The weekend was uneventful for us. We took a ride to a seafood place called the Lobster Claw with Sonia's favorite Uncle, Uncle Eric. The food was OK not great. We then hung out today at Nana's house and with two of her cousins. They all play fairly well together. The only thing is, is that one cousin and 12 and the other one is 9 so sometimes they don't want to play with a 3 year old. They did take her outside and play though so that was nice.

Happy Weekend Everyone! We are just probably going to stick around the house since gas prices are at 3.50 a gallon! My goodness can you say price gouging!!!
Crazy. If we do anything exciting I will be sure to post again.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! A little chilly but still beautiful. We took a ride down to Plymouth and went to the Plymouth Rock which is being restored so Sonia could not see it. We then saw the Mayflower II, walked around a little and ate at the Lobster Hut. It was soooo much fun. It was a little chilly by the water but what a great day! Hope your weekend went well also!

And Today I love living in Massachusetts because we celebrate Patriot's Day and we have the day off from work and school!!!

Weather in New England

Well, yesterday we had a BEAUTIFUL day here in Massachusetts. It reached almost 80 degrees. We were outside playing and running around with our friends at their house. Sonia was having a great time with my friends son Derek. They were pushing around trucks and riding on toy cars it was GREAT!! We were all wearing shorts and wearing sunscreen and then 5:00 hit and it started getting COLD!! We left and went to my sisters house for a BBQ and we were all FREEZING because when the weather drastically changes from about 80 to 60 that is pretty cold. But we still had a great time regardless. Sonia got to play with her 6 cousins and swing on the swings. It was a great night. We did not get home until around 8:45 and Sonia was BEAT!! She fell right to sleep.

I Hate Sand!!!

As many of you know, I am a preschool teacher at a day care center. On our playground we have SAND!! Yucky, dirty, dusty sand. It gets everywhere; up children's noses, down their pants, in their eyes!! Sonia comes home every night with at least 1/2 cup of sand in each shoe and her socks are FILTHY!! They don't even come clean with Bleach! I try to have her dump out her shoes before she even gets into the car but sometimes that does not happen.
Sorry, I needed to vent that!!

Not too much to say today except that:

MORNING HUGS ARE THE BEST FROM YOUR CHILDREN!!!

Potty Training

Sonia is just about done with potty training THANK GOD!! She only wears pullups at night and during naptime at school. It is just so funny that she still wants me to go to the bathroom with her AND help her wipe. She is very funny and when she has an accident; she just puts her hands up and so "awwwwwwwww I peed mommy"

Why can't I get my patience back into order yet!! I am hoping that my second trimester will be ALOT better because Sonia is being sooooooooooooooooooooooo needy andI am sooooooooo tired!!!

Not really about Kids/family: But, Jordan's Furniture is a really COOL place. For those who do not know what it is; it is a furniture store but it has other fun things for everyone. We have 3 of the stores here in Massachusetts and the newest one is GREAT!! We took Sonia there yesterday and she had sooooo much fun. We walked around looking at furniture that we could not afford only dream about, then we ate at Fudruckers (yes inside the store), then we watched this really cool water/liquid firworks show (again, yes inside the store), and there is also a Trapeze school to teach you how to Trapeze, and then there is a really good ice cream store; and IMAX theater; AND a Jelly Belly world (all these things made out of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans!!
Really COOL. Sonia did really well we were very proud of her!!

colds

Colds are not fun at any age; but for young children it can be a nightmare. The other night we gave Sonia some night time cough and cold medicine to help her sleep. Well for the first hour or so, she was coughing and crying for mommy. I went in and comforted her then she tried to go back to sleep. Now, we did put a pillow under her mattress to have it on an angle but it did not seem to help. She started coughing again really hard and then of course you know what happened next; she coughed so hard she made herself throw up! I hate vomit so Rich had to come in a clean it up, thank goodness because I could not stomach it.

Sonia then came in to our bed and watched some TV. She was with us for about 45 mins and no coughing so I said OK time for your bed now and she slept the entire night!
Thank Goodness!!!
