Quick Update – Feb 2012
Saturday we went to Town Hall to see THEESatisfaction family concert. Adin and Zane both enjoyed the music, Adin even got on stage during the performance when the band invited kids up to join them. He was dancing a little bit and walking around the stage so he could get closer to the girls singing. It was pretty cute and surprising that he did it. We did have one casuality of the outing though, Adin’s digger went missing. He brought it into the concert hall but when we got to the car we realized we didn’t have it. I went back inside to see if I could find it but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I called over to Town Hall today but it’s not in lost & found so I think digger may be gone for good. Adin has been asking for it but understands that he was supposed to keep track of it and that we might not get it back.
On Sunday morning, Adin & I spent some time outside planting primroses he bought me for Valentine’s Day. He was so excited to get them planted, he had his shovels out and dug most of the holes than watered the flowers. After planting the flowers, it was time for us to head to swim class. Adin has really been enjoying his new class and is learning a lot of new skills. Zane is also enjoying his swim class and will be moving into a new level for the next session which starts in 2 weeks.
Adin and Zane’s preschool is on winter break this week. Today they hit the play zone at Bellevue Square mall with some friends. Adin got a bloody lip after jumping into another boy and whacking his face on the boy’s head. During dinner tonight, Adin explained to me what happened and that he had cried for a little while but then had a drink of water and felt better so they went to look at 2 different toy stores.
Last week we started transitioning Zane to one nap a day. He was taking his morning nap without issue but then did not want to take an afternoon nap. He’d also get really upset, crying & screaming at nap time and bedtime. It’s been going surprising well even with Zane dealing with a really runny nose and congestion which we think may be caused by teething.
Adin has been very defiant the past couple of weeks. He’s been throwing food and pouring his drink onto the table or his plate during mealtimes, being rough with Zane and generally ignoring every instruction that we give him. We hope that he works through whatever is going on soon since this behavior can be quite exhausting.
