Today has seemed like it's been full of firsts and many good things! It started out when Duder and I were in the car and he started saying the alphabet! It was amazing! He's so smart and so excited to learn... he was quite proud of himself, as he should be! Then Lucy got 2 teeth... her first ones! :) I'm very excited for her as well, and she wasn't even real cantankerous for breaking them in! And we found out that Gaetan got a 93 on his classical mechanics test. I know that he's been rocking that class, so I guess this isn't out of the ordinary, but we are proud of him nonetheless.
Tristan has been such a lover/great big brother. Every time Lucy gets up from her nap, or whenever she leaves the room and comes back he ever so gently goes over and says, "Hi Lucy." Gives her the sweetest little kiss, hug and then rubs her head. It's adorable. Today he was reading to her. She lights up every time she sees him too. She can be in the most foul mood and when she sees him she starts smiling/giggling and clapping her hands.
This week Gaetan doesn't have to teach labs so he's home a lot more. It's nice having him around. :) It also allows me to experiment more with cooking since he's home more and can watch the kids while I do it. I have been craving thai/indian food... so there has been a lot of that on the menu this week. Also have been craving juicy fruit... weird.
I'm hoping that I can stay productive during the break and not slip into this kinda lazy attitude since I really don't have to get anything done. During the school year I am responsible to make sure the kids are happy and the house doesn't fall apart when he's gone, but when he's home... hahaha.
For the past week or so I've been extra extra tired. We just attributed it to the move and having two small kids... but they really are easy kids and even though Lucy gets up more in the middle of the night I still feel like I am probably getting ample amounts of sleep. Of course it's not as much as I like, but I can guarantee you it's a lot more than other women with two small children. I've been wanting to eat really crazy/stupid things and I've been pretty moody. Gaetan told me that he thinks I've been running around like a crazy person, so who knows. Maybe the crazy is starting to set in... haha. I don't think I'm pregnant, but we're going to wait a little bit longer and see. That would definitely be a surprise, but a welcomed one nonetheless.
I really also love getting mail and since we ordered all of our Christmas stuff I have been looking forward to checking our box or waiting for the delivery man to come. :) Zoe's gift already came, along with Ingrid's. Our Christmas cards have arrived... so we are just waiting for Mike's and my shoes. Also... apparently I'm getting a treadmill :) Good days.
Here's to the rest of the week and the beginning of break!
