Today was the start of another busy week for us. Spring weather has finally arrived and farming is in full swing. Blake had his 18 month check-up today and just as expected, he is doing great! He is in the 83rd percentile of his weight and the 68th percentile of his height, which is pretty common for my kids. All of them have been larger than the average kids their ages.
Blake has been talking more and more lately, but he is still holding out on Dad. He won't say it. I don't think it is a matter of him not being able to say it as much as it is that he just refuses to say it. If his dad asks him to say 'Da', he looks at him and says Ma. I personally find it hilarious at times, but I do wish he would say it for his dad.
I hope to get time this week to plant my garden. I have tomato plants, peppers, lettuce, sweet corn, green beans and peas. This will be my first experience as a gardener, so we will see how it goes. I just hope I get the chance to enjoy some of the fresh veggies, not only would they taste great, but also it would help out the grocery bill. Hopefully this will make it easier to keep my veggie intake up.
Bed time is my least favorite time of the day. I love spending time with my kids and would do almost anything to avoid putting kids to bed. No one wants to see the fun of day time end and why do I have to be the one to make it happen. Its not easy trying to get everyone to settle down for the night, especiallly this time of year when the weather is great and its light out longer. I love weekends when I don't have to enforce an early bedtime!
