Day 29: Rest and Change
Sunday's are always a great day of rest. We fed the church missionaries dinner. And then we began implementing some of the things I had learned in my conference.

Day 28: Retreat
Saturday I spent another day at the Power of Mom's Conference. It was another amazing day helping me to refocus on what matters most, learn some great new strategies and tips and just meeting so many amazing women.
And a catered lunch from Panera Bread is always a good thing

Day 26: Curls to Stay
Ryder and I ran some errands- while we were checking out the lady saw the back of Ryder- so this view
and she said she and her several times- sorry lady he is a boy, curls and all.
And those curls are going to stay, I love love them!
And some days- cereal for breakfast is really just the perfect thing
And since the weather was beautiful we went outside. Ryder wanted to try and ride his sister's scooter- but he already knows helmets are required
even if it is your sister's princess helmet
and if it gets taken away-well you can see the results

Day 25: The Tooth
Have you been wiggling your tooth? It had become a daily question. Tonight when he showed how much it wiggled Eric said we should try and get it out.
From the bathroom I hear wiggling, and crying and shouts of look it's almost out!
And finally success!
A few tears, but the thought of the tooth fairy coming made it all okay.
He lost tooth number 5 on Thanksgiving, this tooth- number 6 came on his 100th day of 1st grade.

Day 24: End of the World
See this sort of pinkish object?
Well this once used to be pink, now a bit grayish blankie caused a whole bucket of drama. Monday evening, at bedtime Alex could not find it. Eric promised he would search for it and bring it to her when he found it. But he could not find it anywhere.
We looked in the hiding spots, the usual spots, under furniture, inside the trash (she does have a little brother who likes throwing things away), no where. She went to bed crying.
And she woke up crying when she realized it had never been brought to her in the night. She was crying so much she almost made herself sick.
I sent out post on FB asking if anyone at workout class had seen her blanket. She continued to sob, I asked if she wanted to stay home from preschool today. She said yes. I was just about to call her teacher when I got a message- someone at workout class had found it- someone that also went to her preschool and would bring it to her today! She was suddenly ready to go- her world had been restored.

Day 23: Helpers & Projects
Ryder loves helping me. Sweeping is one of his favorite jobs. He also loves helping me rearrange my spices, even stacking them in nice towers at times. He will get out bowls and stir with me and loves watching the food cook in the oven.
"On" he will say while pointing at the oven standing on his tiptoes trying to see the food cooking inside. So today when he pushed over a chair so he could see what I was cooking on the stove, well he was in heaven. "Ohh" he would say while pointing. "Stir" he replied while I stirred the food.
"No touch, hot" I would remind him. He did good keeping his hands back, he just wanted to be able to see what was going on.
He wants to be big and do everything his siblings do- so when we began making Lucas' 100 day shirt painting our hands to make hand-prints- well Ryder wanted to join in. Pointing at the shirt, but then when it came time to paint his hand, he pulled his hand back towards his body and said "nuh-uh, nuh-uh". We tried to show him how fun it was, but he would look, but always kept his hand safely tucked in.
I ended up just painting some handpints for him.
