Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, May 17th - Sunday, May 23rd, 2010)

• Had a up/down week at school - Monday was a very bad day: no listening, lots of screaming/running, and whining. However thankfully his teachers knew to expect it knowing Mommy was gone all weekend
• Has a new bedtime habit of after books and being tucked in, he'll turn on his light and play with his toys. He's played ball, games, trucks, and just running around and around. Daddy will have to tell him that it's time to shut the light off and head to bed
  
• Tuesday was a Mommy & Alexander day - we went out to lunch, went to a photoshoot to get 3rd year pics taken, and had a good afternoon together (he even napped at home)
• Went to Stop & Shop with Mommy on Thursday - it's turning into his new place because he can pick out all kinds of fruit
• Pee'd in the potty standing up on Thursday night
  
• After potty moment, did his 'pee-pee' dance for some laughs but then quickly turned sad with the thought of diaper cream for his red bum
• Family pizza dinner on Friday night
• Saturday morning was Mommy's morning - we woke up at 5am, hung out in bed, then went downstairs for breakfast. We relaxed a bit and then he helped me fold laundry, vacuum and then we worked in our "I love school" book to help practice letters/numbers
• Helped Daddy with the lawn Saturday afternoon as the "snow" fell from our trees
  
• After the lawn, the boys went to the Home Depot and Alexander ended up falling asleep
• Sunday morning was Daddy's morning and Alexander woke up at 6am (it's amazing)
• The boys went for their summer walk to Dunkin Donuts, gazebo and then the playground
• Played a bit outside after lunch but then was starting to get antsy so went for a ride with Daddy and then ended up coming up shortly after and took a nap for almost 2 1/2 hours
• Family dinner and tubby time before his nightly bedtime rituals kicked in
• Observation of the week - definitely has more "meltdowns" when the two of us are around and then plays it up with a "Mommy" and then a "Daddy" whine. He's usually pretty good when he's with just one of us, however he does have a tendency to have them more often than not when with Mommy vs Daddy
