Rain, Rain, Go Away

Poor Kieran has yet to have a t-ball game. We've had four scheduled so far and every single one has been cancelled because of bad weather. Maybe Saturday will be the day... who knows?

We had some wonderful Passover dinners this week, Sunday with my mom's side of the family and Monday with my dad's side. Kieran had a blast both days and has a new fan in Eli, my cousin's little boy (2 years old and as tall as Kieran). The two of them had oodles of fun running around like crazy and I hope to get them together again soon.

Sunday the easter bunny will visit with a great basket for us... I mean Kieran. He already got his easter cards and gifts from Grandma and Gma (money and chocolates - thanks!). I have tomorrow off for Good Friday and Kieran and I are going to head to Gma's house to make some no-bake cookies and maybe some macaroons. If it's nice out in the morning, we may hit the zoo first for their easter egg hunt since Saturday's egg hunt is too close to game time.

Swimming is still big for Kieran and though he didn't have a class this past Sunday we went to the Y anyway where he swam by himself for an hour. I'm going to have to get myself a maternity swimsuit so I can go into the water with him. Good thing our pool is indoors or that activity might have been cancelled too.

OK, gotta jet. Love to all blog again soon.

The Craziness Continues

Not much is new in the Gauvey household. I'm going crazy with all the junk we have piled everywhere (that's what happens when you have a bedroom you use only for storage) from the renovation. Plus the dust and dirt from the work. To make matters (slightly) worse, Ken hurt his foot and needs to stay off his feet as much as possible, so we're not getting much done by the way of cleaning.

This doesn't really affect Kieran much at all, although I have noticed an increased tendency from him not to put his toys away. He used to be very good about it. Ah, well, I do have hope that within a month or so we'll be back to relative normalcy (along with a cleaner house). Part of it is on me, I get so tired that I don't have much left to do housework when I get home. I need to carve out some additional time to do this because it truly is driving me crazy.

Kieran continues to amaze with some of the things he'll do. He surprised Ken & I on Sunday by jumping off the diving platform at swim class without holding anyone's hand (last time he refused to go without holding the teacher's hand and then only did it once). He'll probably go for another round of Eel classes since we missed two of the six weeks this time around.

Saturday was his first t-ball practice and Kieran had a great time, even if he was a little figdet-y. He is at least a full head shorter than everyone else on his team, but I have sneaking suspicion he is also the youngest kid on the team as well. He did great hitting the ball (got a few "oohs" and "nice" from the adults on his first big hit), also did good at catching grounders, but we'll need to work on catching fly balls and throwing to someone else on the team. He loved every minute of it, so I'm not worried - I know he'll pick it all up quickly.

That's about it for now. Love to all, blog again soon.
