the adventures of malloy and rex

time has gotten away from me! time for an update!

monday
malloy went to school while rex and i hung out. nothing too exciting - we had a low key day after school. rex is back to not napping :(

writing her letter to santa.

"i want siamese cats. love malloy" she started on the bottom and worked her way up this time

tuesday

had another lazy day - trying to recoup from our colds. we did venture out to wegmans in the morning and hobby lobby in the afternoon.

rex put his boots on. he was being silly and had one of his boots on and one of malloy's. instead of getting mad, malloy joined in and put on one of rex's. they tromped through wegman's like this!

wednesday

i co-oped in malloy's class this morning. rex didn't nap again. in the afternoon, i rearranged the kids rooms so that they were away from the outer walls. it's getting much too cold!! rex was up a few times in the night because his head was cold - poor kiddo! malloy took a very long time going to bed tonight. i think it's when she naps, she's very well rested and just isn't tired!!! i think we may have to do away with naps - BOOO!

her favorite place to hang out during free play

pomegranate - our new favorite snack!

today we went to the post office to mail grandpa don his birthday cookies and then headed off to the museum! the kids were so excited to go! they had so much fun!! we left after the fire alarm went off for the second time -there were construction workers doing work on the other side of the museum. they triggered the alarms twice. i figured it was going to keep happening, so we headed home. malloy wasn't happy about leaving and got a little teary, but she pulled it together quickly. when we got home, we tried having quiet time instead of nap time. it went ok. they played in their rooms for the most part. i set a timer in malloy's room and told her she could come out when it went off. she came out for help with dress up stuff and then towards the end of the hour, she was just screaming in her room. she wanted help finding the other part of her belle dress up dress. i told her that it was still quiet time and that the timer will go off soon. rex was playing great in his room until malloy started screaming. then we wanted out, too! they took a bath before dinner, had dinner, and were in bed by 6:30. malloy put up a tiny fight, got out 3 times within one minutes, but went right to sleep once her nightlight got taken away!
