Nyah's Birthday Party and Other Stuff

Kai was invited to his first birthday party this weekend. It was the daughter of a girl that I work with. They went to Amazing Adventures and had a blast! It was hard work trying to keep up with him though.

We also put up the Christmas decorations this weekend and Kai is obsessed with the "itty" (pretty) tree and the "yights" (lights). He has done a lot better than I though he would do with it. He is drawn to it, almost like he can't help himself, but as soon as tell him not to touch he stops.

I have decided to try and sell my house. I am kind of sad to do it, but it is just getting to hard to be out here on my own. Small towns are not the best places for single parents. There is really nothing out here for me (other than my mom and no mom that doesn't mean you are nothing). Everything I want to do or can do whether it be going out with the girls from work or putting Kai in activites etc. are in the city. It would also work better for the "shared parenting" that Kai's dad and I have to do. The commute and the idiot drivers on the highway are really starting to get to me too. Not to mention the expense! I haven't "listed" it yet, I have just put an ad on Used Regina, so will see how that goes.

I think Kai's vocabulary has increased by a million in the past week. I can't believe all of the new words and phrases he has started saying. He also imitates EVERYTHING! I guess it is time to start watching what we say around him. He has also taken to repeating the same word over and over and louder and louder, it is really quite annoying but funny at the same time.

Kai has also developed and obsession with nailpolish and grandma has been feeding it. Everytime we are over there Kai goes into the nailpolish basket and the next thing I know he has blue and orange fingernails and purple and pink toes. Yesterday when Kai was eating breakfast I saw the nailpolish on his fingers and was glad I noticed it before we left the house. So I took it off his fingers and we left for the birthday party. Once we got there they informed us that the kids had to go barefoot in the gym area, so I take his socks off and to my horror his one foot is painted pink and the other is purple!!!!! Needless to say I had some explaining to do!

I am still doing really good with my Weight Watchers. I have lost 12lbs so far. Numerous people have been telling me that they can notice now, so that feels pretty good. I really hope I don't hit a plateau, as I know it can happen after you've had a few weeks of losing quite a bit. I really need to pick up on the exercising though, as I haven't been to focused on that aspect of it. Although, I do run up and down four flights of stairs about 20 times a day a work, so that has to count for something right?

Here are some pictures of the party.
