As always, the absence of blogging does not mean a slower pace of things around here but a greater pace of things. It is worth mentioning also, the uninteresting but important news that I have done something to my hands/wrists/arms that is making them regularly/constantly sore, stiff, and numb. I had an accompanying photo that I took one morning last week of my hand covered by my trusty bag of frozen peas, but it was just a little too depressing for a blog post. But I'm trying some different things and hoping to get back to normal soon.
In light of that, here is a slightly shorter than usual "around here."
He spent a week without Legos, 2 days without tv, weekends full of mandated naps, had several calm chats with me and Chris, and order seems to have been resumed. I don't know what triggered him being so crazy at first but it has been nice to have my reasonable son back, and I feel like I've had a glimpse into Hannah's preteen stage, which will not be a favorite. It seems to have been the usual settling in sort of thing. We know that Year 2 is a pretty rigorous school year, so hopefully there isn't too much pressure on him already. I guess we're in a wait and see spot and hoping for the best.
The Friday after she presents we are all headed to Nottingham for Chris and Chelsea to run the Robin Hood marathon, so it will be a week of wrapping up a few different major tasks that hours of hard work have been poured into. It's a very big week. :)
A few weeks ago now we received the very sad news that Chris' grandpa JC had passed. Chris went back to Kentucky to attend the funeral and be with his family. There is almost too much to say about such a thing to even try to scratch the surface, but I can't leave it without saying that JC was a really good man who lived a very full life, and will be wholeheartedly missed.
That's it for now.
I'll be be back soon and I anticipate it will be regarding preschool…
My guy did the SAME EXACT THING. He was as outrageous and temperamental as he has ever been. School was rough on him, he mellowed out by the end of week 2 and was pretty much recovered by week 3. I was NOT ready for that.
