2. Max is turning into a little boy right before our very eyes, and he is starting to calm down, and also interact with us a lot more. We're not sure if this is as a result of his therapy, or if he is just growing up a bit. Sometimes we wonder how much of his behaviour is a result of being Autistic vs. being 2 years old. As first time parents we don't really have a benchmark.
3. Cameron is starting to eat finger foods. Her favourite so far is cheerios. Good call. I need to start weening her soon...but she hates formula and I hate pumping. Not sure what to do about this? I would also very much like to get her sleeping through the night, but we don't have the luxury of doing any "cry it out" with her because she will wake Max up.4. My healthy eating isn't going so great so far this week. I need to get focused so I can squeeze my behind into my work clothes come May.
5. Tomorrow is the big day when Mabel's Labels will announce the winner of their BlogHer contest. It was very cool that my post made the Top 10 along with the following blogs:I haven't heard anything yet, and since I'm guessing they need to contact the winner before they announce who she is, I'm thinking it isn't me. But that's okay - I knew going in that my chances were slim since I'm such a small blog and the majority of these blogs have huge followings. What's that saying? It was an honour just to be nominated...and thanks to those who voted for me!
6. I am really enjoying the show Dollhouse (bad acting and all), and I am bummed that the ratings are low and it will probably get cancelled. I hate it when I get invested in a show and it gets cancelled (Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, anyone?).

I brought Max, and I think he charmed the pants off of Kevin. He also tore Kevin's office apart...Kevin didn't seem to mind, which earned him points with me. He's going to see what he can do for Max. I'll let you know if he has any success.
8. This past week I spoke with my Director at work (basically my boss's boss). I'll be back to work effective May 1st and talking about the details with her made it very real. Scott and I need to figure out how we are going to get Max to his therapy while we are both at work, and how we are going to manage pick-ups and drop-offs for both kids. I am kind of excited to start this next chapter, but also a little overwhelmed with how we are going to juggle everything without dropping too many balls.
9. We are making a lamb shoulder roast for dinner. I think we'll try this recipe. Commence "baa-ing" now.
10. Scott is up (it was his turn to sleep in today), so I am going back to bed for a bit.
I feel the same way you do about the blog contest. I couldn't believe that I was actually chosen as a finalist. I don't know that I'll win since I couldn't do a big giveaway to generate more votes, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we can all get there some way or another! :)
I thought about doing a giveaway of some sort, but just couldn't pull the $$ together to do it. I was looking at doing something where I would donate to someone's charity of choice in their name. Also, I kind of felt like if someone wanted to vote for me that they should do it because they liked my post, not to get a giftcard.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that kind of thing should have been allowed.I'm just saying.....
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed for you regarding the contest!!!!
