Botanical Garden and Museum of Transportation

Tuesday May 26th Kaitlynn and I went to my mom's. Kaitlynn played with Auggie and Elliott. Dave met my mom, Kaitlynn and I at Applebee's for dinner.

Wednesday the 27th Kaitlynn, Olivia and I met the Mommy and Toddler Playgroup at the Botanical Garden. Emily, Ella, Trisha, Kylie, Tara, Bailey, Kathy, John Paul, and Tara's friend and her son were there.

After playing on the sheep, we fed the Koi fish, then went to the Children's Garden.

Before we left Kaitlynn and Kylie played in the water at the Children's Garden.

That evening my mom and I went to dinner and to get our hair cut. It was a nice relaxing evening.

Thursday the 28th Kaitlynn and I attended the Momslikeme.com Playdate at the Museum of Transportation.

Kaitlynn played bingo and won a coloring book.

Then she made bubbles with the bubble wands.
Kaitlynn climbed on the train, but said she was too scared to go through it.
She played with sidewalk chalk.

Then we did a craft and played with the bubbles again. Kaitlynn saw her friends Kylie, John David, Bailey and Ella.
We didn't stay too long because Kaitlynn said she was ready to go. She was complaining about her ears and had a runny nose. I called the pediatrician and was able to bring her in to get checked out. I thought for sure it was another ear infection, but thankfully it wasn't. Dr. Quinn said Kaitlynn's ears looked great. There wasn't even any wax build up. She said that she probably has allergies (seasonal) or she is getting her 2 year molars in. I think it is allergies. Kaitlynn was such a big girl during the visit. She just sat there and let Dr. Quinn exam her. She did throw a fit when we laid her back and she checked her diaper area, but she never likes when she has to lay on the table. She was also checked for strep.

We went to my mom's for lunch. Kaitlynn played with Auggie and Elliott.

Friday the 29th Kaitlynn and I were supposed to meet the CBW Playgroup, but I had a terrible sinus infection, so we didn't get to meet them.

New Do

Saturday I got my hair cut at Studio 180 Hair Design. This is not normally where I get my hair cut. I received a certificate in the mail for my birthday for a complimentary hair cut and style, so I thought I would give it a try. The owner, Susan washed, cut and styled my hair. Dave and Kaitlynn went with me. I really liked the salon. I have to admit when we pulled up to the place, I was a little worried. It looked like a little whole in the wall. But I thought I'd give it a shot. Once we got inside, I felt a little better. Susan was very nice and knowledgeable. I also appreciated that she had a drawer full of toys for Kaitlynn to play with. My regular hair dresser has a few mega blocks for the kids to play with, but a drawer full was excellent.

It's hard to really get a feel for my cut in these pictures. It looks flat, but it's really not. I like the cut because I can wear it different ways.

We went to the library to look for some DVDs and CDs for Kaitlynn. We got an alphabet DVD, 2 number DVDs, a kid's CD and a Sesame Street bedtime DVD. We got a few movies for ourselves, too - The Stranger and Prairie Home Companion.

We finally gave Kaitlynn her birthday gifts from us. We got her a keyboard, a cash register, potty books, Dora slippers, a blanket for outside, and Sudsy School bath stuff (school bus to play with in the tub along with bath gels and bubble bath). Kaitlynn loved her new stuff. She also started wanting to potty on the potty.

Kaitlynn really likes the Sesame Street DVD. She will actually watch the first 10 minutes of it. We let her watch it before bed. After she went to sleep, Dave and I watched The Stranger. I just can't watch scary movies anymore. I want to, but I am such a scaredy cat. I blame it on the pregnancy hormones (even though I am not pregnant). I think it screwed me up when I was pregnant with Kaitlynn. The movie was based on true events.

Dave went to bed after the movie. I tried to watch Prairie Home Companion, but just couldn't get interested. I might try to watch it again before I have to take it back.
