I know I haven't posted much on here lately and I think it is because we have just been finding our groove for the fall. We are all about a routine around our house and find life just flows so much better with one. Elton and I have been taking advantages of our mornings together when Caleb is at school. We have been taking 3 mile walks on the canyon enjoying the cooler weather and of course getting a coffee at our (my) favorite place: Moxie Java. This morning I wore my pedometer to see how much ground we covered and by the time we picked Caleb up, I had put on just over 11 000 steps.
Elton settles down perfectly after lunch for his nap and Caleb has finally transitioned out of his nap. He loves focusing on his building skills, watching "How It's Made", and working on reading skills while Elton is asleep. He is bringing home work sheets from school every week with stickers and his teacher says he is doing great. We are also trying to take advantage of our new library cards with reading lots of books. The last 2 weeks we have been making it to story time at the library and our goal is to either make it to story time or rhyme time each week.
I have been meal planning our dinners a week ahead. On the days Dan works he doesn't get home until at least 8:30. The goal has been for him to be able to tuck the boys in bed when he gets home unless they need to be in bed by 8 or unless he is even later getting home.
Elton loves calling Caleb "Eeoh" even though we know from the rest of his vocabulary he could say Caleb if he wanted to. It seems like a nickname of endearment for him and we have told Caleb it is Elton's special name for him. Caleb is very excited about his 5th birthday coming up and Halloween. Also, my parents will be coming down for a visit in a few weeks.
