Monday Mornings

I'm not a fan of Monday mornings. Too much stuff to do. Too early to get up. Packing bottles and food for daycare, lunch and snack for me, it all equals ick! I have a habit of forgetting things on Monday too. This morning I forgot part of my pump and had to run home to get it.

My legs are a bit sore this morning. My right heel is hurting a bit too much. I have a short bike on the calendar for today so that is good at least my feet get a rest. The bad thing is that I normally work until 4:00pm but I had a last minute meeting pop onto my calendar from 4-5pm. Who does that on A Monday?

Yesterday we hit a park after nap then got home and the neighbor girl was coming outside. Sam wanted to play but once they were together she wasn't interested. Sam just wanted daddy to push her in the swing. I don't think she grasps playing with other kids yet. She had multiple meltdowns when she was forced to share her swing.

Brett had a good day. He was his typically happy self. After dinner he was laying around on the floor and was cooing and talking like crazy. I should have taken a video.

The pic above is from Easter morning.  We have started a tradition of orange cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Easter morning and although these were straight out of the refrigerated section courtesy of Pillsbury Sam still loved them and after our 9.5 mile runs so did Travis & I.

Sam peed her pants while we were at Pizza Ranch for lunch today.  Fun times.  I asked her if she had to go potty as we were going in and of course she said no.  Then about 10 minutes later she was kneeling beside me at the table and pee started running down her legs.  Lovely!  Better yet, we didn't have any replacement clothes for her so she squeezed into Brett's size 9 month brown pants.  Good thing she isn't too big.  They actually fit ok but they come down to just below her knees.  The kind of look like short tights.

Brett has moved up to stage 2 baby food - he generally starts the day with nursing, then around 9 am has 2T of oatmeal cereal with 1/2 of a stage 1 or 1/3 of a stage 2 fruit or a quarter of a mashed up banana and 5 oz of milk, then for lunch he's been eating close to a full 3.5 ounce container of veggies followed by approx 5 oz of milk, an afternoon snack of 5 oz of milk and then dinner of 3T cereal with fruit and approx 4 oz of milk then a before bed bottle of 5 - 6 oz of milk.  I should say, that is his schedule when at home.  At day care they seem to think he is starving all of the time and feed him 6-7 oz of milk in addition to food at 9, noon & 3pm.  I don't see how they get him to keep it all down, he is always spitting stuff back up for me if he eats that much.

Training is going ok.  I still cannot believe we are signed up for an Olympic Tri on 5/20.  What crazy person talked us into that.  The distance isn't the issue, the water temp is going to be.  I'm not looking forward to 60 ish degree water and I'm sure I will hyperventilate and have a really hard time settling in.  Hopefully I calm myself down enough to finish the swim.  I'v thought about buying a full sleeve wetsuit to wear for the race and for the 1/2 Ironman in July but I really don't think I'm going to do another 1/2 and I don't plan on doing another in the freezing cold water.  That said, I am a bit of a wuss so we will see....

This week is a rest week.  We each ran 6 miles on the treadmill this morning.  Travis ran first and then I followed at around 7:30am.  I got some new shoes yesterday - Nike Zoom Vomero and tried them out.  After a mile I was begging for my Newtons.  I wish I didn't like my Newtons so much - they are too expensive.  I'm keeping track of the mileage I put on them so I can see if the cost is justified.
