At this point, I am just using this post as a photo journal of our life this past week. Which actually now that I think about it is a pretty good idea. Well anyway, here are some words to go along with a few the pics (for those of you who are interested) + a few other lessons learned this week.
1. Eli is really into cars, and also Cheerios. So I found this Cheerio race car hanging by the cereal in Kroger that can hold the beloved snack in the trunk of it. So, naturally I bought thinking what a fun idea. Seconds after I gave Eli the fun race car with his favorite snack, the entire lot was spilled onto the floor. Great. He does love the car though.
2. I'm obsessed with Mrs. Meyers cleaning products. I buy them at Target all the time and they are natural and less harsh on the environment, so on and so on. Well, I learned this week that not only do they are preserve the environment, they provide relief for the mom, who turns her back on a toddler who pours out an entire bottle of cleaning solution and he may or may not have ingested some of it. The label says "if ingested drink water". Ok. I called poison control anyway (I have them on speed dial) and they said the same. He was fine, I think he just wanted me to clean up yet, another mess. Needless to say, I'll never make the rookie mistake of leaving cleaning products within a toddlers reach again, and if by some reason he does get them, I'll only buy natural products, so we are all safe.
3. Lewis Ginter. I love it there. We bought a membership and we go there at least once a week. The splash pad is awesome and hardly ever crowded and they have so many cute things to do there like a giant sand pit and story time under the tree. The children's garden is right by a man made lake and its so peaceful. What makes it even better? When you go there with friends.
4. We have played in the rain, played football with Grandad, put Thomas the Train stickers everywhere,rode the train at short pump and cooked out on the grill (eggplant + salmon on a cedar plank= so yummy).
5. Our community group is doing a woman's book study. Reading a book by Timothy Keller called "Reason for God". Two chapters in and my mind is blown. I'll post more on that later.
Until next time..
Love,
Kellye
