Another week gone by… Thank goodness! I look forward to the weekends so much! You would ask who doesn’t. Well working down here in an area that is mainly tied to casinos, a lot of people, like Marc, have to work weekends. I lucked out with a job in a casino that is M-F 9-5.
Anyway, I am looking forward to time to hang out with the kids, clean and get organized for the next week. I am going to try my best to get the kids to the beach this weekend. Hopefully it doesn’t rain too much with the Hurricane coming up the coast. But we only have a few good beach weeks left before the fall hits. We are lucky most years to get Indian summers. The ocean water is still so warm so it keeps the air warmer.
Well I think it is almost official that Marc has 3 more weekends left at the Borgata before his seasonal employment is over. I had a small hope that they would ask them to stay but no word on that. I think they would have heard by now. So back to claiming partial unemployment and hoping to find another side job OR finally getting promoted. Some stability in our life would be nice for a change. But we are just rolling with the punches til then.
Alright enough depressing talk. The kids! The kids are doing great!!! Chase is a riot as always. I think we are getting closer to potty training. His BFF at daycare is about 9 months older than him so of course he goes on the potty. Chase is trying his best- he sits on the potty for a little but no action. And yes I have tried EVERYTHING. This weekend is known going to be known as “Operation Potty Train!” haha. I am going to keep his butt on that potty as much as possible. But I am going to try the Pottywise book someone recommended to me if it doesn’t work.
Someone at daycare must be telling Chase that his sister is a princess, so he tells me that Abby is a princess. *And* lately he has been calling me a princess! J So cute! I will take that! Well I told him last weekend how he looked very nice in his church clothes and he said “Chase a princess”. He doesn’t get the difference between girls and boys yet. I try to explain to him that girls are princesses and that he is a “cool dude”. I figured if I said Prince he still wouldn’t get it. He LOVES being a cool dude! Haha! He tells everyone that “Chase a cool dude!”
Abby- Abby is getting so big and brave. She climbs steps, onto chairs and just about anything else she can get her little butt up on. It is nerve wracking to say the least. On top on that, Chase thinks it is fun to “play” with his sister. Which usually means rough housing with his 9 month old sister... She still only has one tooth but that doesn’t stop her from eating anything she wants. She ate her first whole banana yesterday- she ate the entire thing! I don’t think I have seen her turn down any food that is in front of her. I hope that doesn’t change as she gets older. Chase has always been a struggle to get him to eat well.
Abby is the happiest baby I have ever seen, well when she is attached to me that is. I guess b/c she doesn’t see me 40 hours a week that she soaks me in as much as she can when I am home. I love every minute of it. I just wish she would want to cuddle. She only wants to nurse when she is laying or sitting with me. I guess that won’t change until she is totally weaned.
