Paired with busy nights...makes one exhausted mommy.
Today was stupid busy. I know I still cannot help members 100%. So I am still not completely functional. But man it was so busy today. Just all day. With weird stuff too. So then I had to go get Lily from practice, that was loud and insane. Then off to the baseball field. Then to the grocery store, because the baby was out of formula. Then home....annnnnndddddddd I literally just realized I never ate anything for dinner. UGH!
Anyway, I get home at almost 9PM and look around. Mom is not enforcing my chore chart which is starting to get frustrating. I have these things in place so the house will not look like it is in a state of emergency. I am seriously waiting for the red cross to show up. Anyway, so I spent the rest of the night cleaning.
Speaking of dinner...now that I realized I never ate I am so hungry....but anyway. So these pampered little kids. All these other "baseball moms" talk about how on practice nights they just eat sandwiches, Brittany said they do that all the time too. So I figured what the heck I'll try it out. Ummmmm....no. They.Were.Pissed! Sandwiches is NOT dinner. I am still hungry, there is no vegetables, where is the chicken, is this seriously what we are eating for dinner. Well that was a bust. I won't be doing that again. LOL.
I don't know how I am going to do it this weekend. I am trying to iron out my schedule for the weekend. So Christian's coach said he would keep him so he didn't have to miss the game, Alicia is keeping the baby, Lily has to be at check in at 8 AM, AND I have to pick up mom. I get tired even thinking about all of this. So coach said I could drop Christian off as early as 630, he offered to let him sleep over. But you know we can't do that. Anyway...so I have to get up get myself ready, get Lily ready, get Christian and the baby ready. Take Christian to coach's, pick up my mom, drop off Addison and be downtown all before the sunrises. I need lots and lots and lots of coffee. I am no longer excited about competition day. I am sure it will not be as bad as I am making it....I will just have to be really prepared by tomorrow night. Which I am sure I will be.
Well I hope you have a great day. I love you!!! Good night

Plants
Okra, and Marigolds |
baby tomato sprouts |
Hooray! Zucchini |
Cucumber and Marigold |
Beans and Marigolds |
So I am really nervous about leaving Addison with Mattie tomorrow. Not even because I don't trust her...because obviously she wouldn't be going there if I didn't trust her she wouldn't be there. I am just nervous because Addison hasn't been with her for a long time. What if she get anxious, or upset because myself or mom aren't there? UGH! This is getting harder. The first week at work was so easy, it is starting to get harder.
Maybe it will get easier now that I am in the branch and not in training.
I am sure she will be fine. She doesn't typically get upset when she is left anywhere.
Alright well have a good day! I love you!

meeting
ughhhhhhhhh I have my first meeting in the morning and I already feel like a train wreck.
I have to be at HQ by 745. That is too freaking early to function.
So I really need to take a picture of our plants for you. The bean sprouts are officially bean plants. They are already bigger than the marigolds.
I feel like I had stuff to tell you but I am officially too tired to think.
I was able to get all the kids in bed by 8 though. The big kids even got to read a story. Well Lily read a story. Christian thought he would be cute and tell me he wasn't going to read his book. So Lily read her story and I put them to bed. Then he was pissed I wouldn't let him read his story. He was so mad at me. He was trying to be smart and was calling his dad while laying down so he wouldn't have to look at me and dropped my phone on his face. If you thought he was mad at me for calling his bluff you should have seen how mad he was when I laughed at him for dropping a phone on his face.
Sometimes I feel like a bad mom. Is that bad parenting? It was so funny.
I hope you have a good day. I love you so much! Good night

Expectation vs Reality
Expectation. It's a little blurry but I like this one so much.
Then there is reality.
We had a good day though. We spent the afternoon at Alicia's and Wade's family was there. It was nice. The kids had a good time, there was lots of food. We were all so tired by the time we left though. I am sure Alicia will sleep well tonight. She always works so hard for holidays.
OOOOOO she has one of those fancy Robot vacuums. That thing looks so cool. But when I think of all the dog hair on our floor. The Robot would probably explode. Wade said it has these brissel things that come out when it is near your baseboards and it scrubs the dust off your baseboards! WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!
They said you set it to come out and vacuum and when it is done vacuuming it goes back to its home, or if its battery is about to die it will stop what it is doing and go back to its home. How cool is that!?
Anyway but when we left her house today we got to the neighborhood at the exact time as Hunter, so Christian got to get his Hunter fix. I really wish we were close with him like we used to be. Christian loves him so much. I swear if he was allowed to ride his bike that far he would always be at his house. Anyway so that was probably one of the best parts of Christian's day.
So Addison wore her big girl jammies again tonight. She is not a fan of the nightgown. It hinders her from crawling and she was very upset with it. But she looked cute
She doesn't seem to mind it now that she is sleeping. I guess it is just hard for her to move in when she is used to always being in pants. That's the same reason I don't ever wear dresses LOL
So here are so more little cute pictures from the other day.
Christian wanted to make sure you got pictures of them coloring eggs. He made an egg for you. He wrote your name on it and everything.
She was so pretty this morning.
So I saw this on the way home from my sister's. It is very nice on the outside, and 2 acres. BUT...it is only 4 bedrooms, and it is heinous on the inside. It is just a few doors down from my sister though. It looks like old people built it on the inside...very disappointing.
So I showed you my calendar but not my menu. I am loving these. They are awesome!!!
Well I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night

Easter
GOOD NEWS!!! The Easter Bunny came. The kids will be so happy. He came and Whiskey didn't eat him :)
They are going to be so excited when they get up!
So I have some more exciting spring news! All of our plants have sprouted....except the tomatoes...ugh go figure! But we are growing stuff!!!! How exciting is that! I will take pictures of those guys tomorrow. The basil is teeny tiny you can hardly see it right now.
She will probably hate me when she is older with all the food pictures.
This is how you eat strawberries when mom isn't looking. This kid...
She was so grumpy this afternoon after we got off the phone. Skipping that morning nap threw her whole day off. She was ready for bed tonight, she didn't even try to say no.
Anyway, I hope you have a great day. I LOVE YOU!

burnt out
I am not sure how I am supposed to make it until you get home. I am so tired. I feel like I can make it until Thursday night but by Friday I am good for nothing. I am exhausted.
Hopefully you can see that video that I sent you. It is really cute. Well I say it is cute now until Addison's answer for everything is no.
Back to training tomorrow. At least I will be able to go home early again on a Friday.
OMYGOODNESS!!!! Lily has a 4 hour practice tomorrow. WHAT!?! FOUR HOURS!!!! Poor thing!
But her first competition is next Saturday. Finally! I am so excited! I cannot wait to torture her and do her hair and her make up. I am debating finding a sitter for Addison or bringing her with me.
I feel like I should get a sitter for her but then I want her with me too. IDK.
Not a whole lot more going on over here. I am so tired I do not know what to do with myself.
I hope you have a great day! I love you and I hope I can talk to you soon.

Longest day EVER!
So I think we are all overly tired. Christian was so overly emotional.
Mom said Addison boycotted her afternoon nap. So by the time dinner was done that poor baby was tired. I was trying to move her crib mattress down and was standing with her little face smooshed against the bars trying to get in her bed. It was so sad. I am not sure I have ever seen her so tired that she was literally trying to climb in her bed.
The bunny bit Lily again. LOL. Right when I thought he was starting to love us. Apparently he bit her pretty hard. Poor girl. I think she may have scared him. She was cleaning his cage and then she reached in and tried to pet him. So he was probably scared from her cleaning out his cage and then he saw her little hand coming toward him and he reacted. She cried so hard.
Anyway I am going to bed early tonight I am really tired.
So goodnight! I hope you have a great day! I love you!!!

Red Powerade
All in my car...red powerade. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Kids are why I can't drive a nice car. GRRRRRR!!!!!
So we killed our first game. Second game killed us!
Second game got pretty intense. I hope once these tournaments start counting that they hire umpires. The parents were all yelling on the field calling plays today. The other team was yelling at the parents calling them cheaters...telling them to learn the rules. UMMMMMMM this is a 6u team, not MLB. I'm going to need everyone to calm down.
Man Christian's bat is on fire...STILL! My man was hittin bombs today!
He got robbed of his first home run. If we were not following tee ball rules, he would have hit a clean home run. He hit a solid ball into centerfield. Everyone was chasing it to the fence, they got it in about the time he was rounding 3rd. They threw it to the pitcher who called time....he was maybe one step from the dead ball line. He had to go back to 3rd.
It was awful! My man deserved that home run! It was his...I saw it...then they stole it from him! I'll try and get a video next time. He is a solid hitter now. Even Coach was saying how he couldn't believe how his bat has come alive. He said now we all wish 7u was coach pitch.
https://youtu.be/ez6m6Jt3Trs
I have to find time sometime to get stuff for Easter. And go grocery shopping. I should have done that saturday with Mason. But I didn't have my stuff together. I am not even sure what days we have practice this week. UGH! I need to get myself organized.
Alright well I hope you have a great day! I love you!

Murderer!!!
Sorry I didn't write you last night. I am so unimaginably tired this week. I am going to be a burnt out mess by the time you get back.
So I stepped on a toad tonight. OMG! I don't think I could be more devastated. I told Jacey I would dog sit this weekend. Because they went down to see the Braves play the Yankees (that's the game I wanted to take the kids to :( ) Anyway so it started raining, so I drove down there real quick to let her dogs out and I came back and I stepped on a toad. I am so very sad. I murdered him. :'(
Other than that today was uneventful. Baseball was cancelled again. Which is good because I am exhausted. We have a tournament at home this weekend but it is supposed to rain all weekend long. So maybe not.
Mason and I are going to try...TRY...and plant some vegetables. We decided tonight we are going to go buy the stuff tomorrow to plant them. Hopefully they live. LOL.
I hope you have a good day! I love you so much! Good night

Mixed Feelings
Well it sucked that our call got dropped. I kept hoping you would call back. O well...maybe tomorrow.
Anyway. So what to do, what to do...
The first day in the branch went well. It was uneventful. We hired that kid this morning. He was fantastic. I hope he turns out to be a good teller too, because he seems amazing so far.
But...I don't think I am a fan of the other one that I do not know. She seems...idk...lazy. Like a bare minimum person.
She was rude. I am not impressed so far. I mean you would think if your "new manager" was observing you for the day you would be on your A game right? She knows everyone except me...let me make a good impression. Ummmmm no. Didn't even complete the basic functions of her customer service role. She doesn't speak in complete sentences which is irritating. "How can I help?"
What? how you can you help? Help with what? Is it really so hard to add the "you" at the end of that sentence?
I'll have to tell you more on the phone. But I was not impressed.
I have heard so many bad things about where I am and the people that are there in the week I have been back. That makes me sad, because we were the place to beat. We were number 1 in everything and now...now we suck. Now people hear our name and go "your people need more training" that makes me sad.
But I got my orchid! It is pretty! I hope I don't kill it. And...AND...I can't get Thanksgiving off for competition. Now what? I guess I am going to have to see if Mattie or Lauren can take her. But I am really, really sad that I am going to miss it. O well...I guess I will figure something out.
Well, I hope you have a great day. I love you! Good night.

Another first day
So tomorrow is my first day in the branch. I don't get too long. I get today and tomorrow. Then back to training...yay!
So Addison is pulling up on everything now. Everything. If she can get her chubby little hands on it she is going to use it to stand up. Mom said she can stand up on her crib now. I haven't seen it but I can believe it because she was trying to do that last week. Guess I will have to move her crib mattress down this weekend.
So I forgot to tell you that this weekend may start the weekends of me having the kids 100% now. I kind of got a "this is probably going to happen this weekend" text the other day. But I haven't heard anything else since then. So we'll see.
Mattie and I were asked to be the team moms for cheer this year. I said yes...it couldn't possibly be too hard, and between myself and Mattie we can get it covered. Plus that means no working the gate for us...what what!!!! That's exciting. O and I guess I am going to have to set up a special account just for cheer. Because Lauren was saying that the hotel prices for nationals and regionals are ridiculous. And we have to stay at the hotels we are issued...she said this past season the price for A room was $350+ dollars when they went down there. That is CRAZAY!!!! So at least if I plan now, it will still suck just not as bad.
Anyway I hope you have a good day. I love you. Good night

Exhausted!
Absolutely exhausted!
I needed to do laundry today...none of that got done.
I swear it feels like the laundry is never ending in this house. Ever! There is always laundry to do. It never ends.
There is not much to say since I got to talk to you earlier. Everyone was exhausted.
O when I got home Mike met me in the front yard and said he saw the sprinkler was messed up and offered to fix it. So I am pretty sure he replaced it today. I talked to them for a long time but then I went in with the kids and didn't see them again. He didn't fix the time because I told him I wasn't worried about it. I said we would worry about that another day but that I did need to get the sprinkler head fixed. I am going to check it before I go to bed to see if it works. I hope so. I just thought it was funny that we were just talking about that and he met me in the driveway as I pulled in offering to fix it.
I finally found someone to keep the kids tomorrow if mom is still sick. Took me all day but I found someone. I try not to ask a lot for favors but it is nice to know she will help when I need her. Then I remember all the times she asks me to help at church so I shouldn't feel guilty...lol...if she couldn't do it she would say no right.
Well I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night.

night game
I was so excited for a night game tonight. Hooray. Our first game under lights. How exciting. WRONG...just wrong! All the boys were crazy. Just crazy. Wild. They were climbing the fences, running around being insane. Not listening, running in and out of the dugout. I was tempted to lock them in the dugout.
We lost. It was sad. We were doing so well, then we had that one bad inning and that was it, we lost it. Christian got a good hit...but he was chased down and tagged out. It was very dramatic...he wasn't tagged so much as he was shoved down. LOL. He went tumbling down the baseline...was covered in chalk and clay. After that he got a really nice foul ball, but nothing else.
He lost his spot in the top of the line up. He was very upset about that. I am not sure he has ever been at the bottom of the line up.
His coach also yelled at him tonight. Made him cry. LOL. I felt bad for him , but he told him after the game he holds him to a higher standard than the other boys so he is going to be harder on him.
Lily got to spend the entire day at Mattie's house. We went to pick her up from the gym and Mattie said do you mind if Lily hangs out with us so she doesn't have to go to the baseball game. So she got home about 9 tonight. She said she had a good time though. But that means that she didn't get pick out her Easter outfit. Christian picked out everyone's stuff. They all match. LOL. Lily's dress is a little more blue because Christian couldn't find one for her that matched everyone else. But him and Addison will have on the exact same colors. It was very cute. Hopefully Lily likes her dress. Christian put a lot of thought into it.
Anyway I need to go to bed. I am so very tired. Have a great day. I love you!

day 4
Not much to say about day 4.
Ready for day 5 to be over.
Christian did fantastic at practice tonight. He really did. His throws are looking better. He made a sliding stop on his knees. He backhanded a grounder and flipped it to second. It was awesome. He came so very close to catching a pop fly. We have practice tomorrow at 5 for the second team then a game saturday evening. Then another tournament but this time it is in Julington Creek.
Anyway I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night

day 3
So I missed writing about day 2. Day 2 was hectic.
Day 3 was excruciating. We went through file maintenance and address changes.
The highlight of my day was getting to see the Riverside branch. Jonathan works there now so I got to talk to him. Their branch is awesome. It is so high tech and awesome. The rest of it I zoned out for...she asked me a question one time and I was completely out of the class. I was like "what huh? I'm sorry...what did you say?" Then she gave the new kid a test and had me watch/help him complete his test on file maintenance and address changes.
I am so unimaginably tired though. I am not sure how I am going to do this and not be a complete train wreck by the time you get home. I am so tired...I have no desire to do anything. I got lunches premade and snacks packed. Other than that....the floors didn't get done...the baby's toys are still everywhere. I still have to pay the bills that have come in, and get myself prepared for tomorrow and all I want to do is crawl into bed. Mom keeps folding laundry for me and I haven't even had time or energy to put them away. I will have to get up early tomorrow and put them away.
O get this. I came home today and Addison is pulling up on everything. Mason's little cars stools that he has. She is pushing herself up on them and trying to stand. She can crawl up the first 2 steps of the stairs (guess it's time to keep the baby gate closed). I leave for one week and look at all the stuff she is doing. Not even one week I've been gone 3 days. She did have some separation anxiety tonight. She was fine when I got home, then when we got to church I put her in the high chair so I could go get dinner. She freaked out! It was horrible. She was hysterically crying. It was sad. But I gave her a cracker and she was fine. LOL.
Well I hope you have a good day! I love you! Good night
Day 3 was excruciating. We went through file maintenance and address changes.
The highlight of my day was getting to see the Riverside branch. Jonathan works there now so I got to talk to him. Their branch is awesome. It is so high tech and awesome. The rest of it I zoned out for...she asked me a question one time and I was completely out of the class. I was like "what huh? I'm sorry...what did you say?" Then she gave the new kid a test and had me watch/help him complete his test on file maintenance and address changes.

day 1
Well day 1 was uneventful. We had a meeting with the executives this afternoon and it really made me feel bad for the kid that is training with me. Everyone came in basically "O we are so excited you are back. Lakewood really needs you. It's going to be so great with you back. How's the kids? How's the baby?......o, hi? who are you?"
But then he got even with me. He had questions about everything...everything! Can you really be that interested in the CU's marketing strategy....shush...I want to go home. I am not sure what we are doing tomorrow, but they said we should get to leave early tomorrow too. I hope so. I still have a million tests to do. My eyes were starting cross today. I do not remember that many tests. BLEH.
I am liking this prepping the night before though...all the lunch stuff and snacks are packed. I got everyone in bed again before 8. WHAAAAAAA!!!!!
That will change for the rest of the week though because we have practice tues,thurs,fri...and then church on wednesday. Those are all late days.
Addison did well with mom. She said their day was good. She wasn't upset when I left and she wasn't real happy when I got home. She was a little clingy but nothing like I expected. Which I guess is a good thing.
Alright well have a good day. I missed getting to talk to you today. I love you
Good night.

double header
Today went really well. The second team forfeited so we technically only played one game but we also technically left that tournament undefeated. Christian got a really good hit. It is so weird how they have the leagues split up. So he is machine pitch every other game. But for the advanced team it is coach pitch and your last pitch is off the tee. WHAT!?! Anyway, so he got an amazing hit off the coach. Lead off hitter, first pitch...over the center fielder's head. It was great! The rest of his hits were off the tee, he fouled a few off but no more like that first one.
The team he plays with for advanced they are amazing. It is unreal. Those kids are good. Christian plays the outfield, which honestly I think will be good for him because he can play every other position except outfield. I think he genuinely had fun today. They are ordering uniforms apparently this week. I think we have another tournament this coming Sunday.
Thank goodness I can get the church sermons on podcast. I thought I was going to be able to go to the service but then Kenzie spit up all over me. All over me. It was nasty. So I went home so I could change.
So tomorrow is the day. I am not excited and I am not sad. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I am worried about leaving the kids for the whole day, especially Addison. We haven't been away from each other like this before. I am really nervous about that.
But I have everything all put together and ready to go. Everything except the kids' sandwiches are made. Their clothes are laid out. All I have to do is shower and do my hair. Then I am ready for tomorrow.
So I am going to go get that done so I can get to bed early. Have a good day, because I am going to assume I won't talk to you tomorrow.
I love you! Good night
Excuse our bed head, but we love some blackberries. She fed all her pancakes to the dog but wouldn't share her blackberries.
Snapped right before his hit.
This is what it looks like when you play baseball while you're getting over the flu. The second game may have forfeited but our guys stayed out to practice. That extra time hit him hard.

last night
Well tonight is my last free night before going back to work. Know what I did? Nothing...absolutely nothing. I swept the floors. LOL.
I did not get the room organized like I wanted to. O well. I will just have to make time for it later.
So today's game was good. I am glad I went. We ended up in a tie. Which is awesome considering we were down 4 runs most of the game. We had one kid hit a home run and score 1 then in the bottom of the last inning we scored 3 to tie it up. But we ran out of time so we had to end it in a tie. Better than a loss I guess.
I also learned that Christian has a double header tomorrow at Argyle. Luckily...I was told he will be there tomorrow. But, um, what do they wear? This team is made up of 5 different teams. Do we just wear game uniforms?
Not much else to talk about tonight. I have to just try and get everything ready for Monday tomorrow. Now I am starting to get nervous. I am sure everything will be fine but what if the house isn't put together the way I want it.
Alright well I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night

flu day 2
O.M.G!
I hate this huge, long post typed out for you and somehow managed to delete it all.
So you will just have to wait until you talk to me today! I cannot believe I did that.
Ugh!
I will pick up where I left off.
Addison actually crawled from the living room through the dining room into the kitchen through the front room to her bedroom when I was cleaning it tonight. It was amazing. I mean I know she can crawl and it isn't that amazing. But that is a long way for her to navigate and not get frustrated and start crying.
Well I hope you have a good day. Sorry I ruined this post, and deleted most of it :(
I love you!

Flu
Well everyone is on Tamiflu...except me. I think I am just going to boycott that nonsense! The kids say it is awful and disgusting. Christian only has to take it for 5 days...Lily has to take it for 10 days. LOL. Christian got her good on that one.
So I got the word tonight that Christian DID make the advanced team! I am so happy, you would think I made the advanced team. LOL. Of course he will be missing the first practice...or at least he should miss the first practice. I will leave that up to his father. I told his coach that I think technically he is still contagious until Saturday. Personally I would rather him rest tomorrow and be able to play Saturday. But I also know Christian will want to go out there if he knows he has practice tomorrow. He was upset he missed it tonight and he slept all afternoon. I feel so bad for him. He is always sick but I couldn't tell you the last time he was THIS sick. He hardly ate anything today. He had half a sandwich a few snacky things today. No dinner, nothing. He said everything tastes funny. Could that be from his fever? Hope so because I told him it was.
I have to take him and Addison with me tomorrow morning to get my drug test done for work. The lab in OP only has a small window that they do them. So I have to take them in the morning with me. I am sure the people in the lab will be pissed about that, but what am I supposed to do. I can't leave them home alone, and I am not leaving them in the car again. We've had enough of that for one week. Then I also have to take him to get him a cup for baseball. Ugh! I keep forgetting about that.
Thank goodness for Lysol and essential oils. I have to disinfect the entire house. Poor Addison and Christian were having withdrawals from each other by the end of the day. I wouldn't let them near each other. They couldn't snuggle or play. They were both freaking out. Every time she could get within eye sight of him she would scream out to him and be reaching her arms towards him "MAH BUBBA!!!" I ended up having to put everyone to bed early she was so fussy because she wanted him so bad. There was no way to soothe her without giving her to her brother.
Well I hope you have a great day! I love you so much! I cannot wait until you are home! Good night

Awanas
So, everything was going fine. The kids irritated me so I was giving the cold shoulder LOL. I call it a sanity break. I don't know why I bothered buying Lily new shoes...when she still insists on wearing the ones with holes in them. GRRR
Anyway, so I wasn't talking to them for a few minutes. So we went through dinner silently. They were good. They were actually awesome. I should ignore them more often. LOL.
So then we get into the church and they go. I go sit in the nursery. Kelly comes and gets me "Christian is throwing up...like bad....come quick"
WHAT!? He was just fine.
So I run up there. I mean I literally run up the stairs. He is sitting on the yucky bathroom floor, eyes all watery "I frew up mommy"
UHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! :(
So we all go home. Now he has a fever. Well I guess at least it happened BEFORE I went back to work. But jeez....who gets sick while they are taking antibiotics!? Apparently Christian. How is that possible...aren't antibiotics supposed to make you better? How do you get sick while taking them? Maybe it was something he ate, maybe he'll be ok in the morning. Hopefully. But probably not, he's in our bed right now. Poor thing.
Lily nor Christian have ever thrown up before...this is a first. Poor guy.
So we are hoping for no sick babies tomorrow...I really don't want my babies to be sick, and I was really looking forward to going to the gym.
Alright well I hope you have a good day. I love you! Good night.

Success
Well week 1 of 2 practices in one day I call a success. I was able to get everyone fed, homework done, grand prix cars painted and decorated, and everyone where they needed to be on time. I call that a success.
Poor Christian is having such a hard time batting. I am trying to leave him alone but he is getting conflicting information all over. His coaches tell him one thing, his dad tells him another. He is so confused. His dad is being an awful bleachers coach and it is starting to irritate me. I will have to tell you on the phone what all happened. But I am also in a really bad mood this evening. So maybe I should just sleep on how I am feeling.
I am in one of those moods where I should be in a cage on display somewhere. I am dangerous. LOL.I just don't need to talk to anybody. If I am in a mood like this tomorrow I don't think I am going to go work in the school. It's bad.
So the sippy cup for Addison is working out great now. She is back up to 3 8oz drinks a day. I am hoping to squeeze a 4th one in there. But the past few days she has cut out her bedtime "drink". She did tonight too...she just went right to bed. But the sippy cup is working so well. She is drinking from them so good. Much better than trying to force feed her a bottle.
Well I hope you have a great day. I love you! Good night
