still the same goat whisperer from last summer.  She does not let them take control, she controls the goat.  Lydia grabs their face and pushes the goat away as she determines the milk limits of each goat she feeds and pushes on to the next lucky goat.  

Duck, Duck, Duck, GERMS!

Friday = cranky

Overnight = no one slept

Saturday = fever

Overnight = family slumber party

Sunday = on the mend

Monday = almost back to normal

When Lydia has a cold she stays home wearing an oversize t-shirt and no pants.  

Same thing any of us would do, right?

Lydia is well and at preschool.  Mom is congested and at work. Germs.

Singin' in the Rain!

Rain Rain Go Away!

It's raining!  It's pouring!

Preschooler Lydia

Lydia Rose began preschool in the Zebra Classroom 2 weeks ago.  She had a little separation anxiety in the mornings but is having a really fun time.  She full of songs and stories when we pick her up!

Our own little Shawn Johnson.

We have officially completed Tiny Tots Gymnastics, going to many more sessions this year than last.   Last year when we tried gym Lydia loved it but there were a bunch of snotty faces and coughs in that class.  Lydia was preparing for her decannulation and I wasn't about to get her sick, so we missed a lot.  This year we switched from Saturdays to Thursdays so Mama could take her, Grandmas are super dependable so she went way more often.  Lydia will start another session in a couple of weeks.

Lydia's New Routine

We think that Lydia has adequately slept it off, her tonsillectomy.  She's almost back to 100% normal sleeping habits.  She's semi-close to being back to 100% normal eating habits.  She's definitely back to normal play habits.  She says she's ready to go to pre-school so she can go to high school next.
