Some Recent Things
Tuesday, April 7, 2026
The time change brought some much-needed sunshine in the evenings. However, the “earlier” mornings have been a bit of a struggle to get used to this year. Most days, I am dragging. But I actually love this shift that we get. Having more sunshine in the afternoons is my jam. Anyway, things have been a little heavy here on the blog lately. So, I want to share a few positive life updates.
Emery is currently at the end of track season. She just completed cheer tryouts and was named the Junior Cheer Captain. She’s been doing really well in her classes, minus Algebra 2. But that’s looking more like a teacher problem rather than a student problem. While I take my teenager seriously, I also know her very well. She’s not perfect, and sometimes she’s a bit dramatic. So no, it’s not just her feedback that’s causing me to make that claim. Other factors are also playing into my opinion. And don’t come at me about teachers, I have a lot of respect for them and feel they should be paid way more. Moving along. Emery has started to show interest in driving again, BUT there is A LOT of anxiety with it. And not just from her, but me as well. So much so that I’m considering enrolling her in driving school over the summer if we haven’t made any progress by then. Other than that, we are in the home stretch to the end of Sophomore year. And that passed by so freaking fast.
Little man is healthy, growing, and walking! Can you believe it? We still co-sleep, and I am still breastfeeding. He still wakes up throughout the night. So, on a good day, we get about 7 hours of interrupted sleep. That doesn’t stop him from waking up with a smile on his face and outstretched arms most mornings, though. He has had some issues with ear infections and was scheduled to have tubes placed in his ears recently. Unfortunately, his procedure had to be rescheduled due to RSV - better safe than sorry. He has been learning more words, but his favorites are “No” and “Stop.” Can you guess where he’s hearing those the most at? He loves hanging out in his sister’s room, though that sentiment is very one-sided. And some mornings, he wakes up talking about his dad. A little sad, but also cute that he’s thinking of him. We had his first Easter egg “hunt” last week at daycare. It was so cute getting to see all of the kids wobble and crawl around picking up eggs.
Overall, everyone is doing well! Life is chugging right along, and we’ve got some upcoming decisions/changes to walk through. It’s been a bit stressful for me, but I know everything will work itself out. Until the next one, ✌.
