Girly stuff

Girly stuff is starting to pop up here and there in the Davis household. Ryan kind of likes to turn a blind eye to it all. Im not 100% sure he has still come to terms with the fact that he is having a daughter and chances of her being just like me are pretty high. Ha!

We have picked out her bedding and I have even made a couple of bows.

 

I sorta kinda like Wyatt's 2-3 hour daily naps. I can actually get a lot done and I happened to make this bow holder for Claire during one of them.

I have also made her a onesie!

And yes, that's my baby bump at the bottom of the picture. It's starting to get in the way a little bit...

Chores

I've got a real big helper these days.

 

I just love having a little helper around the house. Other chores include his most favorite which is laundry.

I'm forever yours, faithfully.

Oh you thought I was going to be all mushy about how great my marriage is and how dedicated we are to each other. Well, I'm not. But, we most certainly are.

Last night we met the Townsends for dinner AND the Journey concert!! Wooo!!! Me and my lover:

We had great seats...much better than our Tom Petty. Ha!

 

Haley and I are die hard Journey fans. We've had many a late nights belting out some Don't Stop Believin' and we've probably shared late night tears over Faithfully but don't quite remember it.

It started with Loverboy which I think I knew 2 songs that he played and then Pat Benatar who I really like, but I seriously adore her now. She is just so fun on stage and I love the rasp in her voice. Plus, she has seemed to age quite well.

 

Then, then Journey came on and it was fabulous. It worked out great becaust it would be a fabulous song that we'd stand up and awkwardly sway/dance to and then I could rest for a song or two.

 

I had to take lots of potty breaks, thank you pregnancy, and I got back to my seat towards the end I heard the infamous tune starting- Don't Stop Believin' is sooo much better in person My favorites were Don't Stop Believin' and Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. Oh and Lights!

 

I had so much fun last night, but definitely paid for it today. We didn't get home until after midnight and for a pregnant girl that's the equivalent to about 3am.

 

Claire LOVED the concert too. Every time I sat down I felt her kicking away. Her loves her some Journey! Momma's raising her right!

 

My babies both went to concerts in the womb...Wyatt enjoyed him so George Strait so he will probably be my little country crooner like Daddy and Claire will follow in my steps and be a wild child! Ha!

My mommy instinct

Wyatt was having a hard time at school. Think meltdows when I dropped him off and wandering aimlessly when I picked him up. It was heartbreatking. I knew he wasn’t happy and it became more and more obvious as the weeks went on. Finally, he teachers dropped the bomb that he wasn’t as happy as he could be. (No crap…if only they had told me awhile back when I asked “how was his day” and all I got was a “good.”)I will leave my actual rant about that off the blog, but I ended up talking to the director the following day he was at school to figure out a plan. I confess, I had already called a different place to see if they had an opening just in case. I was that determined to find somewhere else for my little one so that maybe he would actually be happy. I was mostly concerned because Wyatt wasn’t this way with his old teachers during the summer and it just progressively became worse. Not okay. I was also informed that my kid played with one toy in the room he was in. One. That, too, was not okay. I think the biggest issue was that he was in a class with babies. He is one of the oldest in his class and clearly the biggest. When I spoke to the director I told her he was bored. He had nothing in common with the younger babies (by younger I mean 6 months and up). He had nothing to stimulate him at all. Our prayers over the 2 days since the bomb drop was answered because they had an opening in the next class up and a kid was absent that day so he could “test” it out.

Thank you, Lord.

He adjusted very well! He sat at the table in a little chair with the other kids who are I think up to a little over 2 for lunch and even napped on a mat just fine. He was in a crib in the other room, but did just fine with the floor mat. I picked him up and he was a different kid. His entire demeanor was different. It definitely made my heart smile.

When I dropped him off Tuesday he went right to playing. I put his stuff up and walked out of there without so much as a whimper. When I picked him up he was playing with other kids. This was exactly what he needed. His teacher told me he whined a little bit, mostly due to not getting to do something he wanted, but all in all he had another great day. He is officially moved up to the new class and we are so very, very thankful. I love his school, but if it wasn’t the right fit for Wyatt we would have moved him in a heartbeat. I’m so very happy that he gets to stay there and we have seemed to figure out the problem.

There were lots and lots of tears shed over this. A lot of them were due to being pregnant, because I honestly don’t think I would have been that ridiculous if I wasn’t with child. But man, when it comes to your kid you can’t help but become emotional…or a complete mama bear. 

October's wreath

Remember when I said I was going to make a wreath for every month?

I'm still kind of working on it. The summer I definitely slacked, but I did find time to make an October wreath! I like it and I'm so ready for Halloween this year! I've got our costumes picked out and now it's just a matter of putting it all together!

2012 Trike Derby

Yesterday we got to attend Wyatt's first Trike Derby at his school!

It was so fun to watch him along with his little classmates.

 

 

 

It's these moments that make me so utterly thankful that I have the opportunity to attend "school" stuff. These are moments that I absolutely treasure. I am so thankful for a hard working husband that is able to provide for us in order for me and him to be involved with everything Wyatt is involved in.

 

I love this picture of Wyatt...

Don't you think he looks like a 50 year old man, chillin' on his motorcycle, probably cat callin' haha.

 

After the race the kiddos had a pit stop. All those laps around the track will make one thirsty!

 

 

Oh I am so in love with this little boy!!
