PS. She's playing with the gift Wyatt picked out. He said she wanted "something with wheels" - who do you think he was really thinking about? ;)

No pictures today....I don't have any. After I took that one of Wyatt on Monday, I didn't take another single picture of either kid. :( Guess that's what happens when you have 2 hours to jam in supper, bathtime and bedtime.
Can't say that I'm enjoying being back at work. I think a lot of people misunderstand when I complain (yes, I will openly admit I am complaining) about my job. It's not that I am against working. I WANT to work. I just don't want to work where I work. I won't get into all the details, but it's not a challenging position for me (unless you count trying not to fire off a stream of profanities at your co-workers a challenge), it does not pay well enough for it to really be worth it for me to work 40 hours a week, and all the "behind the scenes" goings on is quite enough for me.
Wyatt is not adapting well to being in daycare full time. I know there are aspects he enjoys. I know he is making some friends there. I know his daycare providers are doing their best to accommodate his noise sensitivities, but it's hard with 6 or 7 other small kids. Who love to make noise. Paige apparently is a little social butterfly, is loved by all the other girls there (and some boy who kept putting the moves [read = hugging] on her today). I've noticed that when I get home though, she is very clingy (which is unlike her), but I have more faith that she will adapt. Wyatt I'm not so sure about. His behaviour at home is getting increasingly outrageous (tons of tantrums, pushing, shoving, hitting, head butting, etc). He's exhausted when he gets home and has had some stomach issues the past two days. I'm just not sure what to do. There are lots of situations where I know he is uncomfortable (but I know he will benefit from the experience), so I try to help him navigate through those. I don't know about this situation. My gut is telling me something is off, but it has only been a week, so maybe we all need a little time to get used to this.
Or not. Cause if I can find a way to get water from a stone, I am definitely blowing that popsicle stand.

Wyatt had his first soccer practice. It was just as you would imagine soccer with 4 and 5 year olds would be. Kids running all over the place, soccer balls all over the field...Josh stayed on the field with Wyatt for the most part, but it looked like he was having fun with the other kids.

We went for the world's longest walk today. Not distance wise, just time wise. It took us twice as long as usual, stopping because Paige threw her cup, because Wyatt lost his hat, because Paige threw her soother, because it was too windy, because Paige threw her cup, because Wyatt wanted to walk, because Paige threw her soother...I think you get the idea.
Oh, and we saw a tractor.

The kids spent the whole day at daycare today, a test run for when I return to work on Monday. I got to go clothes shopping (hmm...somehow ended up a size bigger than when I got pregnant, imagine that), had lunch alone, and went grocery shopping (zzzz....). Paige apparently refused to nap for the entire day, and Wyatt got bit, but otherwise I think it was okay. They each made me a painting for Mother's Day, which is awesome, because in his 2 years at the other daycare, he never brought anything home. As you can see, Paige made me a flower (I'm assuming with some help), and Wyatt painted a slimy monster truck (and moon and sun) for me. :D
