So today was a pretty low key day. The little Diva and I ran a few errands - she fell asleep in the car on the way back so we didn't end up going to her play group. I'm hoping next week will find us more on track with our schedule again. I think she's been getting pretty bored with being cooped up at home and being really sicky on the weekend didn't help either.
I would have loved to take her outside to play this afternoon but it was really chilly so we just hung out inside. We coloured, built towers, watched tv, played with play dough, read books and played kitchen. In between we ate and argued about why she shouldn't climb into/unpack the plastic cupboard (There was some crying and stomping of feet and even a full body floor tantrum - no no not me - the little diva!). Then we played some more and I convinced the little Diva that daddy would be home from work soon.
She's been acting sleepy in the afternoons for a few days now and I'm still in two minds about letting her have a second nap. She gave that up several months ago but it looks like she wants it back. I'm just worried that if I let her nap twice she wont want to go to bed at night. Oh well - I think I might give it a try tomorrow at least that way if she won't go to bed it's not a work day the next morning for the hubby!
I spent 2 hours tonight cleaning our main floor and all I kept thinking was - surely I could move faster or something; this is taking WAY too long! Haha I was also trying not to make tooo much noise with my sweeping - didn't want to wake the little Diva. She's been "helping" daddy sweep up her cheerios for the longest time now and this week Daddy found her a diva sized broom. It has been a HUGE hit and she's spent a good chunk of the day doing "dirt redistribution" - I mean sweeping.... it is super cute to watch! Can't believe how fast she is growing up.
At one point today the little Diva and I had the following conversation:
Little Diva: "is hungy"
Me: "Yeah? you're hungry?"
Little Diva: "yeah eat" - *makes eating gesture*
Me: "what do you want to eat?"
Little Diva: "cake!!"
She had the cheekiest little grin on her face and I'm thinking that we are going to have to bake some mini cupcakes together soon so she can decorate and eat her "cake"! For the record we had just eaten lunch so she wasn't actually hungry as was made evident by her inability to finish the cookie I had to substitute for cake. :)
Anywho I'm starting to think that this blog is moving more to a "Daily blog" than a "recipe blog" - but I'm ok with that. I figure I'll keep sharing good recipes when they crop up and as long as I'm blogging I'm doing better with any of my previous blogs - yay me! :D
For the record I made my standard "can't think what to make for dinner recipe". I simply cooked some veggies and ground chicken in a pot with pasta sauce for flavouring and served it with couscous. I tried to mimic the divine rice we ate at dadoos and dadda's last night but that was a miserable failure... hehe
