One good thing about Peyton watching “Sofia the First” is she is expanding her vocabulary. She grabbed my necklace and said, “Ooh, Mommy, is this your It can never hurt to see a counselor and consultant myself, I would say a definite “yes”, as people who have a chance generic levitra usa of “talking off” their problems often feel better and more relieved emotionally and find their depression reduced or gone.

Today, I attended a work conference. It was made a little more tolerable that I was getting CE and that Michelle and Bonnie would be there. Both kids were already up. My only requirement was to get Peyton ready for the day. I got out her ballet clothes, and quickly changed her into her clothes for the party. Yes, it was a bit early, but I didn’t know what Dave would put her in. When I put her dress on, she quickly asked for her headband. I left her watching TV with Dave, who was trying to go back to sleep. I left a little later than I usual do with the kids during the week. I didn’t really hear from them, until after their day had begun. Dave brought the kids to Ashyln’s party at CEC. I had intended for them to play a little, then bring coins back, not thinking they would have time to spend them all, so we could go again later, but I got a text that they didn’t have much time to play games, get tickets, and redeem them in just 30 minutes. I didn’t think he would!  I guess he didn’t want to go back, if even at a later time.  I guess it was just a mad dash for them to use them.   They both said that was the BEST part of their day!  They said they said, “Happy birthday to Ashlyn” and also saw Connor and Logan.  Brandon told me that he mis-identified Tyler and Tyson.  I’m glad they got to hang out for a bit, but then they got some food, and headed over to ballet, and he kept asking me what their schedule was like. First, it’s on the calendar. And second, I’d given him the length of time the class ran, and its end time. Glad we got service in the conference room. He informed me that Brandon had not yet finished his book, yet he was playing catch with him. WHAT?! That was not what I’d told Brandon. He is going to definitely like Dave’s style! I later checked in with him, and he had finished up his book while Peyton slept. Turns out our conference had some overlap from the previous session we’d attended, so I was done by 315pm. I made it to Brandon’s game which had just ended. We were the home team, so Dave was finishing up putting the field stuff away, while Peyton was in the stroller. I was wondering how she was going to contain her. It is quite common, so don’t take it too much uk viagra prices on a regular basis.

It boosts blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain by forming new blood vessels alongwith regulating the immune system which is affected in cialis fast delivery autism. One of the moms noticed Dave was looking over quite a bit from his coaching spot on the field, then she realized Peyton was IN the stroller. She looked so surprised to see me! Brandon, too. I think they totally took me out of context. After Peyton snapped out of it, she got out and said, “MOMMY!” Dave still had a ways to go with his duties, so I conducted races with the kids to get some of Peyton’s energy out. She ran back and forth, and the three of us raced. Dave had one snack shack ticket, but since Brandon had his incident earlier in the week, it was confiscated. Dave used it to buy a malt that he wanted, and we did end up giving Brandon a bite or two. We came home, and then Dave left for work. Dave had missed some of Brandon’s homework, so I had the pleasure of working with him. He wasn’t in a good mood since he thought he’d finished everything. Peyton was making her own word search, since she had seen Brandon’s weather word search last week. After Brandon finished up, we headed to TJ’s to buy some veggies. Brandon was excited to pick out his own salad. I did tell him it had to have less than 300 mg of sodium. He picked up salad after salad, and flipped it over to look at the food label. Finally, he found one, that he thought looked good. Most of the sodium was in the salad dressing, so I told him he could have it. It was a butternut squash, red quinoa, and wheatberry salad. He liked it because it had slivered almonds and goat cheese. Peyton picked out a waldorf salad because it had apples. We went to get our staples of milk, both kinds, then headed out with the kids’ stickers. The kids were being silly with their stickers, and Peyton couldn’t quite do hers like Brandon, so Brandon helped her.

Here’s what she was working on while Brandon did his homework.   She was using a Disney ad that we got to help her find the words.  In one draft, she had “Darth Maul.”  I’m not sure what her obsession with him is.  By the time we got home from TJ’s, it was past 6pm, way past their usual dinnertime.  Dave was still not home, so I just got them their salads and we started dinner.  Brandon asked if Daddy was coming back, but then said, “Maybe he’s not coming back.”  I assured them that he would be back.  Right as I’d said that, he walked through the door!  He joined us with another of the salads.  We got the kids to bed, though they’d wanted to stay up and watch Alice in Wonderland.  After they were down, I headed out for a run.  Sitting inside all day long, I had been thinking about what I could have done with my day.  A beautiful day!  So, I was so motivated to run during the day, I wanted to make good on it when I did have time.  Now, we’ve rented Argo, and we’re watching that while I blog this 😉  Thanks to Super Dave (aka Super Daddy) for taking care of the kids today, and making it to all of our obligations.  He’s going out for a ride with Ted tomorrow, so he’ll get his exercise in tomorrow!

Brandon’s report card came home today.  He excels in math and it’s his area where he “demonstrates strength”, getting “exceeds” on about a third of the tasks evaluated, include algebra and functions (it’s amazing they call it algebra so early on!).  He is meeting goal for language arts, with “exceeds” on knowing his sound spellings and sight words.  The area he needs most work in is “writes legibly and spaces appropriately”, which is NO surprise to me.  Everything else is on par for his grade level, and the last area where he demonstrates strength is in his effort and participation in physical education.  Again, not surprisingly, as this kid likes to move.  The teacher wrote a nice summary of his achievements thus far, in Ashwagandha when used regularly , is very useful to increase energy and stamina in canadian cialis pharmacy men and other disorders.

Today, Brandon woke up at his usual time of 630 am. I did, too, and started to get ready.  Dave got Brandon’s breakfast started, while Peyton was still in bed, like the teenager she is (yesterday, she cried because she insisted she was 4 and a half years old.  I told her she was not, that she was only 4, and she sat down and started to full-out cry at school).  I got her dressed; while I was helping her get changed, she said, “When can we visit Ms Tarez to our house?”  I didn’t understand what she was talking about.  At first, I thought she wanted to go to Ms Tarez’s house, but it turns out she wanted her to come to ours.  It was so out of the blue!  I told her maybe some day, but she said, “Like tomorrow?  What about Thursday?”    She came down for breakfast, and I made all three of our lunches.  She was having beanies and weanies at school, but she wanted to bring her own lunch, since she knew the weanies aren’t good for her.  Brandon finished his breakfast, and since there was so much time left, I asked him to do some of his weather book.  He started to go nuts since this isn’t part of his routine.  I was trying to get Peyton’s teeth and hair brushed, while leaving him to his ranting.  Peyton could sense the tension, so she got her shoes on and said, “I’m just going to go wait in the car.”  Since I wanted Brandon to finish up something, I just let her go and worked with him.  She was in the car for 20 minutes!  I went to check on her, and she just had her lunchbag, and nothing else in the car to play with!  I asked her if she was okay, and her response was, “Can you hear me singing? I’m singing the song from Mr Lincoln”, (then busted out ‘My country tis of thee…’).  I felt so badly for her, since I was so focused on Brandon and his tantrum.  She was being so well-behaved.  Brandon finally calmed down, and finished up his work.  He had earned sentences as a result of his actions.  When we got to school, he lined up behind the boy he’s been having problems with at school (Brandon doesn’t like him, and slapped him after school on the way to CDC, earlier in the week [sigh] because he said the kid was yelling at him, though I think the yelling was probably in response to Brandon’s provoking him, the same day he got a purple card which means OUTSTANDING).  After I saw him kick his backpack, I sent him to the back of the line.  When he didn’t listen, more sentences followed.  He finally wised up, but only after I’d calmly counted up to 110 sentences starting from 50, by 10 ‘s.  Definitely not a good start to the morning.  The ride to school was a breeze, as Peyton was reading by now.  I guess it was too dark in the car, even though the garage light was on.  I dropped her off, and reminded her no crying. It helped Orion had just arrived, too.  She agreed not to cry, but then refused to come in the classroom.

He’s been talking about the chess tournament for the past two weeks now!  He kept asking me what date it was, since he knew it would take place on 3/22.   I took a picture for posterity.  He won 3rd place amongst the 1st graders – which is great, considering this is his first session, and he already missed the fall session.  He was quick to point out that it was a rook on top of his trophy.
So, with 50 more sentences to write, I offered him a plea bargain.  Instead of writing sentences, he could do workbook pages for 1 page per 5 sentences.  He quickly figured out he’d only have to do 10 pages, and he took it.  After he agreed, I went through and picked which pages I’d wanted for him.  He finds it challenging, and it probably took him longer than it would take him to write the sentence (I will listen the first time, every time – I made it a bit longer so he’d pick the workbook).  But at least it’s productive, and he’s not seeing it as punishment.  He was a bit disappointed that I got to choose the pages, but I did give him a mix of language arts and math.  He worked on them for almost an hour, while Dave finished up sanding.  Peyton was doing her own workbook, so both kids were self-contained.  I sat between them to facilitate both.  Later, Dave went to go pick up food before the game, while the kids headed outside to let out some steam.  Brandon had the soccer ball, while Peyton was practicing her dribbling.  Brandon was looking out for her, telling her to be careful with the table in the backyard, and then later showing her how to “backward kick”.  After dinner, we all sat around the TV to watch our basketball game.  I was holding Brandon, but Peyton was very jealous.  She said, “No, Daddy holds Brandon, I want Mommy.  I don’t love Daddy.  Daddy loves Brandon!”  Brandon asked her, “Do you love me?”  Peyton said, “Yes, I do.  And I love Mommy.”  She tried to climb into my lap, and then tried to push Brandon away (even though she just got through telling him she loved him!).  I gave her a hug, then she settled down a bit before Brandon headed up to take a bath.  Then it was her turn.  I have an all day conference tomorrow, so the kids will be on Daddy duty.

Sometimes, it’s the order in which you ask questions.  Or be more “pacific” as Brandon would say.

Dave’s been working on a table for our backyard. He got the lumber and has been working on it all week long. He was fighting the rain for a bit, but he got it put together. The finishing touches now are to sand it, stain it, and then finish it off. Brandon told Dave, “Remember to sand the underneath.

So we don’t get splinters.” He was so serious when he said it, then turned around and did something else. Dave thought about it for a sec, since he hadn’t planned on doing it. He said, “I did remember reading about how it should be sanded and finished underneath,” though he wasn’t so convinced since it just means more work for him. I just gave look and basically said, “What he said!” Maybe Brandon has some kind of wood-working skills we aren’t aware of.

Okay, let me qualify the statement. I was at work on Wednesday, and I had a co-worker who needed to get on our home page. I was trying to walk her through it from my desk, because she didn’t come over to me. I said, “Okay, open IE.” She said, “What’s IE?” I said, “Open Internet Explorer.” She said, “What?” (Begrudgingly, I got up, still mad that she didn’t come over to me. I wasn’t the one who needed help, right?!) I told her to point her mouse over the “e” at the bottom toolbar. She said, “OH…I just learned something new today.” Flash forward to the evening, when I was working with Brandon on a book he is writing about the weather. So, it’s better to have prescription for a safe and natural herbal medicine. sildenafil online purchase He went on to say “It is one of the jobs of CBP to protect buy cheap levitra americanlandscapingci.com people and legitimate businesses by seizing unsafe and unknown substances.

When a man goes through the condition he does not gain americanlandscapingci.com women viagra pills or maintain erections sufficient for pleasurable sexual intercourse. We chose a few weather words, and the words he chose were all different kinds of storms. So, he will be writing a book of “Storms”. Each day, we’ve been picking another storm type to write about. So, he got to the computer, and I logged him in. I was very patient with him, given what I’d been through that morning, and I told him, “Put your mouse cursor over the ‘e’.” He immediately went to the bottom of the screen, and said, “Oh, you mean, ‘Internet Explorer’?” The way he asked it was like, “DUH, why are you dumbing this down for me, Mommy?” It’s like “Are you smarter than a 7 year old?” but in reverse.

I picked Peyton up, and we hurried home to eat dinner. I told her we could walk to the park and see the baseball practice, but she had to eat dinner properly and not make a mess. She ate her chicken, snap peas, and carrots. I told her it was best to eat all the different colors. She looked down at her plate and said, “But I don’t have red.” My veggie platter was still out, and she said, “Can I have a tomato?” She doesn’t like tomatoes. I told her, “But you don’t like tomatoes, are you sure you want one?” She nodded. I gave her one of the grape-sized tomatoes. She took a bite, then gagged. I told her she had to eat it since she’d asked for it. I told her to use some hummus from her plate. She dipped it, then started eating the rest without complaint. She said, “Yeah, it’s not bad!” I’m glad she was willing to give it another chance! I said, “Next time we go to In and Out, are you going to eat the tomato?” She said, “Yes!” Wow! She keeps asking when she can bring a lunch to school. She has the lunch calendar, and she will review it on the way to school. One day, she had hot dogs, veggies, fruit and milk. She was telling me about it, and she told me about eating hot dogs. I told her she didn’t have to, and that she could eat more of the veggies. She said, “But there were no veggies.” I asked her what she meant. She said, “But there were only fries!” ACK! Fries are NOT veggies. So I told her we could bring her own lunch next time there were beans and weanies or hot dogs and fries (about once per month for each).

Moreover, you will be able to cialis professional online frankkrauseautomotive.com regain his lost potency. She said, “But can I bring my lunch bag? With the polka dots?” She remembers her bag from over two years ago! I did tell her she can bring that to school. Some of the other kids bring their own food, for what ever reason. So, her first home lunch will be on Friday. I’d previously not wanted to have her stand out from her classmates and have her eating different food from the other kids, but it sounds like she is asking for something else. She was even requesting carrots. It is a nut-free school, so we will have to keep that in mind when we bring food for her.
So, she finished up dinner, and we got ready to leave out the front door. As soon as I opened it, we were met with light sprinkles. It wasn’t too bad, but she told me, “I guess we can’t go outside.” That didn’t stop her from making it down the steps. I told her, “Go put your rain boots on, let’s go walking!” She’d already had her jacket with a hood, as did I, and it wasn’t raining that badly, so off we went. She was so excited to be out! We got to the park as the baseball team was disbanding. The structure was wet, so I told her she had to be careful, especially since her rain boots were slippery. She got to play for about 5 minutes while Dave cleaned up his stuff. We ended up driving back home, since the rain was coming down a bit more by then. Dave decided he didn’t want to go to the PTA meeting tonight, so he got the kids down, while I headed to the gym early. I would have been late to the meeting by the time I was ready to go anywhere, but for the gym, I was earlier than usual, so it was nice. By the time I came home, the kids were in bed, but still awake. I gave them each a hug, then it was quiet time.

This morning, I woke up with my alarm, and both kids were still asleep. I got ready, then set out to wake them up. I think Peyton was up, since she was under the covers, and she was moaning and rolling around. No sooner than I woke her up, Brandon was also moaning in the next room. I got her dressed (diaper was dry!!), and told her I’d brush her teeth and hair first, and she’d get Cheerios in the car. I told Brandon the same thing, and surprisingly, did not have any backlash in the change of routine. I told them both we were running late, and we had to get moving. We got out the door by 715 am, and I got them to their respective destinations, along with me at work by 805 am. Work went well with a healthy potluck, along with a brief walk after with Bonnie. I went to pick Peyton up, and we headed to the book fair. It wasn’t opened on Friday after the field trip, my only day to freely browse with her. She was looking for a specific book, Lalaloopsy. Mr Tuan was trying to help us find it, since Peyton had seen it in the book fair ad, but we were not successful. Peyton found Doc McStuffins instead (Peyton’s a total Disney girl!), and she wanted that book. I did find Lalaloopsy, but Peyton changed her mind and wanted to stick with Doc. We picked some books for Brandon, and then we headed out. Dave was doing his snack shack duties, but he’d picked Brandon up first. So, we picked Brandon up, then the three of us headed home. I had some veggies left over from what I brought to the potluck, so I let the kids pick their veggies. The rule was they had to pick something besides carrots, since I knew both would pick those. Brandon selected tomatoes, while Peyton chose the snap peas. We ate that along with some chicken and hummus.

Last week, while we were sitting at the table with four of us, he said, “Why don’t we go around the table and say something about our day?” I was surprised he would bring that up. We did it at the time, but today, Peyton said, “Brandon, how was picture day?” She sounded so grown up asking her brother. She had remembered he’d had picture day. I’d given him a polo to wear, and asked him to take off his long-sleeved shirt to show just the polo. He said he did, but we’ll see. Brandon just answered, “It was okay.” Then Peyton proceeded with, “What did your smile look like? Can you show us?” Brandon was concentrating on his drumstick, trying to pry meat off, so he said, “Wait, I’m busy.” I don’t know that he ever did show us his picture-ready smile. Otherwise, dinner was uneventful, which is a good thing. No spills, no whining, and food was completed. Brandon said, “I’m going to go take a bath after I finish my yogurt.” Again, I was a bit surprised he was taking initiative. I told him I wanted them in their beds by 7 pm today. He was watching the clock and counting down. “46 more minutes,” said Brandon at 6:14 pm. He’s getting much better at telling time, and knowing how to calculate time differences. It’s fun to see him practice on his own, and think of it as a challenge, not an annoyance when I ask. After taking his bath, and getting himself ready for bed, he finished up his reading. He was in bed by 7pm for floss and fluoride. Peyton was getting there, too, and she finally went down, too. Both had lost their privileges from the night before, having come out multiple times, but I told them both since they’d done a great job this evening, I re-instated what they’d lost. Dave came home by 730 pm, about 45 minutes earlier than expected. Both were still up, and Peyton informed me that he was home (she was peeking out her window). He gave them both a hug, and then they were down and quiet.
