Emmett started preschool last week. I have known for a while that this day needed to come, and in the end it was somewhat anti-climactic. Sometimes you build something up in your head, expecting it to be a really big transition, and it ends up being pretty smooth.
I waited until most preschools were already in session before I went to visit the ones I was considering. I wanted to see the class in session and the teachers engaged with the kids. The decision we made was largely based on the teacher of his class. He is in the middle of his second week of school and so far I'm still happy with our decision.
When I dropped him off that first day I wasn't sure what to expect. The only experience he has had with us leaving him with anyone other than grandparents is at church on Sundays, and he has never had a problem. He barely notices that we leave and he gets mad when we show up to pick him up because he's having fun and doesn't want to go home. Turns out preschool went exactly the same way, despite being at a different church than the one we attend on Sundays. Emmett has never been shy. He's very social and he has enjoyed playing with the other kids in his class.
After dropping him off the first day I sat in the car and cried for a few minutes. Not because it hurt me to leave him, but because it was a big milestone in his life. I pulled myself together and took Owen home. I kept busy so that I wouldn't think too much about it, and soon enough it was time to go pick him up. I was hoping to find him just as happy as he was when I left him and he was. He did seem just a little bit glad to see me, which was nice for a change. (That was the only day he was glad to see me though, after that he went back to being disapointed to be going home.) When I asked him how his day went he said it was good and that he had fun. And he wanted to go back the next day too.
The biggest worry I have had about Emmett going to preschool is his behavior. Emmett is a very active kid who doesn't like to sit for very long. He is also very stubborn and can be argumentative. I have had to accept to some extent that this is just the way he is, despite my best efforts to change that. So far he has only had minor behavior issues, and it hasn't been every day. I'm hoping that perhaps preschool will help improve his behavior more than I have been able to.

Bye bye baby
It doesn't happen right on their first birthday. It happens in small increments over the second year of their lives. Their babyhood just slips away...so gradually that it doesn't register with you until have a quiet moment to think. Owen is going to be my last baby (barring no accidents) and its starting to hit me that a certain era of our lives is coming to an end. He's crawling and pulling up, but he can't stand on his own yet or walk. He's not saying much other than "Mama" and "Dada" but he did inform me the other morning that he had pooped by gesturing to his butt and saying, "Poopoo." He's completely off baby food and he will eat almost anything I put in front of him. He always wants whatever we have. Too bad Emmett won't do that. He's at the age where if we're eating it, he wants no part of it, with a few exceptions like steak and spaghetti.
Soon enough Owen will be walking and talking. He will eventually give up breastfeeding. Then he'll need to give up his crib and start sleeping in a bed. We've already put so much baby stuff in storage: the baby tub, the swing, the bouncer, the baby carrier carseat. We're keeping all of those things for now, probably to hand down to family. Its so bittersweet, because having my babies has been the greatest part of my whole life. But it has also been the hardest thing I have ever been through, and I am 99.9% certain that I never want to go through it again. Not even to try for a girl, because chances are we'd just have another boy, and I don't think I would be willing to go through it again even if having a girl was guaranteed.
I have to admit, in all honesty, that I have not kept as good records for Owen as I did for Emmett. I may have lost track of when some of his later teeth have come in. I'm not sure exactly what day he crawled for the first time (the video camera knows if I just check though). I'm sure there aren't as many pictures of Owen, and Emmett is in a lot of them. I guess that's just how it goes with the second child. But just as your first born holds a special place in your heart, so does your last born. Both of my boys will be my babies forever.

The daily grind
Both boys are napping right now. Emmett had a dentist appointment this morning. There was a little bit of plaque on his teeth, so it seems I need to be brushing his teeth a little better. Right now we only do it at night, so I think we will start brushing in the morning too and see if that helps. Its difficult to brush someone else's teeth, because you can't tell if you're applying enough pressure sometimes. And he's much too young to do it well enough himself. So we'll work on that.
After the dentist we went to the playground at church as a reward for doing well at the dentist. I always forget that I can't reward him with ice cream because the fluoride they paint on his teeth has to set for 30 minutes before eating or drinking. Because we were out all morning, Owen didn't get a morning nap. So he went to sleep shortly after Emmett did, which was only about an hour earlier than he usually he does. He was a trooper. Usually he falls asleep in the car on the way home, but he didn't this time. I think he's growing out of that. In fact he may be starting to give up his morning nap. It seems way too early for that, he just started taking decent naps a few months ago. At least now he's sleeping through the night, until at least 6:00 in the morning. Sometimes he snoozes back to sleep on his own after that, sometimes he fusses and needs to nurse. After nursing sometimes he goes back to sleep, other times he doesn't. And quite frankly, 6:00 AM is earlier than I want to be up for the day. But I'd rather he sleep straight through until then and get up early, than wake up in the middle of the night.
Our dryer died last week. It had been gradually drying less and less well, taking longer and longer to dry a load. Then last Monday in the middle of a load I heard a bang and it just stopped. Went up to the laundry room and there was a burning smell, the electrical kind. So that was that. Bought a new one on Thursday and had it delivered today since we were at the beach all weekend. We bought the cheapest one we could find, because we really can't afford one right now at all. It had good reviews and we even know someone who had one and could vouch for it. So hopefully we don't regret the purchase. I'm trying it out right now. We have 7 days to return it if we don't like it, so I'm gonna use it like crazy this week to make sure I'm happy with it.
As I previously stated, we were at the beach over this past Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time. The weather was a little cooler than usual for this time of year, so we really only spent a few hours on Monday at the actual beach. But the weather was perfect for being outside. Spent a lot of time just sitting out on the deck relaxing, looking out over the waterway. The boys were entertained by their grandparents and great grandparents most of the time, and thanks to them Chris and I got to relax. And the highlight of the weekend for me was getting to go out on the jet skis that Chris's dad recently bought. I hadn't been on one since senior beach week the summer after I graduated high school, and I forgot how fun it is. I let Chris drive, I just hung on for dear life. It was a blast! The wind in our faces, occasional splashes of water, exhilarating. If you've never been on one, I highly recommend it. The weekend went by too fast as usual. The boys were both really good for the drive down to the beach, but the way back didn't go quite as well. When Owen is tired, sometimes he just peacefully drifts off to sleep in the car. Other times he screams and screams until he nearly makes himself sick and hoarse. Of course he decided to start screaming when we had nowhere to stop. When we finally did I sat in the car and fed him, we all went to the bathroom, and we got right back on the road. With a full tummy he went right off to sleep. Emmett was good both ways, especially with the help of the car DVD player Chris's parents got us for Christmas. As soon as we can turn Owen's seat around to face forward, he will be able to watch too. We did get Emmett a new booster seat before the trip so that we could move Owen into Emmett's old seat. He has outgrown his baby carrier car seat. Taking it out of the car for the final time made me a little sad. I can't believe we will be celebrating his first birthday in just over a month. His first year has gone by even faster than Emmett's did.
Owen still isn't crawling. I'm trying to focus on the positive, the fact that he is so much easier to handle when he's not mobile. By the time Emmett was Owen's age, just shy of 11 months, he was walking. I don't know if its anything I'm doing different, or if he's just different. They say some kids never really crawl, they just get up and walk. He's not pulling up either though, so I don't expect that to happen any time soon.
This post has been long enough, and who knows how long I will have until the boys wake up. Another post finished without interruption!

Children's Museum
Last Friday night we went to the Children's Museum here in Winston-Salem for their discount night. We hadn't been in nearly a year since the last discount night and we really wanted to see if Emmett would still enjoy it. Well he had a blast and we decided it would be worth the money to buy a yearly membership.
After two straight days in the house, yesterday watching the rain fall all day, we needed to get out. So this morning we decided to go back to the museum. I like just letting him run and watching to see which activities he chooses to go to. Friday night he spent the majority of his time in the Krispy Kreme donut factory where they can put plastic donuts onto conveyer belts and turn wheels to make them move and fall into bins and other such things. I figured that would be exactly where he wanted to go again, but surprisingly he didn't spend much time there today. Emmett tends to have a pretty short attention span, especially when he's excited. So he mostly ran from one thing to the other, not staying on any one thing for long. I think that as we go more often and he gets used to it, he will find certain areas that are favorites of his. They always have a craft room where they can make something, but so far Emmett isn't very interested in stuff like that. He doesn't really like to color, he will occasionally paint, but mostly he wants me to do the drawing and coloring telling me "Mommy, draw a truck! Mommy draw Lightning McQueen!" He played for a while in the grocery store part. He likes to play with the cash register, anything with buttons. He did explore a few areas that he wouldn't try last time. They have this big climbing aparatus that has a lot of platforms they can climb up on, which he used to be afraid of, but this time he tried it for a while. A few times he got himself into places he was afraid to climb back down from, but I was able to talk him down each time. He spent a lot more time in the fairy tale land today as well, trip trapping up and down the bridge from the Three Billy Goats Gruff. I like to see him use his imagination beyond just reinacting scenes from Cars with his cars. We spent about an hour and a half there this morning, which seemed like plenty and was a welcome break from the walls of this house. I'm also hoping that I will have the chance to connect with other stay at home moms there. I did see one mom that I had met at a park a month or so ago, so that was cool. And I'm hoping Emmett might make some friends who are there regularly.
Of course the only bad thing about being out this morning is that Owen did not get much of a nap. He didn't fall asleep until noon on our way home, when he just recently started napping from about 10:30 until noon. And he only got about 10 minutes of sleep because he woke up as soon as I brought him in from the car. So many times I have wished that it was ok to just leave him sleeping in the car, because he never stays asleep once I get him out. And for the last 3 days he has taken good naps, at least an hour and a half at a time as opposed to the usual 30 minutes. So this afternoon he didn't nap as well and I'm worried that I screwed that up with just one morning of disruption to his schedule. Oh well, I said that with this child I was not going to be a slave to a schedule, that I was going to be more flexible for my own sanity. So I am going to try and stick to that. And its for Emmett's benefit too. I can't keep him in the house all the time just so that his brother can nap on a schedule. Its not fair to him.
Well I do believe I have actually finished a blog post without interruption. Awesome!

I choose to blog!
Both Emmett and Owen are napping right now. There are a million things I should do, and a million things I want to do. I cannot possibly do them all, and so I choose to blog.
Its amazing how fast both of my boys are growing and changing. Owen is learning to sit up and starting to eat rice cereal. He skipped right over rolling over. He can't go either way, and absolutely hates being on his tummy. I know that's supposed to be an important milestone, and if this was Emmett, I would have been freaking out. But that's one of the wonderful things about the second child...you just don't worry as much about every little thing. Lately I've been doing a lot of comparing between what Owen is like and what Emmett was like at the same age. They have some things in common and other things are very different. They certainly both have their own personalities. Emmett was slightly bigger and started getting teeth a little sooner. Owen has two bottom front teeth right now, and it makes his smile just that much cuter. He hasn't been sleeping well for about 2 months now. A good night is when he gets up twice. A great night is when he only gets up once. He never sleeps through the night anymore. And a bad night is when its more than twice. Then there are horrible nights where he won't let me put him down and I get to sleep in a chair holding him. But I'm pretty sure those nights were only due to the cold that he had. We haven't had a night like that since. He won't seem to fall into a nap schedule. He gets sleepy for his first nap around 10:00 - 10:30 most mornings. On a good day that first nap lasts for an hour or more. But a lot of days it lasts about 30 minutes. When that happens, he's ready for his next nap between 1:30 and 2:00, which is good because that's when Emmett naps. But it also means that unless that nap is a really long one, he will need a third nap around 4:30 - 5:00. And that one is usually short and leaves him a bit grumpy (but less grumpy than with no nap at all). On the days when his first nap is long, it means that he is awake during most of Emmett's nap, and then needs another one about 3:00 when I usually have to get Emmett up. If we let Emmett sleep any longer, which he will do if left alone, he won't fall asleep at night until 11:00 sometimes (after laying down around 9:30). So on those days I get zero time to myself all day, and that is hard. The other issue is that if Owen naps in the morning and in the afternoon around Emmett's nap time, we can't leave the house all day. So if I choose to take them anywhere in the morning, Owen gets a short nap in the car and/or stroller. These are just some of the things that make life with two kids hard.
But the good things outweigh the bad most days. I love when Emmett plays with Owen. Owen already worships the ground Emmett walks on. He smiles and laughs at him, watches whatever he does, and wants to be wherever he is. Emmett is not always the best role model, but he's only 3 years old. We have talked to him about the great responsibility he has as Owen's big brother. For the most part it goes right over his head, but I know it will start to sink in bit by bit. Emmett impresses me constantly with his ability and intelligence. He has a memory like an elephant. He has only been on this earth for 3 years, but he will recall memories from before he was 2 just out of the blue. He knows all his letters, numbers, colors, shapes. He even knows some of the lowercase letters too, which we are just starting to work on. His imagination is limitless. His favorite toys are still cars and trucks, with trains coming in as a close third. He has a lot of the cars from Disney's Cars the movie (his all time favorite movie) and he narrates as he plays and its so much fun to listen and watch him when he doesn't know I'm paying attention. I'm considering starting him in preschool just a few mornings a week, but I'm not sure how to make it work right now. With me staying home we really can't afford it and with Owen I still can't work even part time while he would be at school. Instead I try to find opportunities to get him together with other kids. I'm thinking of getting a membership to the Children's museum so that we have somewhere to get out of the house when its cold or rainy besides the mall playground and Barnes & Noble. Its amazing how difficult it has been to find other stay at home moms who want to have playdates. Even a local mothers group that I joined has failed to provide me with playdate opportunities. We go to playgrounds to find other kids, and luckily Emmett is very social and makes friends quickly. But then we rarely ever see the same kids again. And when I do meet other moms at parks I am too shy to ask for phone numbers. Its like dating all over again.
I started this post about a week ago and stopped because the baby woke up. And of course I never found the time to finish it. I've finally decided that I am going to have to start posting these things unfinished whenever I get interrupted, otherwise I will never post at all. So you may start to see posts that seem unresolved or even stop mid sentence. But the point of this blog is for me to write about my life as it is right now, and constant interruptions are just a normal part of that. When you have two children, someone always needs something. I can't imagine what its like for anyone with more than two. Anyway, this is all I have time for today.

I can't imagine what its like for anyone with more than two. Anyway, this is all I have time for today.
