Guess life got in the way.  Things have been so hectic lately, I hardly have time to think.  ACE started today.  C started Karate and B started guitar.  The karate teacher is just too laid back to command any kind of respect.  He doesn’t really have a way with kids either.  C seems to enjoy it so far though so I guess I can’t complain.  But if I were to enroll my kid in a real karate dojo, I definitely would not go to his.

B starting guitar is cool except I think the ACE coordinator really should have scheduled guitar on a different day.  Monday and Thursdays are music days and the likelihood of kids having another musical instrument to carry is high.  So not only does B have to bring a violin, he needs to bring a guitar also.  It will be ok though.  Since I have to bring C in for karate anyway, I’ll just have to drop off the guitar each time as well.  What a pain.

We’ve been cooking brown rice the last two nights.  It’s really not that bad at all.  I really want to eat healthier.

I met a woman in the park, Ashley.  She was the nanny of this little 18 month old girl whose name I couldn’t even spell out if you asked me.  They’re Italian.  She was pretty cool, we chatted for a bit.  J was really cute.  I wanted him to get used to sand seeing as how we’re in California now.  I let him eat sand once so that he would know not to do it again.  It did discourage him for a bit so that was ok.  I think he’ll forget next time though and do it again.  This was a big change from the last time I let him sit in the sand.  Last time he didn’t like the feel of sand on his toes.  This time, he was practically swimming it and had a lot of fun swishing it about.  He’s so cute.  I need to bring a camera next time.  I could only take a photo from my cell.  Oh well next time.   I need to think about how to schedule his naps though because he was pretty cranky today from lack of sleep and now I’m cranky from having to deal with it.
