Such a smooth day

Mondays are usually hard, Daddy is back at work and we usually have had a busy weekend on lots of bye bye"s". Courtney is often sad that we aren't going anywhere and begs me go somewhere. Usually she acts out.

I have been trying so hard to keep Caylee on schedule especially for her first nap and this weekend was a failure at that. So I had a new idea for our errands today. I used to always walk to the store, load up on groceries and walk home, but I haven't done that in awhile because I usually have too many things to get or have to get something big or heavy. So I decided to give it a try today with two motives in mind, (1) I spend much less when I just have the stroller (2) Caylee can stay asleep the whole time because I am not getting her in and out of the car numerous times. It all went really well. I think I am going to definitely do it again. Courtney was really good and I was able to keep her occupied and busy the whole time and we got two stores done and a stroller full of groceries. I was able to even put away most of the groceries while Caylee slept. Usually I have to drop them all on the floor and quickly feed Caylee.



The girls both took great naps and I was able to get my "weekly home blessings" done, which put me in a great mood when Courtney woke up. We went out and used chalk on our sidewalk leaving fun messages for daddy. Too bad it was too dark when he got home to see them.



After dinner we did baths and I bathed both girls together which is always a challenge. Caylee was a bit fussy so she screamed as I washed Courtney. Never fun. Courtney is still hating getting her hair washed. Tonight was not any better. I tried to approach her differently and told her I was just going to wash the back of her hair so no water would get to her face. I am going to slowly move up. This was not any easier. I pleaded with her to let me do it and she was not convinced. So Caylee was screaming and Courtney was screaming. I did keep my cool. Ben came up and helped out and was able to get Courtney to let him rinse the back. She was relieved to not have the water touch her face. Oh silly girl.
