This hasn't been a somewhat challenging week. Almost every day Aria refused to get up out of bed and go to school, and argued with us long enough to miss the bus, so I had to play hard ball and just put her in the car against her wishes and take her to school. We're not sure why she's gotten so negative about going to school, because she seems to enjoy herself when she gets there. The only thing we can think of is that every now and then she's starts feeling lousy. For the last 2-3 months she's had an occasional day here or there where she tells us her tummy hurts near bedtime, but then that's the end of it. But this week things have escalated. On Monday night she said the same thing and skipped dinner outright. The next day she seemed fine, and then several days later in the week when we went out to dinner to celebrate Tara's birthday, she said the same thing. She didn't eat the food we ordered her at the restaurant and began complaining so much that we had to leave the restaurant early before we could even have cake. When we got home Tara asked me to take care of the kids, so she could go out shopping for herself, and shorting after she left, Aria threw up all over. Then, the next morning she felt great again. It's just been weird. We're thinking she's either allergic to something or she's constipated. Hopefully we'll figure it out soon.
As for the good things that occurred,I pulled out my guitar for probably the first time in a year and started playing for the kids. I've missed playing guitar. I've just felt so busy with work that I got out of the habit of playing. I need to get back into the habit of playing again. Aria has always loved music, so after I was done playing she took one of my picks and began playing and singing along for quite a while. It was fun to see her enjoying herself.
The kids also decked out a little table for a tasty meal for the Chad & Missy Murphy's kids when they came over for dinner last Sunday. It was fun having them over.
Here's a little video of a book Zade has slowly been building over the last few months. He'll work on little pictures and then adds them to it. Here's a link to a short video we put up on YouTube where he explains it:
