Tomorrow marks a big day for the Vos family, Audrey will begin to wear her thumb guard. For two and a half years that little left thumb has been her best friend, and now it is time to say good-bye. We had decided to "take it away" for two reasons 1) the dentist said that we have until age three before she does real damage to the shape of her mouth 2) we can only wonder how many germs and bacteria have entered our house through that cute but dirty little thumb. So for the next three to four weeks day and night she will wear a rubber thumb guard. I am sad for her. Another day where parenting means choosing what is best and not what is easiest. It seems like I have had a lot of those lately!
We had a great week getting back into the swing of things after being scattered abroad. Reuben is doing really well at night and we are getting close to sleeping through. Hooray! I tried to get the kids out and about as much as possible this week because cold days are around the corner and errands will take a lot more effort with all of those coats and mittens. We went to the park a few times too. Jordan had to play a lot of catch up at work this week from being sick and being in Florida. I had one PC show this week too. I am patting myself on the back because I got out the baby books Friday night. I am far from where I should be, but a little progress was made. Yea me!
Saturday Jonah had a sleep over with his best friend James. He is so old! Rumor has it that it went really well! Audrey went to stay at Aunt Tori's, and she came back with curly hair and make up so she obviously had a great time! Jordan and I got Ruby Tuesday to go and a movie. We ate supper in the living room (which we think is a big treat) and had ourselves a little date night. It was great! Fewer kids to get ready and out the door before 7:00am also gave me the chance to join Jordan on praise team . It had been a year and a half since I sang on a Sunday morning, and I had so much fun!
I hope that I am not disappointed because I am really looking forward to the opportunity to getting a few things done this week. My mom comes on Tuesday. I am getting Reuben's "6 month" pictures taken that morning. (Yes, that will be a day after he turns 8 months. Big oops there!) That afternoon I am organizing the kids clothes and putting everything that is too small but laying around into labeled totes! Friday is my Christmas shopping and prep day. A couple of friends and I are taking turns watching kids and shopping so that we can have a stress free holiday! My expectations are high! It seems unreal that I am thinking about Christmas already, but with Jonah prancing around the house practicing his song for the Christmas program I am really getting in the mood!
So minus the thumb (literally) we are looking forward to a good week. I hope that Audrey can make the adjustment!
