Random

I have a bunch of random things to write down but no pictures, so its all words today.

1.  Greydon has been sick the last couple of days with a fever and a cough.  He's been super cuddley but so grouchy, I can't wait until he feels better. 

2.  Leila and Greydon started swim lessons last week and they are every single day for two weeks.  So between dance, preschool and swimming I feel like we are constantly trying to get somewhere.  I was really worried about swim lesson because a) Leila said she didn't want to go b) Leila was reusing to wear a swim suit and c) I wasn't sure how Greydon would like the water and being handed off to the swim teacher.  But to my surprise Leila didn't fight about going to swimming lessons, she hapily wore a swim suit and Greydon was as happy as an be in the water. 

3.  We actually got Leila to wear underwear last week, which if anyone knows Leila, is a huge accomplishment.  She has also been willing to wear clothing besides her black sweat pants and gray shirt so I feel like we are finally making some head way with all of her clothing issues.  We still have a huge way to go but these little steps feel like giant accomplishments. 

4.  I'm really tired of feeling yucky.  I feel a ton better than I did but I'm just ready to be done with all the morning sickness and tiredness.  I'm ready to have some energy to exercise, keep my house clean and get some crafts done that I 've been wanting to do. 

5.  Greydon is talking up a storm, it's so fun to hear him learn a bunch of new words everyday and try and repeat all the things we are saying to him.  His favorite word right now is bubbles and boy does he love bubbles.  He says it all the time he even started using the word bubble for water. 

6.  Lately Leila loves to write notes and lists, so I spend a good amount of time spelling words for Leila as she writes her lists.  It's so fun to have her interested in learning but I can't wait for her to learn to read. 

7.  Paul and I are in desperate need of a date night.  I don't think we have been out just the two of us since sometime in March.  With him being gone all of April and then busy weekends and days in May and lack of babysitter we just haven't had a chance.  Hopefully in the next week or so we'll be able to go out. 

Well thats all I can think of for now and maybe I can get it together and start taking some pictures of what we've been up to for the next post.
