4 more days.

First off I hope everyone had a great, happy, fun and safe St-Patrick's day.  I know we did.  Fionn had his cousin Dylan over for a sleepover and they had loads of fun.  We had a special breakfast (egg-in-a-shamrock and lucky charms... trying to be festive), and then we went for an adventure walk.  It was really foggy outside so the boys thought it was really cool.  I got some kids binoculars from the dollar store so they had a blast observing everything.

Today has been an absolute gorgeous day! Let it be known that it was the first day I wore a T-shirt outside AND sandals!  I love sandals.  Fionn was over at Dylan's this morning and we played outside all afternoon and then went for a walk with the neighbour and her dog.  Fionn was already feeling sore and achy because he would not walk without holding on to me.  A few times even asked to be picked up.  He's 46 pounds!  I would love to carry him but I don't usually last longer than 5 minutes.  Then we had his other cousin's(Felix) 3rd birthday party.  He must have been fueled by excitement because he was so active the whole time and did not complain.  The moment we got in the car he took off his shoes and said his feet hurt.  I've noticed that he is truly struggling more than ever this past few weeks.  He hasn't gotten up since we got home.  I'm going to give his little feet a massage before bed.  I would hate for him to wake up screaming because his feet hurt... that happened once before.

My mom and I found these neat activity journals for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and grade one reading and math at the dollar store that were perfect and exactly what I've been looking for.  I would like to set a time aside everyday for Fionn and I to work on them.  I don't want him to lag behind while he's home for the long haul.  I'm going to work out a routine for us that will hopefully keep him entertained and engaged and not just watching movies all the time.  I'm sure he will deal with all of this better then I will.

Four more days.  And my anxiety builds.  I can't help it.
