kindergartener to your great grandma at 6 00 am 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels solid advice things you should read tv wednesday april 28 2021 100 years later you know it s been a minute since you blogged when you go to your blog and then stare at the screen and the most recent post from 1 5 years ago for five minutes trying to figure out what to do to start a new post ha am i 400 years old or is it that after faithfully blogging for what felt like a lonnnnng time i ve well and truly forgotten how to do it i ll let you decide that one also let it be noted that being out of the habit of blogging does not mean i ve forgotten the thrill of receiving blog comments shout out to the filthy comment bots that find a 9 year old post every now and then and helpfully leave garbled comments with hot tips about products that can increase my manhood and or make me rich if only i click this link i ain t clicking but i do appreciate y all thinking of me and finding some ancient story about my deep thoughts on that day s lunch and gym exploits fascinating and worthy of your robot time at any rate it s turned out to be a slow afternoon so i was digging deep and trying to remember what i used to do during slow afternoons and here we are i highly doubt anyone is anxiously awaiting a life update from me but just in case why not the girls in my zoom book club affectionately known as blog friends book club since we all met via blogging regularly harass me about not blogging but even they do not need this update since our monthly meetings instagram keep them in the know but i digress well since the last time we spoke here in august 2019 there was a pesky global pandemic that made life quite interesting i m going for positivity here so nothing about the last year has been normal for my family as i know applies to everyone just need to write it down though so that the next time i blog appx 2025 if trends hold i will remember the context of this year because i m sure otherwise i would never remember what a very special special time 2020 2021 was mmmhmm kiddos yep still plural there still can only show you pictures of one of em though as you may recall we because foster parents in june 2019 we were quickly placed with twin girlies who stayed with us for five wonderful and chaotic and lovely and tear filled months we said goodbye to them right before the holidays and took a little over a month off to breathe and focus on our family of 3 in january of 2020 though we said yes to our next placement and welcomed the absolutely cutest sweetest baby girl ever or since millie was a baby obviously into our home we expected her to stay for a short time maybe a few weeks but you will all be utterly shocked to learn that she is still with us and we hope this will be the case for oh ya know forever fingers crossed and that s all i can say but keep checking back and maybe in a few months or 5 years i will update again and be able to share pictures but millie or camilla as she prefers anyone not family to call her is doing great she s 6 5 almost done with first grade and nothing but personality and opinions she adores being a big sissy though she is going to adore it more when little sis can play according to her ever changing rules yes millie is in the stage where she likes to micromanage every single aspect of play thus sucking all potential fun out of it if you re me ok now you take the baby and say _____ and now you go over there and sit down and do ____ and okay but can i not please just make a few of my own choices as we play house sheesh anyway i too am anxiously awaiting the day baby sis can be bossed around in play so that i can go water the plants or something for the love one thing the whole family can agree on though our favorite family tv show naked afraid haaa but for real we watch it together all the time and this guides most of our outdoor adventures as well we go on lottttssss of walks around town shoutout to the 1 and only entertainment option of 2020 and on some trails in the woods nearby and we have all learned so much from watching that show we spend our time discussing the best place to make shelters whether water looks potable or not and pondering what kinds of predators might be after us in any given place and then we walk home and enjoy eating and sleeping in our nice air conditioned home it s really the best of all worlds since the bates fam has no desire to actually camp or experience nature too much so there s your hot parenting tip for today slash this year and probably next year too a show the whole family can enjoy and learn from exhibit a a bamboo forest near our home that had a lot of shelter building potential and maybe even some panda bear potential since we pretty much spent the last year at home we re the mask wearing scientific advice following err on the side of caution type folks we ve had lots of time together as a family and are happy to report that we still like one another and more importantly matt and i both ended up buying adult scooters and with the baby on one of our backs in an ergo we take many family scoot scoots around town and are well acquainted with basically every human dog cat flowering bush and holiday decoration within a two mile radius of our house we ventured off our street for spring break and made our way down to a house on an empty beach on cape san blas and it was a delight but the water was freezing matt erika or you could say matt y erika see what i did there matt and i both worked from home beginning in march of last year matt is still working from home and will be permanently as it was apparently a big hit with his company i started phasing back into my office in january with a hybrid wfh work at office schedule and have been full time back in the office since the beginning of april i truly loved working from home and even enjoyed the extremely chaotic double dip of working from home full time while managing millie s digital learning for the fall semester we sent her back to in person school in january when my office s patience with me being home all the time ran out haha she is doing great at school but i so miss getting to see her throughout the day kids man but most excitingly matt and i are now both double vaxxed post two weeks and so excited we celebrated by re joining the ymca last week which is great but not as great as my real congrats on surviving being stuck at home for a year with your very loud children present to myself which is a very fancy by athens standards and long awaited mani pedi with allll the extras it s been a long time since march 13 2020 actually as the first thing my coworker and i did when we got sent home from the office for two weeks was stop and get our nails done in case we wouldn t be able to do it again for gasp like a whole month or something oh to be so young and innocent and i am very excited sure nail salons have been re opened for a long time here but spending any unnecessary time indoors in public places is not a thing i have been willing to do until i was fully vaxxed so now is the time i am perhaps overly excited it s fine just give it to me i am so thankful that relatively speaking the last year has been bad only in a stress and inconvenience sort of way though many of our family members and friends got the virus no one close to us passed away and i am deeply thankful for that and aware that it certainly is not everyone s situation as someone who during a normal year has a 9 5 lives half an hour out of town has kids and millions of foster care related appointments and is fairly introverted i don t generally have a busy social life or a group of friends i see regularly beyond work friends and church friends by far the best part the last year has been the close friendships i ve developed with a group of girls that started with our bachelor group text remember how pilot pete s season ended just as the world shut down and just kinda never stopped those girls a subset of my real life book club ya know the bach watching contingent of the club haha were my constant text companions and eventually real life companions too as we started gathering masked up around someone s fire pit for long conversations after our kids all went to bed i imagine my feelings for them are something like what soldiers might feel for the people they went to war with but those ladies were a life saver this past year and the joy we ve shared as we ve slowly all gotten ourselves and our partners vaccinated is just priceless i cannot wait to sit inside their actual houses very soon and drink my margaritas without a mask in my way i guess that sums up the last year ish pretty much i should note that we had to say goodbye to sweet lola our beloved doggie in february 2020 thanks a lot 2020 we missed her greatly those first few months of being home all the time and know she would have been so happy to have her people home all of the time thankfully we welcomed a new furry friend into our home in august and lucy is the sweetest little blond ragamuffin dog she s definitely the girls favorite member of the family and our house is just a lot happier with a dog running around in it as school wraps up and the hot weather rolls in we look forward to more walks more naked afraid marathons more time with friends more time working out hahahahaa i mean yes but am i actually looking forward to it debatable and less time scrubbing makeup off the inside of masks the worst why do i even bother with makeup honestly more importantly i look forward to hopefully someday soon telling millie she s gonna get to be a big sissy forever that all of her dandelion wishes have paid off it s legit what she wishes for every time until next time friends xo at 4 28 pm 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels family friends kids wednesday august 21 2019 five well would you look at that a few months have gone by our family has gone through some pretty major changes and my 1 best girl turned five years old we ll start with a quick update on millie and then move to the other big five that is the fact that we ve been a family of five now for a few months we celebrated millie s birthday with a party at a local park apparently she has no respect for the fact that her birthday is in early august and we live in georgia and it s perpetually 39 000 degrees outside and no one wants to be out in all that nevertheless she begged to have a party in nature so we can swim and play on the rocks and run and get sweaty and so we did just that man this girl is something she remains impossibly adorable with giant eyes that will just sucker you right into doing whatever it is you thought you weren t going to do she s smart fiercely determined outgoing and passionate she loves unicorns mermaids rainbows and glitter she is a true little earth lover makes me so proud insisting on picking up litter wherever we go asking all kinds of questions about how we can take care of the earth better and being the first person to call you out if you toss something recyclable into the trash she adores being hot and sweaty and regularly begs me to turn on the heat in the car please recall we live in georgia and it is august so that she can get nice and sweaty trust me i know how to say no to that one millie still thrives on a schedule and plans and can struggle to deviate from her plan even if you re offering something better more fun she adores reading books though she still can t quite read playing pretend with her dolls stuffed animals and other toys and is equally happy playing by herself or with others she learned to swim really well this summer and is a regular fish in the pool she loves dancing and yoga and is just as happy doing them in the living room at home as going to classes she took ballet and tap last year but we aren t planning to do it this year due to other big family changes haha but she goes to a kid yoga class at the y on saturdays that she adores and she hasn t even asked about going back to dance class yet so hopefully she ll be fine with her at home practice at her five year old check up she weighed in at 44 pounds 75 percentile and 43 5 inches tall also 75 percentile she wears 4t and 5t clothes or a 4 5 xs in girls note i love this size which she s been for over a year now because i can shop from both the toddler and girls sections of stores gimme all the clearance clothes she wears a size 10 shoe although her percentiles would indicate she s on the tall average size for her age i find that she generally looks smaller than average in a group of other kindergartners which could just be because she s on the very young end of her grade she apparently notices this as well because she regularly asks if she has grown bigger yet i mean like as we re eating breakfast before school mommy did i grow any or am i still going to be small today bless it she started kindergarten at our neighborhood elementary school the same place she went to pre k last year we were absolutely thrilled with our experience at the school last year and are so excited to spend the next six years there too haha millie or camilla as they call her at school is so excited to learn to read this year and also loving that kindergartners get to go to specials each day pe music art science lab and computer lab they rotate through those and go to one each day for an hour today she told me that her goal is to be the special helper in science lab because the helper gets to wear a lab coat total kindergartengoals right she loves walking to school because she can get hot and sweaty remember and on days when i m not able to walk her she walks with our neighbors her best little friend who is also kindergarten and also about 4 feet taller than mills and 9 months older which is possibly one reason she is constantly wondering if she s grown yet she does express dreams of riding on the school bus one day but thus far we ve managed to avoid it besides she would hardly be able to get sweaty on a bus right being millie s mama is my favorite thing on earth she isn t perfect but she s just perfect for me and yes i got her a riding unicorn for her birthday because the whole point of having kids is to make all your own unfulfilled childhood dreams come true right or something at any rate she loves it as much as i do and if y...
