Today wasn't so bad - Neil and I are already part-way through a 5 day inferno with meal plans and exercise routines that came with my TurboFire DVDs I bought a few years ago. We've made some substitutions or repeated some of the meals though, because who would honestly have 8 oz cottage cheese and 2 pineapple rings as your breakfast?? Instead, we had 2 pieces of toast, an egg, and a slice of turkey bacon.
So, all I've needed to add in is reading & writing! So here's today's blog post :)
Other highlights of today: doctor appts with all 3 kids. Regular checkups on Ruth & Tristan, and Ben "hurt his heart" (tweaked his chest and made some cartilege sore) when we were in OR. He will just keep feeling better - apparently it's like when you get a bad cough and your chest starts to hurt, but it will fade over time. He also chose to get a flu SHOT instead of a nose squirt because he REALLY wanted to earn $1 for not crying when getting a shot. Tristan opted for the nose squirt :P
Lastly - during scriptures tonight, Tristan was reading. There are some long words, like "according" or "therefore" that we help him sound out. I didn't even let him try to sound out "Lachoneus", I just said it for him, which prompted him to say "I already KNOW that one!" My bad... I suppose we have been reading about Lachoneus for the last couple days so he probably really did recognize the word. He was able to say it again in a later verse with no parental help.
