On Saturday we all attended a very lovely birthday party for my friend’s son. The “little chef” theme was absolutely adorable (and worth stealing, so keep that in mind come October).
On Sunday we had a mostly leisurely day with very little going on at all. Sometimes you need those types of days.
Yesterday Roni and I went to a MOM’S club meeting. He had a blast playing in the church nursery where we hold the meetings. He’s getting so funny about play situations. Currently he’s pretty good about sharing, so he’s pleasant to have around other children.
Last night we went to Lowe’s and picked up our new cork flooring for our kitchen. This weekend, hopefully, we will get it all installed.
Today, Roni and I went with some friends down to the Children’s Museum in Detroit. It was small, but he seemed to really enjoy it. As a matter of fact, he’s taking a 2+ hour nap. So I guess he really wore himself out there.
Tonight I have my fellowship group, which I always enjoy.
Not sure what the rest of the week will bring. I’m feeling almost 100%, so we’re up for anything!
Tootles!

We are back in the swing of things around here. I’m feeling much better these last few weeks and am mostly caught up from all our travels.
Nico applied for a teaching position back in Pittsburg, KS and we are hopeful for such a wonderful opportunity. Although Nico loves his job working as a technical writer, this would put us closer to family and me back on track to a much desired career in higher education. We are keeping fingers crossed, but if it doesn’t pan out, then that’s fine too because we are happy here in Michigan. Either way, it will probably be a few weeks before we hear anything back.
Ronin and I have been attending a parent-tot class at a home-based Waldorf preschool. So far, the man seems to love it. Although I’m worried that he might be working on the dreaded two-year molars. Suddenly we’ve got sleeping issues again (not nursing related) and the hands are constantly in the mouth. Any advice from those who have lived through two-year molars???

Pictures!!!
Last night he slept through the night again with NO WAKE-UPS!!!! Victory seems to be upon us! Let's pray the trip to KC tomorrow doesn't mess us up too bad.
We've been pretty tired with all the nightweaning, but here are a few cute pictures...

What a month! I’ve been dealing with pregnancy symptoms from H*ll, but am starting to get back to normal again. The first week this month Ronin and I went with friends to Grand Haven, Michigan for almost a week. Nico was supposed to come, but he could not get off of work.
Right before I left, I begged my mother to come to Detroit and help me out. She said she would! We got back from Grand Haven on a Friday and picked Mom up from the airport Tuesday evening. She’s been a big help. She’s taken over all the night weaning duties. She’s been doing all the wake-ups. Let me tell you, he has not been happy about it.
Well, we also promised Dad a trip to Kentucky, but with the flood in his basement things got all rearranged. Anyway, Mom went on the trip with me. Nico stayed home to work. What a whirlwind trip that was. We left Wednesday and got back yesterday evening.
Six hours in the car with a toddler... better than I expected. He LOVED the swimming pool. I couldn't keep him out of it. Too bad he's got my uber fair complexion. He and I both had on SPF 50!
Night weaning is going good. Last night he slept from 9:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. in his own bed with no wake-ups. Two nights ago he also slept through the night, but not as many hours. Please pray this is our new trend. Also, I’m only nursing him 2-3 times per day. My goal is to completely wean him before his 2nd birthday. But I can live with 2-3 times per day for a while.
Tomorrow (Monday) I have another Dr’s appointment and a diabetes screening. Hopefully, I can skip the sugar-free route this time around… but I’m not holding my breath.
Tuesday morning Mom leaves to go back to Phoenix and that afternoon I leave to go to Kansas City. I’m going to need a break from travelling soon.
Pictures soon!
