Spring is finally here!!! This winter was especially long, right?! Its so nice to be out of the house and into the sun shine. On Saturday mornings Wil and Phil go to ‘soccer shots’ – which is a coach-led, kid-friend soccer activity, which involves no actual soccer. They do kick things, occasionally, but it’s mostly chaos. Its more like a 30 minutes of soccer-themed activities for 2-year olds and they get stickers at the end of each session.
My mom’s group has expanded into happy hours on the occasional weekend. Its so nice to have a kid-friendly social event on the calendar. Phil and I used to try to go out to dinner with the kids – but would be totally stressed out about Wil spilling water on the table, or Evie having a melt down. When we’re in a kid-friendly environment, the kids entertain themselves and the houses are pretty much kid-proofed, so you dont feel mortified if your kid spills something. And we can enjoy a beer and adult conversation for a few hours.
Phil and I have also tried to have a few more date nights on the calendar. Its so awesome having a nanny who can also babysit on the weekend. She already knows their routine. They are comfortable with her. And Phil and I can completely enjoy our night knowing they are in good hands. We can have a nice meal without worrying about spilling anything! We actually have a date night tonight! We are planning to go to the Os game as long as it doesnt rain. This will be my first Os game without a baby on my lap!
We’ve also been enjoying going to our new garden every weekend! But that deserves its own post. Stay tuned…
