So yesterday was a very busy day, but a good one! Maddy and I went to a birthday party at House of Bounce. She had a very nice time. There were a few tears. Once because she got herself into a big piece of bounce equipment and couldn't figure her way out. The second was because she gets anxious when kids are coming behind her when she's climbing onto something. She feels rushed. It's not that the kids are rushing her, in fact, they are very patient, but it's the perseption she has. So if I climb up behind her she's a lot more self-assured. By the time pizza and cake rolled around a lot of the kids were DONE and ready to go home. Maddy did well during pizza and cake though, so I can't complain. We did get stuck in bad traffic on the way home so by the time we got home, I was done!! Maddy and I laid down for a nap and when we got up we did a bit of cleaning and then headed out for our flu shots. Inova Fair Oaks is giving thermasol free shots this year for kids under 3 and pregnant women can request thermasol free shots this year too (for an additional 10). So I'm glad we got them before going to WI. However, it takes up to two weeks for the shots to really begin to work. Maddy did GREAT at the shot. Never cried at all.
While Maddy and I were at the party, Matt worked a ton outside. Our yard looks so much better. He and Josh went out and bought 10 bags of mulch last night so I think he's going to put that in while Maddy and I are gone. He was mentioning doing that today, but no go on that. I need to start packing for Maddy and me to go! I have nothing packed yet. The only things I have are a few new toys and videos for Maddy for the plane rides. I need to get a move on on the other stuff. We leave early Tuesday so today and tomorrow are our only days to pack!
Okey-dokey! Time to get a move on!
