Runners to their mark!


Gillian has been going to the weekly fun runs since June 23rd. This week was her personal best - 2:57. She ran so awesome! She had her favorite running partner with her Jonathon. So proud of both of them for the great work they have done throughout this season.

Happy Wednesday!

Lately Gillian has become curious about something interesting....boobs. I don't know how else to explain it other than curiosity. She is starting to notice one of the many differences between boys and girls. I do have to say that she is really cracking me up with this.

I had mentioned to Craig that whenever I pick Gillian up she constantly feels my boobs and I have to ask her to stop. More recently she has been telling me how she is going to have boobs like me one day.

Most recently if Craig doesn't have a shirt on she wants to pull on his chest hair. Gillian informed him that she wouldn't have that when she is older and she will look like Mommy. Craig also told me that she has told him her chest will blow up like a balloon.

It is very hard not to laugh. After these few comments the next time we were alone I explained to her that it isn't nice to touch other people's chests, again she reminded me that she would look like me one day and I told her she was correct but that one day will be a little while away and in the mean time she should keep her hands to herself. So far so good.....

Weekend Recap!

I was looking so forward to this past weekend because I had such a rough week. Work was stressful, I gave up caffeine again and started limiting my soda intake. Withdrawal was not pretty so I was so looking forward to the weekend to relax. I cleaned like a maniac Friday night so I would be able to relax Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday
It was wonderful. Craig let me sleep in then my Mom brought Emma and Zandra over for a play date with Gillian in the afternoon. They played in the pool, on the swing set and went for a bike ride. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. You would think that would tire Gillian out but no, she still made it to her bed time.

Sunday
I got up with Gillian at 7:43am (UGH!) I shouldn't complain some parents are up much earlier. I took Gillian for a walk (which means I walk and she rides in a wagon) so Craig could get sleep. Gillian got to spend some time with Craig when we got back (he's been working doubles for days...) and then she played on her swing set while I read a book in the shade.

It was such a nice relaxing weekend. Although I don't want the weekend to end, I'm not dreading Monday like normal. I actually feel relaxed and ready to go to work.
