Moving bed/wake time
This week Hadley is attending music camp from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. She seems to quite enjoy it so far.
There are a lot of advantages to the timing of this camp. One, I think she was tired of being up at the property pretty much every day and needed a little change. Two, I have had the opportunity to go to about 8 different stores with just Easton to look for backpacks. (I was looking for something with some quality and as per Hadley's request... a picture. The two DON'T go together). After an exhausting two days, I settled on a bag I thought she would like. I took her to the store and thankfully the Barbie bag with a puppy and kitten on it was to her liking. It was only $10 so I don't expect a lot out of it. However, it doesn't have the plastic on the front that all of my friends who have previously had their kids in all day school say to avoid if I don't want to duct tape it half way through the year.
While we were out I also managed to get her some new indoor shoes and pencil crayons.
While Easton and I did do a lot of running around we also managed to have some quality puzzle, paint, reading and other play time.
I must say that it is a little odd not having Hadley around all the time but mostly odd not to have lunch with her. For the most of her life, even the last two years while she was at school... we still had lunch together.
Speaking of lunch, so far her packed lunch has been the perfect amount of food, however, after only day two she has requested that I send something other than a sandwich. Uh oh.
Last night was Hadley's baseball fun night. It was a good time and after a full day it helped to make bedtime a little easier.
Tonight at 8:45pm both kids were asleep. (This is about an hour early for my kids).
By September 3rd I have to keep moving bedtime and wake up time earlier and earlier. Wish me luck!
