Well, week two down and I love it all so far. Oscar and I had a great week last week. Monday to Wednesday we had classes in the morning and then on Thursday was our visit to Grandma Drummond day and then Friday was a relax day. The one kicker to the end of the week was snowsuit shopping for Oscar on Friday night. We went with Joe wear after pricing out the different options and seeing what was available and what would work for what we wanted. A lot of Oscar’s clothes come from the Joe line at Loblaw’s and they are a great price for clothes because your little one is going to grow right through it in next to no time. I find some stores have next to no selection and then others have huge Joe wear sections that offer the whole range of clothing. The website http://www.joefresh.com/en/category/kids doesn’t show half of the items available in store and even the adult line of clothes is reasonably priced.
Morning naps are a bit of a challenge for me to get Oscar to take at the moment. We really only have 2 mornings, Thursday and Friday, where we aren’t on the road or at a class at the time he is scheduled to be napping. So, unless he naps on the way home from class or to class, it’s a bit of a challenge. The one thing he seems to be doing is a bit of self-weaning. I am finding during the week he doesn’t really want his morning milk and the times I have gotten him to nap, it’s without taking the milk. Although for the afternoon nap, the milk is a definite must-have for him to go to sleep. This is good in a way, as that means that the supply of milk I have in the freezer will last me longer.
On a final note for this week, I have to say that the one thing I truly love is when I go in to get him from his nap or first thing in the morning. I love the smile I get from him and the warmth when I pick him up and he puts his arms around my neck. It’s so worth it. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world.
