We've been busy bees since Jay left on Monday! We hung out with our friends and ran errands and had some adventures in babysitting! We also started our Love and Logic Parenting class, and so far I really like it. L&L is all about helping kids make choices, and be accountable for those choices. It's about responsibility, and helping parents use effective strategies for behavior. I won't be able to use any of the techniques for awhile, but I like to have as much in my parenting arsenal as possible.Wednesday was our three-year-anniversary, and the first one Jay has missed! We spent it with Jenn and Addie eating Thai food in Wurzburg after dropping the dogs off, so I can't complain! I did get to talk to Jay at least, so I'm thankful for that.
Thursday we took Hayden's first trip to Poland! We like to shop for pottery there in a small town just across the German/Polish border. Four of us packed up four kids in two cars and hit the road around 7am. We made pretty good time, stopping to feed and change the babies and stretch our legs. I also got to test out our new Navigon, which I'm already in love with! How did we live here almost three years without a navigation system? I have no idea. It was a long day, with us getting home after midnight. Hayden did really well, but by the end of the evening was tired of his car seat.
Today he has his first low-grade fever :-( He is eating and playing fine, and seems to be in a good mood. He's flushed and a little tired though, so I'm keeping a close watch on him. Bless his heart, he's traveled out!
