Month: July 2012

Today, Dave went to work at his normal time. He had a few hours to work, so he left early. He was debating about riding or not, so either way, it would have been me with the kids. Brandon had some sentences to write this morning, so it was essentially a repeat of yesterday. Peyton always thinks she’s missing out when Brandon does worksheets, so she wants in, too. When Brandon calmed down, he worked on his sheets with only minimal assistance. Dave came home at 11 am, after I’d given them snacks and while Brandon was working on sheets. I took Peyton with me to Costco. I had just been on Friday, but I wanted more blueberries and oatmeal. We had a list with us, and she sat nicely helping to remind me what we needed. Since it was the weekend, it was pretty crowded. She did okay except she kept telling me she was hungry and wanted to know what Daddy had for lunch 😉 We walked around some honey samples, and I told her no several times. Finally, since it was taking a long time for me to find what I was looking for (baking soda was hiding!), I grabbed her one. After the first bite, she said, “Uh-oh.” I looked at her, and she’d gotten it all down the front of her sweater. I took it away, without resistance, and she continued to suck on the spoon. And her button. Ick. It was sticky. She’d already eaten pulled pork (she said, “mmm, this is sweet!”) and cheese (“Mommy, this cheese [gouda] is yummy!”). She didn’t get as many as Brandon since she wasn’t mobile, and it was too crowded.
We came home, ate lunch, and then she headed up for a nap. Dave headed out again for some foil since he’d run out making some ribs. Peyton woke up after only about 30 minutes. Dave came home, and Brandon was finally done. I hope he sees the light soon, otherwise he is going to be missing out! He earned a coupon yesterday for swimming, so he pulled a ticket to play two games with Daddy. He was supposed to play Operation, but Dave offered to play Battleship with him. Brandon jumped at the chance. I was making salads for dinner (to offset the ribs), and also lunch for tomorrow, while Peyton was half-watching TV, and half-watching the Battleship game. We ate an early dinner, and then went to the park for the kids to ride their bikes. Brandon took a couple of hard falls, but luckily, all his padding kept him safe. He broke a reflector on the bike, but otherwise, no other problems. He almost took me out on a fall, sliding on the slippery section joining two sections of asphalt. Peyton played a bit on the structure, while Brandon continued to ride. While hanging upside down, Peyton told me she wanted to count to 100. I started counting and she got to 30. Later, when Dave was there, she did it again. This is her attempt:
(I started counting faster to help her out, but it still wasn’t enough).

We came home, bathed, and then the kids were off to bed. They were asleep by 745pm, as I checked right before I left for the gym. We have a couples race next Sunday, and I want to be able to run with Dave 😉 We were able to tire them out quickly today!

Brandon’s been talking about playing Battleship with a friend at school.  But he also says he always loses.  So, after our homework this afternoon, and when Dave got home, we went to the store to get the classic version.  There are many fancy electronic versions, but I wanted the simplified old school version. We found one at the store, and luckily, it was in stock. Some were out because of the co-marketing with the movie that’s coming out, so it was making it difficult to find.  We came home after dinner to play. viagra 25 mg top pharmacy shop But the problem comes when people get furious with some inferior quality products which worsen their condition.

Brandon was getting his “hit” and “miss” mixed up, making the game difficult to play. Since Dave had been gone much of the day, I asked him to play Candyland with Peyton while Brandon and I played.  Soon, after their one game, Dave got bored, and put a movie in for Peyton.  She soon got bored and both came over to play with us.  Brandon needed a bit of supervision to make the game flow smoothly, and I took the opportunity to show Peyton how the grid works.  We played the first game, but had to scrap it because of the mistakes, and the second game, with some supervision (but not hints), Brandon beat me.  He was quite proud of himself, but I vow to get him the next time!

 

Dave had to leave for work after swimming.  Both kids had just showered up, and Peyton wanted to do her workbook. It worked out well since Brandon had gotten himself up to 70 sentences.  He has to learn he can’t talk back.  I offered him a way to reduce his sentences.  He was to do some math homework with me.  Homework isn’t supposed to be a punishment, but it certainly can be a reward!!  So, he’s doing 3 digit subtraction, including carrying numbers.  I even made some up to have him get more practice.  While we were working on it, Peyton was eating lunch.  We were talking about how 4 minus 5 (in the ones column) can’t happen, so you have to borrow 10 from the 10’s column.  Brandon stopped me and said, “Yes, you can take 5 away from 4. You just go negative.”  Touche, boy, touche.  He only received points when he was right, and did most of it by himself.  Halfway through his work, Peyton finished up lunch, and I sent her to her room to take a nap. She asked me if I was going with her, and I told her no.  She took her American Girl magazine up with her to her room. I went to check on her 15 minutes after she’d left.

She was quietly sitting up on her bed, reading.  It was only about 1215pm, which is early for her nap time at school, but since she’d swam, I figured she’d be a little more tired.  Brandon kept whittling down his sentences (he’s at 30 now).  I went to check again just now, and she is passed out asleep.  Brandon’s eager to do more work to reduce the number he’d have to write, especially since I’d made it a long sentence when I thought he just had 10 to do.  (He earned them for swinging his shirt around and whipping his sister with it; something that he’s been warned about many times as he’s done this in the past and hit her in the eye).

Today was the last day of our swimming session. We’d missed last week, so the first session went by quickly.  The big kids got to jump off the diving board.  The other two kids in Brandon’s class were a bit hesitant, but Brandon showed no fear.  Maybe because he’d done it last year, and the other kids didn’t. They were better swimmers but still a bit afraid of the first plunge.  By the end, the kids were doing cannonballs!  Peyton demonstrated to her class how to float on her back.  They also did a dead man’s float which she loves to do, especially unattended, which gets her into trouble with the instructor!  Their class got to jump off the wall, but I know she wanted to go to the deep end like the other kids. Brandon told her she was too small, and maybe next year.

Both kids have become more independent.  We were at YL and Peyton suddenly stood up.  She walked away from the table, and Dave said, “Hey, where are you going?”  She turned around, looked at him, then threw away her cup in the trash.  Dave said he’s so paranoid about Brandon just walking away randomly that he just thought Peyton would do the same.  And to think he thought she was up to no good.  Well, sometimes.  Yesterday, Brandon wanted some oatmeal for breakfast.  I wasn’t ready yet, so he said, “I will just do it myself.”  I went downstairs a few minutes later, and he was sitting nicely at his spot, with a bowl of dry oatmeal in front of The list also involves indigestion, eye pain, red eyes, fainting, nosebleeds, rash, low blood pressure and high blood pressure. sildenafil 100mg tab purchase generic cialis Fishes in the form of sardines, salmon, etc. are vital sources of Omega 3 fatty acids.

He simply asked me to boil him some hot water.  He was smart enough to not do that on his own. Finally, since we’ve been back from LA, every morning, between 630am and 715am (today), Peyton will climb up on the exercise ball on Dave’s side of the bed, climb over him, and entrench herself between the two of us.  Sometimes she’s not fully awake, and will quietly lay there. Other times, she flops around and is a pain.  But I love that she just does it all on her own.

Peyton’s Matterhorn/Radiator Racer/Splash Mountain face returned yesterday.  After lights out, she was calling for me, and she was headed downstairs to look for me.  I was putting clothes away in my room, and I intercepted her in the hallway, but almost blindsided, since she was focused going straight for the stairs. I firmly said, “Where are you going?” The scared face quickly flashed across her face at the sound of my voice.  She turned right back around, and went back into her room.  Funny that I can elicit the scared face with just my words.

Tonight, Peyton keeps coming out (whenever we go on vacation, it takes a You can levitra on line published here use these herbal aphrodisiac supplements without any fear of side effects.

I asked her how many steps she fell, and she said, “Like one, maybe.  Yeah, one.”  That means she rolled and tumbled the rest of the way.  Good thing we have a landing and she stopped rolling after about 6 steps.

So we did lots of work, then ate lunch. In my effort to get my exercise in today, despite being with child, I took Brandon to the park.  He got to pick the close one or the far one.   He chose the far one, so we set out on a brisk walk.  When we got to the park, we hung out on the swings (the reason to go to the far park), and then we had a good game of tag.  I was deemed “it”, so I tried hard to get him.  After about 5 minutes, and some work, I tagged him on the structure.  It was now my turn to run from him.  I managed to stay away from him, but not without some work.  After I declared a truce, we went back to the  swings. He earned 10 minutes extra at the park, so we stayed a bit longer after I had called “Time”.  We came home and grabbed the mail.  Brandon received a game in the mail from his school counselor.  We rushed right home and he showed me how to play it.  He’d played it with her before, and it was for 8 year olds on up.  It’s called “Sleeping Queens” and he was teaching me how to play.  I had the instructions open to follow along, but he did an adequate job of explaining the rules.  We played best 2 out of 3, and he got me.  The game involves some addition, and he was able to make equations with three numbers.  It was pretty fun!  I had him write a “Thank you” card to Ms Lorretta right away.

We went to get Peyton, and I told him that I’d spent all day with him, so it was her turn with me.  Brandon agreed.  He went to play by himself and watch a show while I worked with Peyton on her workbooks.  He did reasonably well, but Dave got home an hour later than normal, and Brandon was losing his ability to play by himself.  He came down to earn more points on his math, and was becoming a bit needier.  I sent him to take a bath just to kill time and give me more time with Peyton.  I gave Peyton hers, too.  Finally, Dave brought dinner home.  I found out that Brandon can do some addition in his head, and I’m even having to write and carry 10’s, while he can do it sometimes in his head.  I’m not sure how he does it since I told him as long as he’s consistent, he can do it the “unconventional” way.  I carry one’s to the 10’s column, but he chooses to add the ones, then adds the 10’s, then adds those together.  Jeff said it was okay to not have the kids add up numbers the old school way if the kids don’t see it that way.

Brandon got to stay up later tonight to play with Dave, and Peyton was sent upstairs early after brushing her teeth.  She was being naughty, and climbing on the outside of the stairs.  Suddenly, we heard a crash, and tumbling.  She must have fallen at least 4 stairs, and almost looked like she sommersaulted.  She’d tried it earlier today, and was lucky, as she caught herself from a slip, and was hanging onto the bannister by an arm.  I let her fail to learn a lesson, but apparently, she didn’t learn.  Maybe after this most recent fall, she will learn her lesson.  I’m resisting the urge to go check on her.  She just came out again to give me her rubber band in her hair (she doesn’t sleep with them in, but it was there for dinner).  She looks just fine.

Summer learning must take form of a game.
Before “playing”, we dropped Peyton off at school, headed to TJ’s for some groceries, then came home to put everything away. He had to work on some sentences first, as he was giving Peyton trouble this morning. He had to write 10 sentences on how to treat his sister.
To make workbook stuff interesting, I’ve turned Mommy School into points that are rewarded based on penmanship, correct answers, and effort. Brandon must put forward the best effort to turn those points into TV minutes. We have a bunch of DVR’d Ninjago episodes, and this totally motivates him to do well.

I’ve been working him out of his 1st grade spelling words and his 2nd grade workbook. Every time we change subjects, he’s asked for kale chips. So, he’s getting his dose of veggies in while he’s learning! Win-Win-Win, I say.

Brandon was telling us about an “Ian” in his class on Tuesday. Peyton suddenly whispered, “Kira.” I laughed because Ian and Kira are siblings, but I had to tell her that Brandon was talking about another Ian at his school. This prompted her to ask when we were going to visit Miss Kristina at her old school. She still remembers! I told Kathy today at work, and she said Kira still remembers Peyton, too. And that Peyton’s brother’s name is Brandon.
Brandon was telling us last night how there was an incident at school. There was a new boy at school who started trouble with the teachers, and even threw a chair at one of them (according to Brandon). He got a very serious face, too, and said that he was using “inappropriate language”. It was so bad, Brandon didn’t even want to repeat it. I’m glad I didn’t have to remind him; he kept it to himself on his own.
Peyton pointed to my chest and said, “Oh no, you have a lot of mosquito bites. Right there.” (They were pimples from the sunblock I used on my chest; I didn’t know how to respond, so I simply said, “Yeah, too bad, huh? I’m okay.”

This summer, Peyton is trying to spell everything. She will pick a word from a book, then spell it, then ask me what it is. She’s go “NO” and “YES” along with “GO” and a few others. Or, she will ask how to spell common objects, so along the way to school, we will spell “BUS”, “CAR”, “TREE”, and other random objects. I do try to sound them out for her, so she can practice her phonics, which she is already pretty good at. Sometimes I think she messes with me. If I say, “LL-ah” (for L), she will say, “Um, Z!” Uh, what? When I say, “No…” she will start to giggle. I hope she is messing with me and doesn’t have hearing problems!
Finally, today, Brandon’s CDC went up to the campsite where we were yesterday. The little kids joined the big kids for a day of camp fun. I asked him what he did and he told me, “We went on a creek walk, found two crawfish. I ate a hamburger and a hot dog, some apple juice, no soda though, and went in the pool, but it was too cold.” At dinner, he propped his head up on his arm, and slowly ate dinner. Dave started laughing at him, as he looked so pooped. Brandon sighed and said, “I’m exhausted.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard him use this before.  He sounded so adult!  Since he’d already taken a bath before dinner (since he was outside all day long), we just told him to go to bed after brushing his teeth. He barely finished dinner, and he dragged himself upstairs to bed. He was in bed by 715pm, and I left shortly after to go to the gym. I’m sure he didn’t last long. This camp thing is fantastic!! The teachers did tell Dave that he didn’t have soda, though you couldn’t tell by the way he was acting there – he was very active. He did have 100% apple juice, which was my consolation to him for not having soda. He must have thoroughly enjoyed himself today.

Monday, I brought Peyton’s schoolwork home. There were random homemade worksheets with shapes being matched to shapes, and upper case matching to lower case letters. I showed them to Dave, then he put them in the recycling bag we had by the trash can. Peyton was walking around the kitchen yesterday, and stopped in front of the bag. Few of the indications include things like: hemorrhaging after erectile act, lips dry skin, in india viagra for sale addition to discomfort while sporting intercourse, emergency having peeing in addition to pee bacterial infections.

That’s mine!” She took them out, and put them back on her spot at the table. Dave was home late last night, so I texted him what happened shortly after it occurred. He didn’t believe it and even asked me about it again after he got home. We’ll have to more stealthily recycle them in the future so as not to hurt her feelings.

Tonight, we rushed home with our respective kids and headed out to Brandon’s CDC’s BBQ at the overnight site. The older kids slept overnight last night, then the younger ones were joining for tonight. We told Brandon he’d have to wait until next year. It was great checking out the campsite, and we think he’d do well there next year. There were huge tents set up, and the girls stay in one, while the boys stay in another. There is one counselor who is up all night long in case the kids have to go potty, get scared, etc. None of the older kids went home last night, and they still have to wait until tonight for the younger ones. We ate chicken kabobs, veggies, and chips. Each kid got an Oreo, and I think that was the highlight of the evening. Until after, when we headed to YL to check out their Hello Kitty paraphernalia. It was late by then, but it had started on yesterday, so we wanted to check out what they had. We came away with 4 cute HK spoons to add to our collection from last year.

Peyton pointed to a girl there, and she had a sheepish grin. I asked her if she knew her, and she nodded. I turned around, and the girl was staring at us, too. I asked Peyton her name, and she whispered, “Nicole.” She also pointed to the girl’s brother, and told us his name was Nathan. As they were getting their yogurt, Peyton said, “Maybe Nicole can sit right there.” We finished up, and headed outside to where Nicole, her brother, and mom were sitting. We chatted with the mom briefly, and were informed Nicole is in Jungle, one year above Peyton. They overlapped in their current room for about a month. Peyton went right up to them (Nicole was on her mom’s lap), and she was sitting next to her, listening to the moms talk. The mom even reached out and said goodbye to Peyton, giving her a little tickle, and Peyton just giggled. She’s definitely coming out of her shell, which is great to see! She also enjoys the company of older girls, too bad they all keep transferring over to the next room.
