I am behind on this. I need to get STARTED on 2012. And 2013.<br />
<br />

Kids were allowed to check out of school after the event, and Aidric chose to come home with us rather than stay. I think he was incredibly excited about the prospect of presents awaiting him at home. He was soooo excited to open his new Jr. sized tennis racket from G&P Porras! Also a big bag of balls! He looooves to play tennis but has always used Chris and my old rackets. To have one his size will be so helpful.<br />

Juliet and Mac had picked out a few books for him at Barnes and Noble. He JUST started reading chapter books on his own, so the new Magic Treehouse book actually elicited a small squeal. (and when I say reading chapter books on his own, let me be clear, it is painstakingly slow, but he's doing it!)<br />

We had him close his eyes and led him outside for his last surprise of the day. A soccer goal- it's actually a "return" net, so the ball bounces back. We figure we can turn it around and use it as a regular goal too.<br />

Back inside to open his card/gift from Grandma and Grandpa Sytsma. A check and a note to tell him to go shopping for a new bike! He's soooo excited to get a new "big kid" bike like his BFF Benjamin. (He rode almost 6 miles on a bike too small for him last weekend!)<br />

After presents, we headed out for an early dinner. A new restaurant opened up just down the street from us. The kids have been watching it be built over the last few months and have been sooo anxious to go. Of course, Aidric chose it for his birthday dinner. <br />

After dinner, Aidric and Jules were sitting at the counter while Aidric
read her a new Piggie and Elephant book. Mac climbed up between them
and was cracking us up. He kept putting an arm around both of their
shoulders and squeezing them in tight while looking at me and saying
"cheeeeese!!!!" <br />

Overall, a pretty great day and we're looking forward to celebrating with a few of his BFF's on Sunday when we take them out for mini golf/laser tag and frozen yogurt at Menchies!

No, that is not a typo. I'll start 2012 soon, but for now, I can't wait to get the 2011 book in my hands. It's 150 pages of pictures and text- most of it taken from this blog. And making the book now, 2+ years after most of the events happened, I was so grateful for this blog. That I could come here and copy and paste my words to accurately describe the time. I would never have remembered so much of it!! And that's why, although I do have the 365 blog going right now as well, I hope to get back into keeping track of more things here.<br />

My initial impression of the place was that it was overrated and overpriced. However, the kids LOVED it. It’s basically a miniature ‘city’… library, post office, gas station,
grocery store, homes, theater, restaurants, doctor’s/dentist offices,
the beach, a pond, farm, etc.<br />
<br />
Juliet was a big fan of the stage. Aidric didn't set foot on it once. Love their different personalities. She literally had to be pulled off. <br />

We could have stayed a lot longer, but Mac woke up with a cold and he deteriorated as the morning went by. When we got to the stream, he just wanted me to hold him and lay with his head on my chest. This is sooo not like him. He barely ate anything for lunch, the runny nose got worse, his eyes looked horrible and he was just so lethargic. I didn't manage to get any pictures of the remainder of the day there with him in my arms. We just snuggled while the other two explored the garden, grocery store, farm and workshop. Luckily, they were excited enough by the pool at the hotel that they were happy to leave despite how much fun they were having. <br />
<br />
Of course, Mac fell asleep on the way to the hotel. I think he lasted about 45 seconds into the drive actually. Once we got our key and got into the room, I tried to get him to stay asleep on the bed, but he wanted nothing to do with that. I gave up and we went to the pool.<br />
<br />

I got exactly two pictures taken at the pool and then put my phone in my bag so I could be on full-on Mac mode. He and I stayed in the jacuzzi and he made several attempts to face dive into the water. The other picture I took was of him, but his eyes were closed :) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCZWwVip34TmUFk1LiLWZNDH5n9LqYaNtAJ0mAQmmk9-w-QzRFMCMwC7vhAAHvBQ1DnOtS9HIPRvH-bNz1G9XiJlArWOG2XRy2BDzof3uKhr1v0kyJWDmWQHth0Ygmda1oSQ47nXYaLZ8/s1600/IMG_4305-2w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCZWwVip34TmUFk1LiLWZNDH5n9LqYaNtAJ0mAQmmk9-w-QzRFMCMwC7vhAAHvBQ1DnOtS9HIPRvH-bNz1G9XiJlArWOG2XRy2BDzof3uKhr1v0kyJWDmWQHth0Ygmda1oSQ47nXYaLZ8/s640/IMG_4305-2w.jpg" width="456" /> </a></div>

After swimming for almost 2 hours, we headed back to the room to get ready for dinner. I was still hopeful that Chris would be able to join us, but knew that it was a real possibility he would still be working. We did a quick shopping errand and then decided to eat at Wahoos. Chris showed up just as we were finishing our meals. He took one look at Coramc and asked us to go home. He was only half joking :) Turns out he also had an phone call scheduled for 7:00 the next morning. Not ideal circumstances with us all in the same room. In the end, we decided it would make more sense for us to drive home. So, he helped me pack up the car and off we went. I took a quick picture of 3 very tired kiddos with daddy before we took off. </div>

This guy wasn't a huge fan of the "toddler/ 3 and under" section. He was actually pretty ticked off every time I tried to get him to play in there. Only exception was this slide..especially once he discovered going down head first, on his belly. <br />

At one point, I was standing there talking to Michelle and Cormac was right at our feet. I looked down and he was gone. We both glanced around and he was nowhere. Michelle went out to see if he had somehow escaped the play area, I looked around in the other direction. Nowhere to be found. Knowing my son, I got down on hands and knees and looked UNDER the entire structure. Sure enough...there he was. This is clearly not a space for people. Trying to get him out, his head barely fit through! <br />

After watering the garden and watching a show or two, it was dinner/baths and off to bed! Day #2 of Spring Break was deemed even more fun than Day 1. We'll see what happens next :) <br />

I planned a few new 'activities' for the kids to do at home and a few day outings. Quick rundown of Day 1.<br />
<br />
Breakfast :)<br />
<br />
Overnight oatmeal pancakes, strawberries from the CSA, morning star sausage, milk and fresh squeezed OJ.<br />
<br />

Post breakfast activity. I wrote out the alphabet for Juliet and our address and my phone number for Aidric. (He really needs to learn these!!) They traced over with q-tips and paint. <br />

We headed upstairs to get dressed and I took these with my iphone. I love impromptu reading dates. Here, they are listening to a Christmas Hallmark book my mom bought them. It has her voice recorded, reading it to them and they looooove it. They've memorized most of it and often sing the Frosty song throughout the day, and then at the end, they say the part she added, "maybe when you come to Indiana this year, Juliet, we can build a snowman". So cute!! <br />

Fave babysitter, Alyssa, came for a couple of hours and I ran some errands and went for a run. On this CRAZY windy day the waves were just insane! <br />

While Cormac napped, I surprised these two with perler/fuse beads, which I had just picked up while they were with Alyssa. They used these during our Santa Barbara vacation with the Nords and really enjoyed them then. I was not expecting almost TWO HOURS worth of enjoyment from them though! <br />

When Cormac woke up, Aidric and Jules were still busy with the beads, so he and I headed out to water the garden. This is one of his favorite parts of our day. Each time, I only fill his watering can up with about 2 cups of water. He lugs it over to the garden and dumps it all in the same spot. Each time. I think I had planted cilantro there. Safe to say the cilantro might not grow this year. <br />

Juliet had dance class and then we came home for hot dogs on the grill. Read two chapters of The Box Car Children: Surprise Island and tucked them in. A day well spent! </div>

not so fun things) he's up to for the last month or so. It's taken me
way too long to get this posted and I'm sure it's not complete, but he'd
be 2 by the time I'm really ready to post it, so here goes!<br />
<br />
<div>
Faves foods: </div>
<div>
Yogurt</div>
<div>
Smoothies "moooothie"</div>
<div>
Chicken</div>
<div>
pizza</div>
<div>
Fave books:</div>
<div>
Llama Llama Red Pajama (yama yama, as he calls it)</div>
<div>
lift and flap (Grandma and Me & Grandpa and Me are faves)</div>
<div>
That's Not My Puppy</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fave activities:</div>
<div>
climbing, climbing and more climbing</div>
<div>
watering the garden</div>
<div>
being tickled</div>
<div>
reading
books (so glad this is on the list...I wasn't sure he was going to be
as into reading as his siblings, but he loves it now!)</div>
<div>
snacking </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Little things to remember:</div>
<div>
The
way he raises one shoulder while leaning his head in that direction and
grinning adorably to get out of whatever trouble he was about to get
in.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The "ah" he adds to the end of random words. "phone-a"
"no-a" "more-a" "mommy-a". Although when he says yes the "ah" goes at the
beginning. "Ah-yes"<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
How he does something ornery and then very pointedly looks at you
and says "ha ha ha...hee hee hee" with perfect annunciation on each
letter..piggie and elephant style :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
How
fearless he is. He
wants to do everything the big kids do and he wants to do it just like
they do. He is never happy to be left out of any activity and will often
try to worm his way in. He constantly climbs up onto one of the kitchen
stools while I have my back turned. and I never can't laugh when I turn
around to see him just sitting up at the counter like he's ready to
have his lunch. He's recently decided that riding his little "coaster"
while holding on isn't nearly enough fun. So, once he pushes off and is
going down the ramp, he lets go of the steering wheel. And falls off and
rolls over onto the ground every single time. And gets up laughing and
ready to go again. <br />
<br />
His empathy. The other day, I was kneeling next to juliet, while
she screamed about something (she was in trouble) and he pushed his way
in between us to give her a hug. Another night, aidric was crying b/c we had
just finished a facetime conversation with chris and he felt like his
turn wasn't long enough. Cormac walked up, put his arms around him and
his head up against his chest. <br />
<br />
His manners. This kid is so polite that the other day while I was
clipping his finger nails, I got a little "daint doo mommy" after each nail.
When I caught him playing in the toilet this morning, he immediately and
repeatedly said, "sahh eee mommy". (Sorry mommy)</div>
<div>
ETA: in the last week, he has thanked me for changing his diaper and washing his hands</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sooo
helpful. He really loves to help. We bought him his own broom and
dustpan for Christmas bc he is so into using ours. He loves to help put
the dishes away and even separates measuring spoons from regular spoons.
Unfortunately when I'm folding laundry he insists on helping
by taking piles I have folded, walking into a room with them and
sticking them in any random drawer.<br />
<br /></div>
Oh, he's bossy.
If I'm telling Aidric and Juliet to do something or not do something, he
immediately repeats the instruction in an incredibly bossy voice.
"Ju-yet- NO!!!" "Aidric!! Um'ere" (come here)Stacihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09194325779135089520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223816994845928210.post-67006848000405111882013-04-04T13:43:00.001-07:002013-04-05T07:03:32.141-07:00Cormac, continued<br />
<div>
Cormac, cotinued....<br />
<br />
He's funny and he knows he's funny. He does things for a laugh and often repeats whatever gets the biggest laugh.The other day he grabbed both of my cheeks in his hands, looked right into my eyes and said "chubby". I died laughing. Juliet often does this to him, much to his dislike. Now that he knows it was funny, he does it over and over. (and honestly, it's funny each time b/c now he laughs hysterically while he's doing it :) </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday, he called my bluff. We were in his room and needed to leave to pick up Aidric. Our convo:</div>
<div>
me: come on buddy, it's time to go</div>
<div>
c: no</div>
<div>
me: well, mommy's leaving now (I get up and walk out of his room)</div>
<div>
c: ok, bye bye mommy. luh you. (shuts the door to his room with him in and me out)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

And more importantly, they both absolutely loved it. When asked if they liked skiing better than Disneyland, skiing won for Aidric and Disneyland only slightly edged out skiing for Juliet and her reasoning was that she got to have cotton candy at Disney :)<br />
<br />
We arrived at Big Bear on Friday afternoon. Despite the 65 degree temps, we were SO lucky to have snow at our cabin!! Many yards were snow free, but since our cabin was set up on an incline and the yard hadn't been touched, it was full of snow! The kids were soooooo excited. And I was so relieved since they had been discussing what they would do first in the snow the whole way up there. (Aidric was voting for snow ball fight and Juliet wanted to make a snowman). They played outside for about an hour before we pulled them in for dinner.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning, we took a quick 5 minute drive to Bear Mountain Ski Resort. They both had 2 hours of instruction in the morning and then lunch with us. They each took a turn going up the smallest chair lift with Chris and then went back to ski school for 2 hours in the afternoon. I was a tiny bit disappointed in the ski school at first. They just didn't appear to be doing much. The slope was just a TINY decline they seemed to be practically shuffling down rather than learning to ski. But, they must have been learning something b/c they did awesome when Chris took them down the mountain. <br />
<br />
This morning, we had to be checked out of our cabin by 11:00, so I dropped just Chris and Aidric off at the resort. They had about 2 hours to ski while we packed up the cabin and checked out. We then met up with them on the mountain and Juliet was ready to go! Aidric had learned to maneuver getting off and on the lift without Chris's help by then, so Chris was able to take them both up with him. The first time they all came down, Juliet was holding Chris's hand and they were going relatively slow. The second time they came down, Mary pointed out a little girl in pink snowpants and we both said it looked like Juliet, but it couldn't be, b/c this little girl was skiing on her own...and skiing well! The closer she got though, we realized it was Juliet! I couldn't believe how well she was doing! Aidric was just a little in front of her, so excited to tell me how he was skiing backwards and on one foot.<br />
<br />
It was just a wonderful, amazing weekend. So fun to do something with the kids that we could all enjoy together. Can't wait for Mac to be old enough to get out there too, but in the meantime, he had some great bonding time with grandma. They even went to the Big Bear Zoo on Saturday! The kids were all excited to share the weekend with grandma and Chris and I were so glad she was able to meet us there....both to share the experience and hang out with Mac for the day. Thank you Grandma P!!!<br />
<br />
Some pics and video of our weekend....<br />

Sledding in what was left of the snow at the cabin. It was HOT, but wet snow is still cold, so short sleeves and snowpants/gloves seemed to be the perfect mix! <br />

I didn't bring my little camera in with me on Day 2 and while I did take some pictures and video wtih iphone earlier in the day, my iphone was lost and then stolen right before we left. (still hoping to retrieve it but expectations are low there....) However, Chris did get a few videos with his phone...this one of Aidric going backwards cracks me up. I'll post the other ones of them each going down in the next post...<br />

We drove about 15 minutes from our house to hike these gorgeous trails. Overlooking the ocean for the majority of the hike. The kids whined at first and didn't understand that we weren't going anywhere specific...we were just walking to walk. Once we found them each a "hiking stick" and they took turns being our nature guide, they were more invested. I still wasn't sure if it was a hit with them, but they've asked several times since if we can go back and do it again.<br />

We had a little time to kill before getting home for naps, so we stopped at a tiny little playground. The fence separates it from a horse stable and while we were there, a woman was out walking a horse. The kids walked over to say hi and pet him, and the woman offered them each a ride. They both ended up taking two turns riding Jackson.<br />

I've started a new blog for 2013! I'm still planning to update here. Hopefully even more than I have been lately. But if I do what I'm planning to do, the new blog will have a short post every day! I'm committing to a 365 project this year. A single picture every day. So far, I've been able to write a little something about the photo too. That might not always happen. If I can just get the picture up each day, I'll be happy!<br />

I'm knocking on wood literally as I write this, but they've actually been getting along soooo well lately. Really enjoying each other, engaging in awesome imaginative play, building things, playing games (yesterday, Aidric was teaching her chess!), encouraging each other, sticking up for each other..just overall complete BFFs. I have been LOVING it. (b/c let's be honest....they often fight, whine, tattle, yell, kick, scream, etc). So, I'm knocking on wood and praying that this continues b/c it's absolutely heavenly. <br />
<br />
I took this picture this morning. It's "day 4" of my 365 days project. More about that later :) They had begged for my phone and then ran off the stairs so that Cormac wouldn't try to get in their way. He's a little obsessed with my phone. (and with doing whatever they are doing!) Aidric is playing a new math ap I just installed and Juliet is happy to be watching. <br />

During Cormac's afternoon nap, these two generally have separate quiet times. They generally beg to play together for at least part of it, so I do often let them have some playtime first. It's usually ended when I can't stand the bickering and fighting anymore. Today, they played together during his entire two hour nap (while I worked - and didn't have to get up from my computer ONCE to referee). Once he was awake, they asked me to keep him out of their space b/c they didn't want him to mess up their castle. (made of foam blocks)<br />
<br />
At one point during his nap, they were playing princess (yes, that's a daily activity here) and I snuck into the playroom with my camera. After I found them, they explained to me that this is where princesses go to stay dry when it is raining out. (it wasn't really raining, fyi)<br />

I am so incredibly thankful for their friendship. I hope they know how special it is. Though they will inevitably go through the rough sibling years, I hope that they'll always be able to lean on each other, be loyal to each other and know that they have a lifelong friend in each other!

We relented around 3:30 when Mac woke up from his nap. The rest of the night was a flurry of opening endless packages of new toys and video games and trying out each and every one of them! <br />

It always goes so fast and I never get all the pictures I had imagined, but I think I covered most of what we had going on here. There were five "stations" set up for the girls...Sarah was in charge of mani/pedis, I painted faces, Richard supervised princess coloring in the playroom, Mary helped the girls with princess crowns and my mom got the girls started on beaded bracelets. We went easy with pizza for lunch and then had a crown shaped cake I had made. And last, we played a few quick games: kiss the frog and princess parade. <br />

He is SO focused and intent on doing his best at every minute. Makes him such a fun player to watch. We witnessed his personal skills along with the skills of his entire team, improve so much over the course of the season. They went from focusing solely on being the one to kick the ball in the goal, to becoming aware of their teammates, passing, playing defense and implementing actual 'plays' and 'positions' they had been taught at practice. I'm looking forward to many more soccer seasons! <br />

The problem is that she didn't own a bike. Someone had given Aidric a small (maybe 10"?) bike without training wheels and that's what he learned to ride on. After mastering no training wheels on that, he has since switched back to his own bike. So, Chris moved the training wheels over to the small bike for Juliet. This bike was a hand me down hand me down. It was in bad shape...a half of one pedal was missing and the training wheels weren't stable on it. We started talking about getting Juliet a bike for her birthday and then one of the wheels on the hand me down bike actually fell off mid-ride. (happened to be mid-ride when I was out with Aidric and Cormac And it was time to move up the birthday gift.<br />
<br />
I talked to my mom about it and she said she and my dad wanted to get her the bike for her birthday. They don't get to be here to see the kids open presents on their birthdays anyway, so we thought it would be fun to facetime with them and then have them "be there" when she first saw the bike. It was so fun- they (along with my niece Ella) even sang her happy birthday first!<br />
<br />
We go for walks/bike rides pretty on a daily basis and she's thrilled now to be riding her own bike...she has 3 lalaloopsy dolls and she very fairly switches them out each day so everyone gets a turn to ride :)<br />
<br />
The morning she got the bike, we took the kids down to the beach for a walk/ride on the strand.<br />

From his very first photo shoot at 6 days old, this child has not made taking his picture easy on me! I had such big plans for his one year shoot. Knowing we had a family session with an amazing photographer planned for the following month, I figured I'd handle the one year on my own. Oh, this boy had other plans.<br />

She went to a different preschool last year, and I had a hard time deciding where she should go this year. Aidric went to RUMP for two years and I love that it is a coop. It is so nice to be part of their first school experiences. On the other hand, she loved her first school and loved her friends there. Luckily, I knew no matter which one we chose, she would be fine. She has such an easy time making friends and she's pretty easy going about change. Three months into the school year, she is loving it! <br />

A year????? Quite possibly, this was the fastest year of my life. I
remember sooo well everything about September 8, 2011...it just doesn't<i> feel</i> like a whole year ago. This little boy has brought so much joy into our family. His personality is already so strong..it's easy to see he'll be the class clown. He looooves to make people laugh. He'll do certain things just to get a smile or laugh and then once he sees he's done it, he'll repeat over and over again, laughing right along with you. <br />
<br />
He's super sweet and cuddly, but has a definite ornery and defiant side as well. He still hates having his diaper changed, so we battle multiple times daily on that. Have I mentioned his first word was No?? He is the most adventurous of his siblings at one year. Aidric wasn't a true walker until after 13 months and Juliet was content to scooch until around 17 months. Cormac took steps just after 11 months and is now what I would call a walker. He can make it all the way across the room and chooses walking over crawling most of the time.<br />
<br />
He loves to climb stairs and furniture. He loves to explore in general. He does not like recent efforts in babyproofing that have happened around here :)<br />
<br />
He loves Aidric and Juliet and the feeling is mutual. Juliet tends to sit and play with him...whatever he is playing. They are very sweet together and she shows a patience with him that she has never exhibited for anything else. If I'm combing her hair, she shrieks at me for EVERY tiny pull. Cormac, however, can grab a fistful and yank her head back and all she says is, "no, no Cormac..ouchie!"<br />
<br />
Aidric and Cormac already roughhouse like brothers. Aidric's favorite game to play with him is "mac attack". Aidric puts something Cormac will want down on the floor and then he lays on the floor between Cormac and said item. Cormac crawls right over Aidric and then Aidric moves as fast as he can to remain in Cormac's way. Cormac has officially moved in with Aidric now. That's right people...he no longer sleeps in our closet :) He's been in his crib for about a month now. For the most part it's working out OK. There have been a few nights Aidric has had to come sleep in our bed b/c Mac was keeping him up. <br />
<br />
He is still a pretty big mommy's boy and I'm not complaining. He's generally happy with whoever has him unless he sees me. At his birthday party, if someone was holding him and I needed to keep my hands free for a little longer, I had to avoid a direct route past him. If I walked by, even in a 3 foot radius, he'd stretch out of their arms to try to grab me. I'm not going to lie, it is nice being so loved. (Chris would like me to add here that Cormac gets SUPER excited to see Chris from across the room. Seriously, he does. His little face lights up and he shrieks in excitement!)<br />
<br />
He's a big fan of nursing and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to wean him. I'm not in a hurry to be done tomorrow, but I am looking to slow down and at least see an end in sight. I've just recently got him down to 3 times a day and am working hard to drop the afternoon feeding, but he is not in agreement on that. We continue to negotiate that, depending daily on how badly I want him to take that afternoon nap :)<br />
<br />
I'll post birthday party pictures soon. (promise!) For now, his final monthly shot! I need to get these all posted next to each other soon! <br />

<b>Favorites:</b><br />
Food: meat - loves chicken, meatballs, even veggie burgers/veggie chicken nuggets, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
Toy: He's a big fan of a few hand-me-down toys we've gotten out for him, namely those with balls to either hammer down or just place in the chute. At "Under the Sea" (an indoor playplace) last week, he loved playing in the Step 2 Push Buggy cars, so he got one of those for his birthday! <br />
<br />
<br />
Book: I hate to admit that he's not a book lover.....yet. This is
one of the things I feel guilty for b/c he's a 3rd child...we just
haven't gotten into the habit of reading to him the way we did with the
other two! I'm hoping that changes and we can ignite the love of reading
soon. Of all the books he has, he seems to like "HUG" the best.
Interesting that it is the book with the least amount of words :)<br />

At least I posted pics of him ON his birthday...now, the pics from his party. We had a great day with family and friends. Served a taco bar with homemade salsa and guac (thanks Sarah and Mary, respectively). I made his cake and rather than do an Elmo shaped cake, I made a two layer round cake and decorated it with different colored polka dots to match his invitation. Sarah dipped some oreos in chocolate and attached these cute elmo tags I had found free on-line! Chris did a balloon run that morning and that pretty much sums up the party prep!<br />
<br />
Kids enjoyed a painting activity and running around like hooligans. Adults enjoyed adult beverages and food. Cormac enjoyed being in the spotlight and all of his fun new toys.<br />
