Grandma came to visit this past weekend and both kids had a blast. Kieran actually managed a semi-good day at camp on Monday (though his listening left a lot to be desired, he kept his hands to himself). As usual, Grandma spoiled the kids rotten. Mia stayed up until 9, Kieran until 10. Watching movies, walking around and going shopping (Grandma's favorite past time).
At dinner last night, Kieran asked us why Grandma likes to shop so much. It was a very good observation, and I was quiet a moment and let Ken answer (after all, it's his mom). So he explained that when Grandma was growing up, she didn't get a lot of new things. When Kieran asked why her parents did not get her anything Ken explained that her dad was not around. We then explained that Grandma's mom didn't have the money to do a lot of shopping and that she just wasn't very nice. Kieran thought about it a bit and then we changed the subject. I think it is funny what he 'gets' and what he doesn't. In some ways he is such a kid still - loves stuffed animals (had Grandma buy him 2) and in others he's getting to be so grown-up. Like noticing what people do.
Amelia, on the other hand, is simply joyful. She typically wakes up happy (though she doesn't go to bed the same way). Her speech is getting clearer by the day. This morning, Ken went to the gym and I got up when Mia did. We're sitting downstairs watching Sesame Street when Ken walked in. "Hi Daddy!" she exclaimed. It was clear as day. And it's obvious to me that she is making a real effort to be understood. I vaguely remember this stage with Kieran, when he understood a lot of words and some of what he would say to me would come out garbled (to me). I'm watching her and noticing that she's starting to get frustrated when I don't understand right away what she's trying to tell me. Kieran was much the same way (though his temper is a lot shorter than hers - more like me, sadly).
So, sitting here this morning, in the aftermath of a whirlwind weekend I'm left wondering - where did the time go? Kieran is 6.5 (don't you dare forget the half!) and Amelia is 2. Seems like just yesterday it was only me and Ken bumping around. In some ways I can barely remember what life was like before the kids. In others it seems that not a ton has changed, just gotten a lot better. Really looking forward to the rest of this ride.

Happy (a few days late) 2nd Birthday Amelia
See? This is what happens when you're a second child. Sorry, kiddo, but you know that mom typically tells it like it is.
OK, this is more like what happens when your mom has a lot of craziness going on during the week and is only able to blog on the weekend while you're napping. By the way - keep up the whole napping thing. As long as you can. When you're a grown up, you start to miss it. Oh, and I get a lot done while you nap.
So, we did a small celebration at my mom's house before your actual birthday. On Thursday when you turned 2, you, me and Kieran all got to eat cake. Which was nice. Kieran made sure we sang to you (several times) and then you began singing to your cake. Right now when you see cake, you start saying "Happy...!" like you're going to begin the song. Seriously cute.
Anyway, I have no amazing wisdom to drop down from above. Just know that we all adore you, even Kieran who sometimes doesn't like what you do or gets annoyed by you. The cats have tolerated your attempts at petting quite well and your love of music is still strong.
This weekend with just you, me and your brother is fun. So far you two have been wonderful. Let me get the errands out of the way so that now all we have to do is play. The only thing I ask for your birthday is a little more sleeping in time. While your dad is gone, I set my alarm to 4:45 am. This is not an hour that my eyes should see, mind you. On Friday you did not even let me sleep that late. Today I managed a whole 15 minutes (enough time to shower and dress) before you awoke at 5. I guess, for now, I'll take it. But can you start imitating your brother and sleep in now and again?
That's all for now, my little girl. Happy second birthday.

Magical Memory
I wanted to commit this memory to the blog before it faded too much. The weekend was wonderful celebrating Father's Day but really, my best day was Friday.
Kieran came to the office with me and was angelic. Did not complain or get upset for having to sit for 8 hours while I worked. We dropped off and picked up Amelia without incident. Ken got home just a tad bit before us and we all went for a walk after dinner since it was so nice outside. We stopped and got cat food and on the way back home walked past a new ice cream shop that opened about a block from our house.
They were having a kids night. Kieran begged for us to stay, even suggesting he'd give up going to the fireworks later that night (it was Flag Day) at Fort McHenry. We stayed for an hour or so when I told him it was time to go. I offered to still let him go to the fireworks which he was excited about. So, after talking with Ken, grabbing a few things from the house, Kieran and I set out. (Mia had already gone to bed by the time we'd gotten back from the ice cream shop)
We walked halfway there and waited for the bus to take us the rest of the way. The sun was setting and the fireflies started to come out. Kieran's been addicted to Wild Kratts and they had an episode on fireflies, so he's all about it. I taught him the trick to catching them (bring your hand up from underneath, not from the sides). We got on the bus and all he could talk about was the fireflies.
After we arrived at the Fort, I high-tailed it over to find a good spot, worried the fireworks would begin any minute. Luckily, I found a nice spot near a small batch of trees that provided excellent grounds for lightning bug catching. Kieran had a very smart plan and brought along a hat that lit up so I knew where he was in the dark. I let him wander pretty far away to go play and catch lightning bugs. Then, when the fireworks started, I showed him that if he laid down and looked at the sky, the fireworks would seem like they were coming right at him. He loved that too.
It was pretty late by the time we trudged back to the bus, but Kieran was nearly wired for sound (so was I). He'd had an amazing day - more excited by the bugs than the fireworks. The whole evening was just so magical. No fighting, no fussing - just enjoying each other's company and watching him have a blast.

The Bully and The Tooth
So my post yesterday was prophetic in a way, since there was a LOT of action with Kieran.
He lost his first tooth at school. They gave him a certificate, made sure it was in a bag and he got a sticker. He was the first one in his class to lose a tooth. He's very proud. So proud, in fact, that he required me to write a note to the tooth fairy apologizing, but saying he wanted to keep his tooth to remember. The tooth fairy thought that was a very nice thing, so she gave him $5. Hey, it's a first tooth.
After school, as many of you know, Kieran goes to an aftercare program called Fitness Fun and Games. He'd been having a lot of trouble keeping his hands to himself and showing off his martial arts skills (inciting others to not keep their hands to themselves) but that had mostly gone after a new director took over.
There is another after-care program that runs from the recreational center attached to the school. Yesterday on the playground one of the rec center kids came over to where Kieran and his friends were playing. This kid began stating that while "everybody else likes Gracie, I don't." (Gracie is one of Kieran's best friends) Kieran and his friends walked away but this kid followed them and then started saying "Stop following me." but Kieran retorted "You're following us." It sounds like the kid came over and bothered them off and on for awhile. Finally, the kid was looking at the friends and said "I could beat you and you and you.." pointing at each one. Kieran got up and basically told him to prove it, because he did not think that the kid could beat him.
The director told me she had to 'pull Kieran off' the other kid. She was not angry about the incident, stating that if someone had bothered her that much she'd probably react in a similar manner. After talking with Kieran about it the only thing I asked he do differently next time is to talk to an adult. He did everything else right. He tried ignoring the kid, he tried walking away, and finally he stood up for himself. He said he blocked the other boy's kicks and was able to kick him (from the description it was a front kick about waist high on the other boy).
Kieran originally told me the other boy 'started it' but while talking with me, he realized that he was the one who began the physical confrontation, however, I'm not entirely sure I blame him for the way he reacted. He had done everything (mostly) we asked of him and he was really just trying to get the kid to leave him and his friends alone.
The director has promised to keep an eye out for this kid and asked Kieran to come find her or another adult if that kid bothers him again.

A Break in the Action
We've been going non-stop since February with activity after activity. From tournaments in March to a piano recital this past weekend. Kieran has been crazy busy and when we're not at his activities we're enjoying the benefits of living downtown - walking to the Science Center, enjoying the Urban Beach days (DJ, toys for the kids, food trucks, etc), festivals, and whatever else we can find to entertain ourselves (for FREE) on the weekends.
This weekend is the first in a looooong time that we have no real planned activities. Kieran has a baseball game on Saturday and Kendo on Sunday but there is no tournament, recital or family event to attend. I am hopeful this means we can get some of the house cleaned up since my mother-in-law is coming in a few weeks and the house is a complete disaster. Mostly that means picking up things and putting them away, recycling the five tons of paper we have from Kieran's worksheets from this school year and general cleaning. Oh, and giving the dog a bath. DEFINITELY giving the dog a bath.
Not much is new since my last post. Amelia is surprisingly slow at talking. She's got a lot of words but only recently started putting a few words together (Mommy, sit! Up, please!). I admit we've been bad about forcing her to use her words and Kieran just wants to help so he gets what she wants when she points or uses only one word. Now that I realize it, we'll fix that. I expect that she'll be quite talkative once she's got it down.
Her birthday is at the end of the month and I still don't know what I'm going to do. Ken will be out of town on her actual birthday and the weekend after that most folk are out of town for the fourth of July holiday. Don't know if I'll need to do two parties (one when Ken is here and one when he's out) or if we'll forge forward with the 6th knowing most folk won't make it. But I have to figure that out pretty quickly.
Kieran is looking forward to summer camp and we've got to get him set up quick too. I think he needs new shoes and possibly some swimsuits. I need to have him try those on this weekend. Hm. My weekend isn't looking so 'free' anymore...
After this weekend we have another crazy busy one next weekend, one more 'restful' weekend before true summer craziness sets in.
But I don't know that I'd trade the craziness of being busy for having nothing to do. While it can be frustrating to not have the time to get things done around the house, it is wonderful to be able to enjoy time with the family each and every weekend.

Endings and Beginnings
This school year is winding down for Kieran. He has 14 days left - including today. It's been a very bumpy year for all of us with Kieran's boredom and physical aggression.
Since we met with the school and implemented our new rules, it's been much better. Kieran's had majority green days (with a few yellows) and lots of 'double green' days where he gets dessert. I think I'm going to have to buy stock in Afters.
I've been trying to schedule some time to go do something either just me and Ken or me and my mom and realized that we don't have a real 'free' weekend until nearly mid-July. On the one hand it's nice to be popular and have things to do, on the other hand it is exhausting and one of the many reasons I won't have people over to my house. I hope to be able to devote some time to scrubbing down the first floor this coming long weekend. Kieran now has a "Help with Indoor Chores" magnet and I've tasked him with sweeping every night and mopping every other night (something he actually likes to do). He forgets most nights because he's home so late from Tae Kwan Do, or karate, or piano or base ball (have I mentioned being busy?). But he tries to remember, and I try to remind him.
Kieran has decided he likes to be busy. Not sure how things will change when Ken starts his new job week after next. He's had some flexibility up until now to leave early to go to Tae Kwan Do with Kieran a few days a week and then make that time up in the evenings or on weekends. We'll see how it goes with the new place.
Amelia continues to surprise me. Her hair is starting to curl - a lot - which concerns me because I didn't want her to have the hair I do, but she's still beautiful and amazing so I guess I'll deal. Her language is coming along though it's weird as I believe I've forgotten how long it takes for kids to really develop communication. She's good at small things (like saying when she's hungry or thirsty) less so at others (like asking for specific items to be handed to her). Words right now include "Book, eat, more, all done, mine, car, bye, hello, hi, Kieran, Mommy, Daddy, brother, puppy, cat, dog, Elmo, Fresh Beat, cookie". I'm sure I'm missing a few.
Her favorite person at daycare isn't there anymore (Miss Thelma) and she's looked for her a few times though Mia probably thinks she'll turn up eventually. She'll be moving to the bigger toddler room sometime next month and from there over to the two year old room.
That's about it. Like I said very busy. We'll have some new photos up soon from our time at the Art Outside event we went to last weekend and from Kieran and Ken's Tae Kwan Do yellow belt test and from Kieran's karate tournament this weekend and from our time at the Sunday Beach party.... um yeah. This is my life now. And I love it.

It Gets Easier, It Gets Harder
The kids grow so quickly and sometimes things seem so much easier than they did just a year ago. Then they seem harder. Then it seems about the same.
We had a really nice weekend with family. On Saturday Kieran and Ken got haircuts (and the stylist checked Mia's hair to see if it was time to cut - I have been worried about split ends) then we got new shoes for Amelia. After that we went over to my brother's house to celebrate my mom's birthday.
The kids had a great time and Amelia and Becca bonded. Becca does not mind that her only girl cousin is 9 years younger than her. She only cares that she finally got a girl cousin. Which is awesome. Becca and Mia spent a lot of time together playing drums, running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room and laughing. Kieran and Pete are like two peas in the pod and Kieran idolizes Pete (who I think enjoys not being the youngest kid and having a cousin who looks up to him so much). They talked about science and played a lot of Wii U.
Sunday was slightly crazy. Because we didn't get grocery shopping or anything else done on Saturday, I had to run to out Sunday morning. Ken had a small amount of work he needed to do. Amelia slept VERY poorly the night before (she went to bed at 9 PM and woke up nearly every hour all night long) so she stayed home with him to get a nap. Kieran did great for me at the store (which he hates going but was told that it was Mother's Day so he HAD to behave for me), we got back, unpacked groceries, then ran out to pick up my grandmother.
We had a wonderful brunch/lunch at Roy's in Baltimore (it's becoming our go-to place for large gatherings) with all the moms (my 2 moms, grandmother, sister-in-law, and her mom - oh, and me). Because we came before dinner they did not have dessert set and after dropping my grandmother back at home we went out for dessert at Afters (a frozen yogurt place). It was a very nice way to end our mother's day festivities.
Some funny things from the weekend.
Amelia is obsessed with shoes. After trying on a pair that fit fine, we asked her if she liked the shoes. She was emphatic in her "no!" We then had her try on another pair that she did like but then she refused to let go of her previous pair of shoes. Running around with them in her hands stating "My shoes!" to anyone who would listen. We are doomed when she's older and will demand multiple pairs (right now she's got one pair, which is all she really needs).
At brunch Ken ordered a Pina Colada. Kieran asked him if he was drinking a sundae. I responded that it was not, it was an alcoholic beverage. Kieran said "That sounds good!" Um, no.
That's all for now. Blog again eventually. Hope you had a wonderful mothers day as well.
