Text of the page (random words):
2016 october alright so first off big news i ve decided to discontinue the blog it was a really hard decision and it makes me sad every time i think about it but it needed to happen the stress that it causes me to create these massive posts every single month is just not worth it i ve been trying to think of a solution for months years including making them smaller using a different website etc etc and i ve never felt good about any of the options so i ve just kept going because having this record is too important to me to stop without having an alternative i ve finally hit on an alternative that i can live with from now on i m going to up my instagram posts so that all the content i would have posted on here is on instagram i ve been on ig for a while but i always tried to limit my posts so as not to annoy people but you know what i m over the fear of annoying people i will be completely unoffended if people stop following me on ig because i m cluttering their feed and no one is obligated to follow me that way i can record little by little each day and on a more convenient medium instead of spending a huge chunk of my free time each month on the blog i feel like that is a great decision anyway so if you re sad this blog is ending grandma get on instagram and go follow me you ll get all the content that would have been on the blog just in a different place onto the updates i finished last month s post late and i tend to blend in things from the next month when i do that so i don t have that much new to say about this month the big things were conference going to disneyland for tom s birthday my friend jen coming for a visit and halloween i ll talk about all of those as i go through the pictures emerson is becoming more of a person every month he s definitely more of a toddler than a baby now though i can t get myself to stop calling him one words he s learned since the last post potty merci seesaw all done all gone train please pepper orange blocks rawr the sound his stuffed tiger makes boots emerson jesus amen pen more grape choo choo also something funny to note is that i noticed that when he comes over to me and whines for me to pick him up a very common occurrence he says daddy and i realized that he almost never says mommy so i think somehow daddy means either parent to him or snuggle to him also apple means fruit he says all done whenever we re doing something he doesn t like diaper change face wipe and he wants it to be over harper had a bit of a rough time for some of the month because she gets congested a lot and her nose tends to bother her it would throw her into full on tantrums several times daily finally i started to saline rinses and whether it was that or something else she s definitely been complaining about it much less for the last week or so whew she was also whining a lot about how her clothes felt and i feel like that has started to taper too though still there we started having her sleep in emerson s room at nighttime this month too this was a big deal so up until this month the arrangement was that i would sleep on the queen bed in the bedroom and emerson would sleep in the pack n play in that room as well harper and tom would sleep on the fold out twin beds in the living room reason being that harper often gets scared or lonely in there by herself wakes up in the middle of the night crying for various reasons and is loud when she wakes in the morning we needed someone in there with her to mitigate all of that so that she would feel better and wouldn t be constantly waking e the problem of course was that tom and i were in different rooms while we slept and it also led to us being in different rooms before we slept plus we were never alone there was always another kid around even if they were sleeping all of this was really effecting our sanity so we decided to at least try out putting harper on the queen bed in the bedroom with emerson we figured that there would be an adjustment period but that in the end they d both adjust to each other s noises and that even if it resulted in some loss of sleep for everyone it was worth it the first night after we put harper in the room tom and i looked at each other and realized it was the first time we were in the same room alone since we ve been in paris ah totally worth it there was definitely an adjustment period where h was waking frequently at night for a few nights but e was a remarkably sound sleeper through it all and we ve coached her quite a bit on being quiet when she wakes up so that mornings haven t been much of an issue either so i m so glad we did it woohoo it has been so worth it alright onto the pictures and videos conference weekend general conference for the lds church look it up was lovely harp had a bowl of peanut m ms that she bought from her birthday money given to her by my grandma which she was stoked about plus we had lots of other special treats conference started at 6pm here so the first session each night was when the kids were awake harp actually really enjoyed it and sometimes really watched and listened intently on monday she was super sad when we told her it was over and that she d have to wait a long time for it to come back anyway it was great m ms bowl playdough set she got from tom s parents for her birthday more conference fun just emerson just harper playing at the park daddy harper scootering at the musee d orsay he is using my boot for a chair because he s adorable just being silly at the park with dad carrot for the win was sitting at the mairie city hall waiting when i picked up this magazine about the 7th arrondissement our neighborhood and saw a picture of harp s class on the first day of school where it says p 06 it was in there because the mayor came had a lovely outing to the notre dame and surrounding area back side statue on south side my favorite little nook in the louvre gardens had lunch on one of the local bridges where people hang love locks kids enjoyed looking at them and wandering around and harp enjoyed pushing panda in her play stroller all over it our fold out couches are always accumulating things under them this was the loot i recovered one day he was tuckered she was so proud of herself for getting her coat on all by herself it s upside down tom accidentally gave emerson nursemaid s elbow and i looked up youtube videos on how to fix it and heroically did so it happened again the next day another notre dame area outing went inside the notre dame and they happened to be doing some sort of ceremony really fun to watch with the bigness of it all music building people beautiful garden area inside the hotel dieu hospital right by the notre dame and so quiet flower market by the notre dame crepe eating spot tom taught harp good basketball form there is always a race going on by our house on our way back from church disneyland we had a great day at disneyland tom had never been to disneyland until about 3 years ago but it was love at first visit it s his happy place some things we noticed that were different between disneyland and disneyland paris way less crowded longest wait was probably 15 20 min and walked right onto many rides very lush and green and beautiful more spread out space mountain indiana jones and haunted mansion were all very different and cooler space mountain was awesome area just outside the park between the 2 parks and where tickets are sold etc is a lot more landscaped and visually appealing much colder obviously anyway it was a good day it started off a little rough though the first few attractions just weren t great for the kids or us and harper was complaining of pain in her cheek the first real ride we went on was the snow white ride i had no idea it was so scary poor harp was terrified she screamed all the way through and kept talking about the mean witches who laughed at her all day long like we literally could not get her to talk about anything else no matter how hard we tried it got pretty comical at times so sad and cute at the same time she was very worried that the witches were going to leave disneyland and visit her at home and we kept assuring her that they wouldn t the rest of the day was fun though we got it all out of the way at the beginning not a great age for dland he was constantly taking off trying to wander all around and wasn t a fan of the lines good thing they were tiny if he wasn t on a leash we may have lost him a favorite of harp s he got a small stroller nap woohoo she wasn t of a fan of the rockets bouncing up and down whenever you handled the throttle even the birds are super happy at disneyland autopia was by far her favorite ride it was a great bonding experience and she was just so giddy the whole time so cute he tried to climb out of dumbo the whole time but i managed to capture some cute pictures and videos anyway super proud to take a selfie of all 4 of us with everyone looking and smiling what inside it s a small world e s favorite part of the day was playing on the changing table just documenting the sound he makes when he wants something the birds there just looked really cool had never seen any like them had a good time in the play area this was harp s favorite spot and she was always begging us to go in there with her pirate harper we obliged much cooler looking haunted mansion and that was disneyland being sweet playmates emerson learned to spin the fromagerie cheese shop on our street androuet hosted a cheese tasting for the kids in harp s class i got to help out the kids got a selection of various cheeses as well as grapes apples and pears and some really sour milk the take away french kids are just as picky with their food as american kids are most of them barely touched the food didn t help that it wasn t really at mealtime though emerson s favorite game that harp occasionally does too is putting crayons in boots seriously all the time e learned how to go up the stairs and down the slide all by himself break for mom e is a dancing machine he is the most reliable dancer i know tom got some action figures from his parents for his birthday my favorite part of this is e trying to copy what tom does with them spinning got her face painted at the ward african party or my african party as harper liked to say she requested a princess but the sister missionary didn t know how to do one so she did butterflies harp was convinced they were princesses though and would look at anyone who said otherwise like they were mental magnetic toys metal chairs win glasses that came with a toy from my mom harp loves them my friend jen came to visit woohoo so cool to have a friend in town and super surreal too she had a cute little hotel room right on the river i watched the kids extra so tom could get extra done the week before so that i could spend lots of time traipsing all over town with her it worked out pretty well we went to the louvre some of the rooms in the louvre have really beautiful ceilings pont alma bridge so beautiful eiffel tower carrousel at the eiffel tower arc de triomphe champs elysees emerson went through a phase where he would whine and whine for whatever book h was looking at then when he finally got it he d put it down and stand on it tom has quite enjoyed the action heroes his parents got him for his birthday got some rockin hot cocoa while out with jen this is angelina s famous white hot cocoa it was truly amazing but so expensive louvre crazy story so at a lot of the tourist sites there are these hoards of scammers with clip boards who make up some reason why they need your information like a petition or something and then use the information for some nefarious purpose jen and i both knew it was a scam so when one of them tried to get us to sign while we were walking at the tuileries we said no and ignored them they kept following and asking us over and over though then i heard them call out to someone else and say something in a different language not french pretty soon i looked back and there was a bunch of them all together following right behind us still asking us to sign before long they were right up to us and it dawned on me that they were probably trying another pickpocketing trick i d heard about which is to surround people and get close enough so that they re being touched on all sides so that they don t notice in all the confusion that a hand is being slipped into your pocket purse i immediately looked over and saw that one of them was reaching into jen s purse i started slapping at it and yelling at them then the girl hissed at me straight up creepy anyway we obviously booked it out of there luckily both of us had kept our valuables in pretty safe spots and nothing was stollen but it was pretty crazy anyway the crowds at the sacre coeur and some girl doing who knows what with her phone over and over street nearby the sacre coeur palais royal e enjoying a baguette in the most adorable way possible went to the park and e kept going in this little corner and just wandering around like a lost man he d be over there for like 15 minutes at a time schools in france had a 2 week break in october but you could still send them to school where they d just play if you wanted i sent her a few mornings so she would still see her friends one day they went on a field trip tried to understand where but just got that it had something to do with space they looked super cute walking back in their oversized safety jackets eating lunch on some church steps when i was off picking up harp and tom and e were on the steps alone this lady walked by and said something to tom he indicated that he didn t speak french and she asked if he d been baptized yet he said not yet she did the sign of the cross a few times and said soon soon child of god messy messy face one of my favorite harp videos ever he doesn t even need music to dance went to the luxembourg gardens and fall was in full splendor my favorite fountain kids were renting vintage wooden sailboats to push around the water with sticks 3 year olds are very good problem solvers rocks sticks buckets happiness polite frenchman merci just a quick stop at luxembourg gardens with my boy while running errands baby belly s are the best we went trick or treating on the 1st so i spent halloween doing some grown up trick or treating i went to the salon du chocolat a huge chocolate expo there were 300 booths with beautiful displays of the most amazing looking and tasting chocolate you ve ever seen and tasted and most of them were handing out samples by the end i d had so much chocolate i felt like i d never want any ever again high class fruitcakes nougat the collars they are wearing mean they are the meuilleur ouvrier of france master pastry chocolate candy chefs it s a really big deal and takes a lot of work to get there they are like celebrities the map and list of booths since we weren t trick or treating til the next day we spent halloween night watching halloween kids shows and eating specia...
