From the time Kai woke this morning until bedtime tonight he was in testing mode! You know it's not gonna be good when the best friend looks at you at 9am and says... "it's gonna be a long day isn't it?" because your child is making your head spin in circles already! I also think Kinleigh might be hitting a growth spurt or not feeling 100% because she slept until 10am when I finally woke her up (yes this sleeping in thing would be a great thing... if only it was on a morning I was allowed to sleep in with her :p) so we could shower and get ready to go to lunch at Grant. Today was the end of year BBQ lunch at school. Lindsay and I headed down a little before 11 to do lunch with Sydney and Kaeden. It's always so fun to see the kids faces when you show up at school to do something with them. It really means so much to them and it shows on their faces big time! The big smiles and the way they light up. Not many things beat that ;)
It was strange to be standing there with my 3 kids and thinking that in just a few months this will be Kaeden AND Kailer's school! I kept feeling the need to help Kai get his tray for lunch and carry it and all that jazz, yet I tried to remind myself he'd be doing that on a daily basis in 3mo so I should probably let him do it on his own! He did well and didn't drop anything. His problem is he's a super slow picky eater so i have a feeling when he starts Kindy he's going to have a long time of very hungry days until he learns to pick up the pace and at least get the main course eaten! He's so excited to be going into Kinder this fall and already considers Grant "his" school now as well LOL He was running in the halls saying this is my school now Mom :) He did real well at the lunch and helped me keep Kinleigh entertained while we waited on brother to get out for lunch. It was after we got home from lunch that he went into Holy Cow Drive Momma Nuts mode!
Kinleigh was tired and grumpy and wanted a nap. Kai was loud and couldn't stay quiet so I could get her down for a nap. If I asked him to do something he told me no. If I asked him to go in the bedroom and play he told me no. If I asked him to move off of the couch cause he was bumping sis and I he told me no. Oh how frustrated I became! Kinleigh finally fell asleep but Kai cut her nap a good hour or more short and when she was awoken O.M.G. She was a MONSTER! Screaming demon! Unusual for her and frustrating for me! Unfortunately due to his behavior Kai lost the privelage to go to the Science Fair and Book Fair at Grant tonight. I was bummed because I was excited to go but had to follow through with my threat and stay home with him while Steven took Kaeden. Better luck next year. I really hope the fact that we have plans for the weekend that he really does NOT want to miss out on sunk in after missing the fun tonight and we have a better day tomorrow....... I am gearing myself up to be one step ahead of him all day tomorrow... We'll see how it goes!
Between me being grumpy, my kids being grumpy, etc. I managed to accomplish a whole lotta nothing today. Better luck tomorrow. At least there is no plans for the day to interrupt my schedule so maybe it'll go smoother. I swear it seems that the days there are things that must be done are the days when things go upside down around here!
