Abby hung out in her car seat and had some tummy time.
Grant played hard.
Julie's kiddos were well behaved. In the first shot, they are listening to Julie - probably telling Clara not to eat the chalk. I am loving the second shot of Nathaniel.
Family shot!! I love Clara in the background. Again - she's probably looking at Julie while Julie tells her fearless child to not climb the ladder.
The 4 of us also walked into pre-school together earlier this week to drop off the boys. Grant walks REALLY slow and that infant carrier weighs at least 50 pounds by the time we got to the rooms (10 minutes easily - not kidding). Oh yeah - Grant and Nathaniel are now going to pre-school at a local Catholic church 2 days per week. Derek has seen more of the school than I have and he was really impressed with what the kids knew.
Grant was home for 10 days solid over the holidays. That's the longest he's been home with us since I was on maternity leave. He behaved MUCH better (by the end of that time anyway) - probably because he got lots of attention (rather than just dinner, play, bath, teeth, bed time routine, etc.). This extra time made drop offs this week a little more difficult - he's not throwing himself down on the ground or anything. Just really clingy.
Getting out the door with a toddler and infant every morning is not easy either. It. Takes. For. Ever!!! Hopefully it will be easier once Abby has a real routine. Right now there is no telling if she'll be awake, asleep or (the ultimate challenge) nursing when I need to get Grant ready.
I'll be updating (back-dated) Christmas posts soon, so stay tuned...
