Lima, Montana

Jonathan is gone again, this time to Lima, Montana.  Ian and I will probably go up and meet him on Saturday but I have a class on Friday that I must attend.  I am going to try harder this time around to not feel so claustrophobic in my own home.  This morning, Ian and I went to the library for story time.  I am not sure he really liked it.  There were a TON of kids and he became really shy.  Which is not like him.  So I might take him again next week or the following one to try and ease him into the environment.  We are hoping to have some play dates this week with different people too.  Hoping to get out of the house as much as possible while still being able to get my homework completed.
Wanting to have a good week and then on Saturday morning, Ian and I are going to attempt to drive to see Jonathan for 5 days.  There is another wife and daughter who are going so I think it might be fun.  We'll see how Ian handles to trip.

Craving....

Now all I need is for some place to deliver it and I would be in heaven!

Chick-Fil-A

I rarely go to Chick-Fil-a but we were out getting the car fixed and so we went.  I was very impressed with their kids meal.  Ian is a super picky kid these day and only really wants to eat fruit and veggies.  He rarely eats meat and sometimes bread or pasta but that is about it.  He got the chicken nuggets meal and it came with a fruit cup (REAL FRUIT) and apple juice or milk choice.  He also got a book for the under three kids meal prize.  He ate the entire thing including his 4 chicken nuggets.  I was seriously impressed! I will have to take him more often if he is going to eat that well!

Things Ian Puts in His Shopping Cart: Episode Two

When I was cleaning up today, I found Ian's shopping cart filled with tons of plastic knives.  Huh? Sometimes I wish I could read this kid's mind!

I Want This!!

Is it wrong that I want this??

Kiwi, the Terror (Part 2)

Oh Miss. Kiwi.  We have been able to help her through a lot of her problems.  Although she is still extremely scared of Jonathan.  The entire time Ian and I were gone to Baltimore and Niagara Falls, she hid from him.  He has tried to convince her that he will not hurt her but that is not something she believes.  So she lives her life in fear of him.

Otherwise she is a great asset to our family.  She is really good with Ian and she will tolerate him almost all the time.  There has been a few incidents where she was not happy and told him so.  She and Ian spend a good portion of the day playing together, whether he throws a ball and she runs after (she is like a dog, she fetches) or if he drags something on the ground for her to follow and try to catch.  She is so playful.

Last night, I was making some Nanaimo bars for a church activity.  I had Ian up in his high chair eating supper while I was making the Nanaimo bars.  Ian starts laughing hysterically.  I turn around to find Kiwi with her nose and paw in the confectioner sugar.  I tell her to get out and she looks up at me and has the confectioner sugar all over her nose.  What kind of kitty wants to eat confectioner sugar? Or maybe she was not trying to eat it but play in it.  We will never know.
