Monday:
We are weaning Liam out of our bed. Not that we don't enjoy co-sleeping (not that Phillip does), but co-sleeping turns into musical beds with Liam, where no-one gets sleep. When we first started this, he came in three or four times at night, and each time we would take him back to his bed. Now it's just once or twice (knock on wood.)
This morning, we had breakfast, which wasn't a battle at all of spinach and eggs with bacon and toast. Liam even asked for more eggs, which I thought was great! After that, we played with toys and separated and sorted them in the toy bins. The kids had lunch and napped and then after, we took a stroll to the coffee house down the road. I put Annabelle in the bike stroller and Liam rode his scooter. The stroller is big enough for the both of them, which is good because it wasn't too far down the sidewalk that Liam was tired of scooting and wanted to join her in the stroller.
At the coffee house, I got an iced coffee and a cupcake and the kids a cup of fruit and a yogurt. Liam climbed on the table as I was still getting situated and began to help himself to my cupcake. I can't blame him. I shared a bit to avoid a tantrum and then got him a strawberry smoothie as promised. We then played with dominoes. These had different color sets of dots for each number. Liam had a quick lesson on addition with that, which he really thought was fun. We counted the dots on one side, then counted them on the other and then counted them all together. We should look at buying a set of those, I can see them coming in handy.
