Today was pretty smooth for a situation where toddlers outnumber the Squirrel. The Duo was up early, breakfast was eaten, play time pretty uneventful. We really focused on colors. I was using the alpha puzzle and some Easter egg dying colored plastic cups- saying "put a green letter in the blue cup" etc... She really was doing well. Bug however was being a distraction to her as she wanted to play also, and was just dumping the puzzle and cups. Next time Sissy is awake before Bug, I will deffinatly take advantage of the time for some quality 'skill building' play. It definitely was a good game as it also worked on her listening skills. She actually has a very strong memory for things.
On the 'Potty' front.. Bug actually asked to sit on the potty twice today! Once was immediately after Sissy had gotten up, so I hadn't had a chance to empty the urine yet, therefore, I'm not sure if she actually went or not. The second time she didn't pee, but we celebrated both times like she had. It just may turn out that Little is potty trained before Big.
We had our Bio visit today. It was actually with all 5 siblings and both bio parents, a pet, and a handful of other teens(ish) that i have no idea who they were. (Not going to go into much detail about the actual visit). It went ok I guess. I was worried that it would be tough when it was time to leave, especially as they had NO NAP today. An epic meltdown was expected as we were actually the first ones to leave. Dad and older sister walked them out to the car, and only a tiny whimper for a moment. Then it was all about the 'snack' that they knew would be at home for them. And singing the ABC song on the way home. They love to sing in the car. We got a new toddler CD today as a gift (Thank you!) and it has some standard songs I had forgotten all about. It will be nice to sing more than our 4 songs we ask for. (Old Mcdonald, Wheels on the bus, ABC's, nick knack patty whack - as she calls it. Just in case you were curious)
We had a large family gathering for Squirrles Mom birthday at a local restaurant. There were actually 6 kiddos there, and NONE had taken a nap today (ironically). Its a good think all those other kiddos were there as I failed to grab the diaper bag. Dooh - so of course - BOTH the Duo had very stinky blowouts at the same time while there.
It would figure that out of 19 people there... the Duo would get their food the very last! They were not liking everyone else all having food and not them. They actually didn't eat much at all. Perhaps the snack was too big...? Perhaps just too much excitement and attention...? oh well, left over chicken fingers will make for a quick and easy lunch tomorrow.
Now I must sleep as no nap for the Duo and a long busy day, has me quite tired.
