Weekend Update
Big things happening these last few days. First off we had a BLAST this weekend. Took a little day trip to the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi. It was about an hour and a half drive. Our first stop was the Rush River Produce farm, where we picked blueberries on this amazingly beautiful farm. It was admist rolling hills and nothing but other farms, took some dirt roads to get to it. I wasn’t sure if we would be able to logisitically pick blueberries with a toddler, but oh boy did this boy hold his own! Once he realized that he could get them off the bushes like Mommy and Daddy were, and not take them out of our basket, he was OFF! I re-directed him to only eat the blue ones and not the ones on the ground (which he mostly obeyed). He was so freaking cute you could cry! They had a Little Tikes play thing which we called the playground, which he went back to a couple of times and then could get re-directed to go back to the blueberries. Next was the “new town,” a teenie little town similar to an Adirondack town, we had a great brunch and bought a little pie to-go before heading off to a little sandy beach the next town down, where Max and I went swimming, the water was a little gross for my liking and there was no way I was going under, but Max loved it - ”the beach” and the “mississippi river.” I don’t feel like phonetically spelling all of Max’s words, his language comprehension and his ability to process thoughts and express those thoughts is really incredible, he seems so mature!
I’ll add the pictures in the next couple of days as I will have a little time, for Max started SCHOOL today! Well, daycare. And at the end of the day, I think he really enjoyed it. It didn’t help though that he was a big crab when he woke up today. He cried and sobbed while we were there getting settled. I forgot his soymilk, sunscreen and diaper cream, so ran back to get those and when i checked back in, (through the one way glass) he was sitting with one of the teachers, Ms Megan and doing that “shoulder shake and deep breathing” after you have cried very hard and are trying to settle yourself back down. It was all very adorable and there are so many more thoughts to get down, but I wanted to get the weekend addressed first and then I can talk more about school. For now, I’ll get this stuff out and then get some pictures updated soon.
