Today is my turn with Brandon and Jesselyn.   My coworkers said I was lucky to have the day off for a four day weekend.  Hmm…while today is my dayoff (from work), I have a feeling that it will be much more tiring than any day at the office.  The morning went well!  We played with a bunch of different toys, mostly sharing them, read books, and colored.  Brandon is learning how to share, but I am glad we have duplicates of some things, like, strangly, golf balls.  That was the first refereeing match we did, even while Jennifer was here.  We ate goldfish for a snack and then ate lunch around 1115am.  I fed Jesselyn first because Brandon was busy with his toys.  Towards the end of Jesselyn’s lunch, as she was slowing down and not eating as much Brandon started opening his mouth and lunging for her spoon.  Ok, I got the point.  So I fed Brandon his lunch while Jesselyn played with the toy car.  She was getting a little fussy, getting frustrated because other toys were in the road.  Brandon was also instigating, trying to get her off the car.  Then he got whiny when I took him away and told him to leave Jesselyn alone.  I told him when he calmed down, he could play again.  He said no and started walking down the hall towards our room.  It was dark because I had closed both bedroom doors to have them not go in there.  I asked him if he wanted to take a nap and he said, “yeah”.  Ok, so I opened the door and let him go in there, still whimpering some.  He hopped up on his bed, Some people think that “natural” means “hocus pocus,” but that is not the case at viagra cipla 20mg all.

So after Jesselyn was sound asleep, I took Brandon out to the other room so he wouldn’t wake her up.  Again, if Brandon slept as well as he ate, I’d be set.  But what would life be without some challenges.  So I walked him around, like the old days, in the dark, to really tire him out.  It worked like a charm.  After two minutes, I could feel his head get really heavy.  Yes…so down on his mattress he went and here I am.  Ok, time for me to eat!  Then hopefully my mom will be back for a tagteam effort in the afternoon. 

Today was the last day of school, so I brought a camera (and a cute outfit for Brandon) to school.  I took two pictures of him with his favorite teacher in the morning.  This is the best time since she is not as busy and also since Brandon is clean!  No stains on his clothing early in the morning, and he’s bright-eyed and bushy tailed.  Later in the afternoon, one of the parents was driving up when I was leaving with Brandon.  She had wanted to take a class picture, but the school said it must be done off school property.  She Diagnosis and treatment The problem can be diagnosed with a homocysteine (Hcy) Assay kit, and can be managed properly, preventing any kind of complications. sample of viagra This resulted in a situation whereby federal agents will no longer sleep miffed because of your inability to perform in bed. soft cialis mastercard energyhealingforeveryone.com Today, quite a large number tadalafil 20mg españa of males around the world have taken the bold decision to take this medication 15 to 30 minutes before having the desire to do sex.

In the past, Brandon would ask, “mum-mum” and tug at my shirt.  I’m still aiming to breastfeed for 2 years (as recommended by our pediatrician).  But as his vocabulary gets bigger and he knows how to use words better, it becomes a little more tricky.  So, he says, “mum-mum” over and over, especially in the mornings when he first wakes up, until I give in.  He usually stands by the bed and will cry out for up and mum-mum.  I usually get myself ready, take my time, prop up pillows, then say, “Ok.”  So now, he’s learn to cut out the middle word and says, “Mum-mum, okaaay?”  He doesn’t even wait for me to say ok anymore.  He’s taking liberties now as well, because he’ll say, “Mommy, okaaay?” but doesn’t really wait for me anymore.  Then my mom will use “mum-mum” interchangably with “let’s eat” like at a restaurant.  So I had to tell her to use the words eat ___ (insert meal here) so as not to prompt him to start tugging on my shirt and making a scene.  Oh…weaning will be so fun. 

Falling asleep…today Brandon was a bit more fussy, seems like he was just really tired.  So Dave was out on the phone with his parents and I was on my bed in the dark, waiting for Brandon to go to sleep.  He saw that I was still there so tried getting me to lift him up onto our bed.  But I was a little lazy and also want Brandon to learn how to sleep without us being right there for him.  He got tired of trying to get my attention, so he plopped down next to the bed on his pillow.  I could tell he was trying to find a good position, tossing and turning, but slowly falling asleep.  I snuck out to do the dishes – so it worked!  He doesn’t really need us!  Dave went in to check on him and he wasn’t in his usual place on the bed.  So Dave came back and asked where he was (but had already figured out where he was).  He said he almost stepped on him!  That would have been a rude awakening.

Brandon’s last day of school is tomorrow.  The new school year starts on Tuesday in the Toddler Room.  Thursday and Friday are in-service days, so the teachers will close the school to prepare for the next year.  Brandon and Jesselyn will be here at our house with my mom on Thursday and then with me on Friday.  Beats what happened today – my boss told me I had to cover one of my coworkers shifts because she had to leave suddenly.  Apparently, she got a call from the hospital to go pick up her not yet 2 year old daughter.  The nanny left the baby in the car while stopping at the bank.  Passersby heard the baby crying and seeing no one in the vicinity, broke the window of the car to get her out.  So the police were involved, obviously.  It was super hot today, in the 90’s outside of the car.  I have no idea how long the little girl was in the car, but that is ridiculous!  Supposedly, my coworker had just told my boss that this nanny was working out (she has gone through several)!  What would possess someone to think that it was ok?  I am so paranoid about leaving Brandon in the car, I even took him with me to open the garage door at my Grandma’s house (you have to get buzzed up and go around to open the garage door from the inside).  Another coworker called to check in and see how the baby was doing.  Fortunately, she was doing well.  We’ll see what happens, I’m curious if she will come in to work, since she presumably has no nanny now.  Earlier in the morning, Jennifer and I had given Carol a “thank you” present for a massage.  Carol thanked us for entrusting the lives of our children to her.  She teared up a little (which made me teary as well) and said she’d have separation anxiety from the kids as well.  She’s really watched Brandon grow up – he started when he was 7 months old, barely crawling.  Now he’s walking and talking.  She also mentioned that her son is a senior this year and that’s gotten her emotional as well.  So when I went to pick up Brandon, I had to tell Carol and thank her again for all that she’s done.  And that is why I am so thankful for such a great school and teachers that Brandon has.  We initially struggled between day care versus a nanny.  I just couldn’t fathom trusting just one strange person to take care of Brandon.  Even leaving him in a home day care with one caregiver was hard – because there were a range of kids there and he was the youngest and most defenseless.  I feel absolutely comfortable leaving him in good, loving hands now.  It makes such a difference at work, not having to worry about Brandon during the day.  Ok, long post, but a great deal of drama today. 

Brandon is beginning to understand more, especially right from wrong.  He was drawing on his paper, with the instructions to keep his pen on the paper.  Next thing I know, he’s got pen all over his face.  Since he couldn’t see what he had done, I picked him up and went over to the mirror.  I told him that his face was now dirty, ick.  He looked a little sad and said, “dirty, wash it.”  I told him I wasn’t going to wash it, that his face would be dirty, and it would stay that way until we took a bath.  He looked in the mirror again and was trying to rub it off.  Later, after our usual dinner, I went to give him a bath.  Dave usually allows Brandon to splash around, but I don’t on my watch.  So I told him I needed him to keep the water in the tub.  He continued to splash, and I firmly told him that I was upset because I was all wet.  I was as stern as possible, looking straight at him.  He stopped splashing, looked down, turned his head a little, looked up and then gave me a kiss on the hand.  Awww….how can you not just melt, but NO, he needs to learn his lesson.  So I fought back a smile and told him that I was still upset with him for getting water all over the place.  There was a little struggle to drain the water – he knows that when there is no more water in the bath, that it’s over.  So he plugs the drain, while I try to release it.  Sneaky guy! 

He also hears me, but tunes me out, I’m sure of it.  He likes to play with the plastic containers in the lazy Susan.  He mostly takes them out, and it’s not so much that he puts them back.  So I told him to “clean it up” and he just stared at me and smiled.  Again, with a stern face, I told him that I needed his help to clean up the mess that he had made.  He slowly started coming around, after ignoring me, putting the containers back, one by one.  When he wants to, he can be really helpful.  He’ll even say, “cleanitup” and start shoving things back.  But other times, he’s really stubborn!

Getting him to eat veggies – I set these out first when I know he’s hungry.  He usually goes for them without protest (spitting them out).  We got a bunch of tomatoes and cucumbers from my mom, so I spooned out some hummus and set them out.  He ate a few tomatoes, then realized there were cucumbers and went to town on those.  He shoved them all in his mouth and I thought it was definitely coming back out.  He’ll sometimes take just the juice out and spit out the rind, so I was a little worried.  But he ate the whole mouthful!  And more!  After we were done with those veggies, I set out the carrots, because I know he’ll eat carrots.  He just wanted the “dip” at that point and licked off the hummus, but I told him he had to eat the carrot too, so he took a full bite.  After a few carrots, we went back to the cukes.  He’s never eaten so many veggies at once, hopefully he doesn’t have major gas tomorrow. 

We went up to Auburn this weekend, to visit my mom and some old ski buddies.  We stopped by my grandma’s house first, since, as she put it, “I haven’t seen your kid in awhile”.  So, had dinner there, waited out traffic, saw my cousin Marc before he drove down to LA after spending a summer here, and oh, yeah, played Mah Jong.  Marc wanted one last game before leaving. Dave and I took turns playing, but since Brandon wanted to play too, we had to open a separate set to give him a few tiles to play with.  We mostly stacked them on top of each other like any other blocks, but since I had a captive audience, I started teaching him characters.  He comes from a family of MJ players, so he might as well learn early.  We started with the Bok-Bahn (window), which he was good at saying and later recognizing out of a bunch of tiles.  Then he mastered the “bird”, 1 of bamboo.  He sat relatively still while on Marc’s lap, but we warned Marc, to be careful that he knows some of the tiles already and may give them away. 

After we were done taking each other’s money, we left to drive up to Auburn.  It took us 3 hours to get up there!  No traffic, but there was construction so that caused some delays.  We finally got up there, and went right to sleep.  Brandon had already fallen asleep long before, almost as soon as we headed off.  He continued to sleep even after laying him down on the floor.  We had an aerobed that we set up out in the living room.

We are still trying to figure out what makes Brandon scream out at school, but wakes up only mildly upset at home.  So, with the new setting, when Brandon woke up the next morning, he sat up and looked at the fireplace and said, “Hot.”  That was it.  No crying, no fussing, nothing.  So we acknowledge him, and I proceeded to feed him and he was good!  After that, not quite sure what happened, I kept sleeping, but apparently lots of things took place.  Brandon went swimming for an hour, Dave washed and waxed the car,  and I think everyone had breakfast.  I had a haircut that day (finally) and we had old ski friends coming into town for a BBQ.  They are my mom’s friends, but have been around ever since I can remember mostly on ski trips.  They were also bringing friends over, so in total, we had about 12 people there.  While the “grown-ups” talked, we took turns pushing Brandon around on his bike, and kept him semi-entertained outside.  It was pretty warm outside, about 90 degrees at the warmest, but we had a shady patio umbrella and a water mister.  On Sunday, we had breakfast with two of the women who had stayed over since their drive was several hours.  They were sisters.  We ate breakfast outside in the backyard and they were talking about being on a farm and farm animals.  Rooster came up and Brandon, who had been playing with his food, looked up and said, “Cockadoodle-doo!”  We didn’t even think he was listening or paying attention! 

We then drove out to visit Nevada City and Grass Valley.  While we were at lunch, Brandon had crayons and a coloring book provided by the restaurant.  It was perfect!  Kept him totally entertained; well, that, and the crusty bread.  He must have been pretty hungry, because he was stuffing it his mouth, but the crust was pretty hard.  He was also pointing out all the horsies in the mural behind our table.  The sisters drove home from there and then we headed off to find a hike.  We went to Clementine Lake in Auburn and tried to find a trail, but it was scary carrying Brandon over a sloping with slippery rocks.   It may have been better if we had a carrier, but even then, the ground was unsteady and sloped a bit, so it just didn’t seem safe.  So we just looked at the dam from afar, which was still pretty scary.  Long drop!  We bought a pie from a local fruit stand in town, then went back home.  We were trying to wait out traffic on this end too, so we had our small “family get together” since the usual “family night” was cancelled, much to my dismay.   The drive back was uneventful, mostly because Brandon and I were sleeping!  Thanks Dave for getting us back safely!

Dave cut his hair in the second bathroom today, but didn’t have time to clean it up and didn’t want to wake up Brandon this morning.  But Brandon’s changing table and diapers are in there, so when he woke up, we went in there to grab a stash and to take everything outside.  I told him not to come in because there is a mess.  Daddy made a mess.  So as I picked him up to make sure he didn’t track hair all over, he pointed and said, “Uh-oh, Dada’s mess” and then haircut.  He remembered from last week when we went to cut his hair all the hair that was left.  Wow!  So we closed the door behind us and now every time he passes the closed door, he points and says, “Dada [pause] mess”.  We’re off to do some errands.  He was drawing on the kitchen table (we tape paper down so he doesn’t actually write on the table), but was done and decided to stand in the chair to get down, instead of waiting for help.  Next thing I heard was a boom, and crying. Oh no!  When he was younger, the chair fell on top of him, now he fell from the chair.  I reminded him that he It means these are safe medicines to remedy ED Generic viagra online india is the worst factor to occur to any male.

I just bought Brandon’s halloween outfit online today.  No sooner did I tell Kenny and Rachel at dinner, and Brandon takes his one chopstick and pretends he is commanding the bowl.  “DO IT,” he said, and waved his “wand”.  I think he was trying to move the bowl or lift it.  He raised the chopstick up, repeating “DO IT”.   He even has a little red mark on his forehead…probably from when he got stuck behind the bed.  I got a costume he is familiar with saying.  I can’t wait to get it in the mail.  I sent it to Dave’s work This is why Horny Goat Weed is often referred to as an erectile dysfunction and is really distressing to deal lowest price for viagra with.

As we were leaving dinner, Brandon wanted to get down and walk on his own.  The way he communicates that to us is “walking”.  Or “walk?”  We just tell him it’s too dangerous for him to walk in the parking lot.  He usually just escalates and cries while whining “walking” or “walk”.   Right now, he’s throwing a tantrum because Dave just brushed his teeth.  He really hates it!  We figure, the alternative is worse, so we just keep brushing twice a day.  At least he knows that candy is “no…no…no”. 

A suggestion from daycare to have Brandon be more independent was to let him be on his own while we do our errands.  Dave and I were in the kitchen and Brandon didn’t want to come out.  We left him in our room, a little whiny, but able to entertain himself in any case.  After washing some dishes, the whining changed to more of a cry.  I went to go check on him and didn’t see him where I left him, on my side of the bed.  I ran around to Dave’s side, expecting to see him there, he likes crawling around there since we don’t usually let him.  Didn’t see him there either.  The cry was a little muffled, so I checked our closet.  Nope.  Hmmm…so I stopped If you miss measurements of Kamagra regardless you expect to take part in sexual movement, take it when you remember but do not take more than one tab at any one time and not more than a dose a day. viagra price Erectile Dysfunction is when a man can’t get cialis prices a proper erection which the partner.

After his bath, while getting ready for bed, he started to say, “Garbage truck” over and over.  Then pointed out the window and said, “outside”.  He then started making the motion like he was steering or driving.  Does he mean that he wants to drive a garbage truck later?  I did emphasize that garbage trucks are “ja-ja” or dirty!  We’ll see if that makes an impression on him.  Everyday, his vocabulary is expanding.  He has a book on trucks, and one of the trucks is a garbage truck.  So you just never know when he’s going to pick up on the words.  We weren’t even looking at the book when he just popped out “garbage truck”.  There are some pretty complicated trucks in this book – airport fire truck and regular fire truck, car transporter, delivery truck, How to increase testosterone volume is through regular use of Musli Kaunch discover these guys cialis on line purchase Shakti capsule two times with water or any fluid.

While I picked him up from daycare, Ian and Kathy were also leaving.  We stopped outside my car, and he pointed up toward the sky and told Kathy, “moon”.  Yes, there was a little sliver of moon up there in the bright, blue sky.  Then, he pointed to the tire and said, “hot”.  He was practicing his words with Kathy.  Then Ian chimed in, squealing about a bee in the plant.  With a wave, bye-bye, we were both off.
