Can't Wait
Really just posting something to say, I'm so excited for the convention! Hoping I have all the kids outfits ready. Shoes for four girls is one of the biggest things; do they feel comfortable enough for all day, do they look good with the outfits you've picked, are your nails painted and trimmed up? Then there's hair. Thankfully Vaya barely has any. So hair for three girls...FUN! All books ready to go. Vaya time management items. Stickers. Snacks. Chapsticks. Trinkets & oddities to keep a near two year old under control, for three days straight. Lunch planning, dinner planning. Freshly washed blankets to cart back and forth each day, sweaters too. I love conventions. The work to pull it off is a daunting task, but always well worth it. May Jehovah bless all the families attending with patience and joy. If anyone has a favourite trick they've learned to keeping toddlers happy let me know. I believe we all can use the help:) My favourite is tons of varied stickers, something new for every time they're about to lose it. I'm certain that I've had, more then once, a sticker stuck to the back of my skirt through lunch time visiting, but hey, I'm a mom. If I can't pull off having a giant sparkly flower stuck to my butt, who can! It's worth it to keep them entertained even one second more. Anyway, hope all your convention experiences go well this year! ~R

If you think shopping for girls is hard try finding suits for a 'husky' boy. Keenan and I scoured the city looking for something that fit, it was nothing like taking Katya to the spa for a haircut and some pampering.
ReplyDeleteOur plan with Dax this year is to walk, walk the halls until he can't walk any more. It should be easier to listen while walking than wrestling with him at the seat while the chair bangs up and down. Like Betty Billey said 'it's only by holy spirit that we enduring parenting, don't worry, you will have more time than you know what to do with when they leave home'.
Its funny how the hardest things are often the most rewarding.
Anyway, I will keep an eye out for the sticker on your but:)
