Subversive Napping

DH finished organizing the bottom floor of his workshop.  The storage in the upper floor still needs some work, but it's getting there.  We can at least find the tools!  It looks pretty good.

Check out that organization!

So much space!

DH let me take a nap yesterday since TerraDactyl's not been letting me sleep at night.  When I woke up they were playing with the drawers in the bathroom.  I tried to make the stuff in the drawers be things that wouldn't matter too much if TerraDactyl got into them.  It's probably not good if she eats deodorant or soap, but it's not a big deal if she empties the drawer out and drops everything on the floor.  Plus, TerraDactyl LOVES finding new things in new places.  I don't mind using dented soap.

Check out all the hidden treasures!

I also really enjoy watching TerraDactyl examine new things.  Sometimes she just sits there and turns them over and over in her hands.  It just cracks me up.  If you don't interrupt her, she'll do it for a really long time.


Also...  I was sitting in the basement while TerraDactyl was supposed to be napping and I heard this weirdest noise.  I checked the monitor and was quite surprised at what I saw.  First off, the monitor is muted.  The noise you hear in the clip is just ambient noise heard through the ceiling/floor from a floor away.  Second, that's an extra piece to her crib she's messing with.  It converts the crib to a toddler bed.  I thought we'd found a nice hidden place for it between the crib and the wall.  I guess not.  We'll have to move it.  Maybe under the crib...

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate.....

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

Image
TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...
