Menlo Park and settling the boys

Comment Published at 01:0101:011 comments1 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Okay we have been here for 5 days now and I have pretty much settled the boys in - lol

For example:
- driving to toysRus and buying a Cars movie tent, carpark garage toy with cars, Cars movie kids table and chairs, cars movie (since ours doesnt play in dvd players over here, arr), Red the fire engine from Cars movie and a soft couch for our little one to watch this Cars movie and no unfortunately I had to settle with a thomas the tank engine kids couch, I couldn't find a cars kids couch - lol...but our little one has found this little couch a great day time sleep place (fantastic for us)...

I have found out that he is growing up, like at daycare they like to nap on the floor on a little mattress... has progressed to wanting to rest on his little couch that folds out flat on the floor. I put on the kids TV, he has taken a fancy to monsters (from the 'Thats Not My Monster') book and thinks Spongebob squarepants is a monster...so lukily he was on the TV. It was about 3pm (perfect time for a quiet nap) and he crashed in about 10mins - so cute!!!

Whats great it that he only slept for 45mins, but I think next time I'll put a light sheet on him, as they do at daycare, to keep him from getting too cold or too hot with anything thicker!

Anyway, now that our little one is all settled (forgot to mention we also bought him a Cars Movie four wheel push a long car, whilst a new red bobbie car is being shipped from amazon) so much to do to keep bubs occupied - just jokes...oh and now he's wanting to be on the computer like mum and dad...so we got him a little computer a a toy version...definitely pick that up from joeyjo's kids!!!

So now I managed to get our little one sorted (as he was going battey in this apartment as he is used to a house) that daddy could be sorted and come out of his grumpiness to be able to go onto his computer...although I did remind him firmly that family needs t be settled in first, so we needed to be parents first then business after...mind you that night we were on our computers and i was saying ever so nicely that it didnt take long at all t get into tech stuff....the wizardry of women!!! hehe...

Wow

That's alot to go through eh? You are such a brave woman Rachel. I am glad that everything is going well so far. It's gotta be hard moving from part of the country to the other. But you guys did it! That is just amazing, I wish I was able to do something like that.
I want to take Cadence to the states when she's a bit older to remember.

Wow that's alot of Cars LOL!! Cadence loves cars, she has not seen the movie yet but for her birthday we bought her a toy car because she likes to take her bottle, sippy cup and everything else that will move across the carpet and think it's a 'car'.. So that's what we did and she loves them. I can't believe she's 1 already, my little girl is all grown up!!

I hope that everything else just slides into place for you Rachel. You guys deserve the best! Good luck!!
