Another Busy Day!
After sending the oldest off to school, the other two and I headed to BJ's and were back again by 9:45. Not bad, especially after spending a whopping $241. What the hell did I buy?!? Sometimes I have those weeks where we need all of the high ticket items at once, like diapers, Good Nights, wipes, hand soap, shampoo, etc. And I did buy a pack of Good Nights for my neighbor to save her a trip.
We might be out of the Good Nights soon...the middle child made it all the way through the night dry. Super Hubby and I are going to start getting him up around 11:00 to go to the bathroom. That worked very well for the oldest. We had found that he was wetting the bed between midnight and 1am. His body wasn't waking up when it needed to go. The doctor said that this was normal for his age. That young children have a long period of very heavy sleep. As they get older, that period of heavy sleep gets shorter so their bodies begin telling them to get up to go. We started getting him up when we went to bed. He never even woke up when we did that. We used to carry him into the bathroom, tell him to pee and he would, and the bed wetting stopped. We did that for a long time, until we forgot to do it several days in a row and noticed that he was getting up on his own around 3am or 4am to pee.
I had to move up to the next size diaper for the baby. They cost the same, but you get fewer diapers in a box. Chunky Monkey is already in a size five and she is only 10 1/2 months old. She has been in a four since she was four months though, so hopefully she will be in a five for a long time. They only go up to size six!
When we got home from shopping, I finally folded and boxed up the 4T summer clothes that my middle son has outgrown. Now I can send them on to my friend for her son. Now I just have to box up the 3-6 month clothes that have been sitting in the box waiting to be folded for an embarrassing amount of time (considering she is wearing 12 month clothes exclusively now and it is time to get the 6-9 out of her closet). And I have to fold and box up the size 6 summer clothes that the oldest has outgrown. That is a job that doesn't take much time but keeps falling to the bottom of the To Do List because it doesn't have a high priority. So they have been sitting for a while, accumulating dust. If I wait much longer, I will have to wash them again!
Maybe I should do that now, before my middle child needs to get up from his nap...then again, maybe I should sit on my ass and watch TV. Hmm, watch TV, fold clothes. Which would you choose? Me, too. That is probably why they are still sitting in boxes, unfolded in the hallway!
