Stay At Home Mom

Now that the school year is finally over, and I finished up with everything else, I’ve been acclimating myself to the life of a stay-at-home mom. Three meals a day, driving to and fro… it’s been pretty fun actually.

What are we doing?

• swimming lessons
• dance class (a shocking bargain at the local Y)
• playing in the yard
• more Dentist appointments – yay!
• visiting friends

Lala has also had some swallow therapy appointments. The therapist seems to think that her swallowing issues might be linked to weak tongue muscle development. Which may be linked to to the torticollis Lala experienced as an infant. At least, she seemed to react like it was very important when I told her about. At this point, I’m willing to go along with anything to help her.

I have to brag about my major bargain steal. The cuddler’s birthday is just a few days away. A few weeks ago, I found a practically new Spiderman bike for him at a garage sale for $8!! Brand new the bike retails for about $70 and I got it for $8. There was a lot of happy squeals as my car drove away. I’m now on the search for Lala’s bike, which may be delivered by the birthday fairy on the same day. I know I’m totally caving, but the amount of screaming and whining when the cuddler has a bike and Lala doesn’t, is more than I can even think about handling.
