On a cheery note, I did win a couple of cool giveaways: 1. a dozen cupcakes, fun bites food cutter and a $25 gc to Daydreaming Gifts from Anderson Angels blog. 2. a Super Undies Nighttime Training Pants from Happy Mothering blog.
Toddler Log: 3 Years and 6 Weeks Old
Marlie was not pleased about daddy being gone and it showed. Everything was a battle. She didn't even want to go to school, which is a first.
I tried my best to distract her with cool projects and even some treats like a little extra TV time. She'd do okay until bedtime and then all heck would break loose. By the time I got her to go to sleep all I wanted to do was fall into my own bed, but there were chores to do and then baby boy would wake up. I don't know how single parents do it.
We did manage some fun like drawing on the huge sheets of paper that the movers used to pack our boxes. And we had a wonderful play date on Friday with one of the moms I met through Mocha Moms who also relocated here recently. She has a 2 yo boy and a 4 yo girl. We have lots in common so talking to her is easy. Marlie and her kids get along fabulously and she is a cool lady, so that's a plus.
Baby Log: 24 Weeks Old
Someone is 6 months old! I'm floored. Didn't I just push him out yesterday?! He caught a nice cold for is half birthday. But he's not letting it slow him down! He had his first babies-only play date this week at IKEA.He got his first taste of meat (the liver and sweet potatoes did not go over well). I made him sweet potatoes and bananas instead. He is sitting up and crawling a few steps. He likes to move it, move it!

Sorry to hear you all caught a cold! That sucked timing-wise. With school just having started and you guys moving, it is no wonder that Marlie fell apart when Damon was gone. Too many changes for a high-maintenance miss! Cool that you've met a like-minded mama with kids in your kids' age range and that get along! That's practically a miracle!
that catching a cold stuff sucks.
single moms make I tell ya lol.
that Desmond is so handsome. and I can't believe 6months past so quickly.
Aww that sounds like a down week. He is getting so big and it seems like yesterday you announced you were pregnant. I'm sure Marlie was glad when daddy came bck home.
Congrats on the giveaway wins. Hope the baby is feeling better.
Back from Blogalicious and catching up on everything! 6 months already?! Wow!
