Mommy's Playtime Home

Les currently works with Access Control Systems in Nashville, TN. He's proud to say he's been alcohol free for 7 months and continues on one day at a time.  He loves to work on his GMC Jimmy and go four-wheeling with his buds. He finally had a chance to make it to the local four-wheeling place 'Wooly's Off Road'. We had a blast, although he's got some work to do on the truck now. It was pushed to it's limits that day and proved to be worth every penny spent on it. Minor work will get it up and running again in no time.  Watch for our off-road pictures. I'll get them posted soon.  He's also starting his own business. So, if you need some help with your computer or any audio/video devices, he's the guy.  You can CONTACT HIM for more info. 

Robin is currently working on starting a playgroup and support group for local stay at home moms. It's called Mommy's Play Time. Check out our website at www.mommysplaytime.com. I believe the playgroup is mostly for the Moms, but will also benefit the children.  I'm also learning a bit on carpentry. I'm trying my hand at redoing some shelves. I'm also learning how to do mosaic art. I'll let you know how my projects turn out.

Gracie continues to impress me by her knowledge everyday. She can even remember what TV show comes on next. She never ceases to amaze me.  She's can count to ten now and say her ABC's. Her vocabulary seems to expand every minute. She will repeat anything. She's learning her colors. She loves to sit and color in her coloring books, although sometime she gets a little carried away. She tries so hard to stay in the lines. I think her current favorite show is 'Blue's Clues'. I think she could watch it non-stop all day if I'd let her. She also enjoys Shrek 1,2,&3 (don't ask me how at her age she can tell each one apart) and Barnyard (as she calls it 'The Cow Movie'). If you haven't seen Barnyard, it is a cute movie. We are still working on potty training. One day we'll get it. She wants to be a baby like Josh, so she doesn't want to be a big girl and use the potty. I'm hoping to have her potty trained by April when we go to Las Vegas. That trip ought to prove to be interesting.  She doesn't want take her daily nap, which makes the afternoon even more interesting. I guess she's afraid she'll miss something.  Gracie is definitely a Daddy's girl. She's all about riding in Daddy's big truck. She runs around the house screaming when Daddy comes home from work everyday. She's going to be Daddy's little sidekick.  She's a bit clingy to Mommy, though, when it comes time for Mommy to go somewhere. I'm hoping she will soon realize that Mommy will be back, which will make it a little easier for me to leave when I need to.  Gracie is definitely a non-stop bundle of energy and fun. Her creativity and imagination keeps us entertained and our life interesting. 

Joshua is growing leaps and bounds. At his 9 month check up, he weighed 20lbs 9ozs, and measured 31" in length.   He no longer needs physical therapy. The physical therapist said he has caught up to where he should be. At this point, he'll go back only if I feel he's lagging behind. The child development center is still coming twice a month, but they will re-evaluate him in December and see if he still needs to be seen.  He's currently doing the belly crawl or the military crawl. He seems to get anywhere he wants to go. I'm sure it's much harder to learn to crawl on our hardwood floors. The physical therapist said she has seen that tendency in the children she sees regularly. Too much slipping and sliding going on for him to stay up on his knees. He improvises and just does to belly crawl to get where he wants to go.   He's my little grinner. He's got the most precious smile, and melts my heart every time. We are trying him on pureed table food. He's not liking it too much, but I'm hoping he'll get used to it. I think it's the consistency of the food. He's used to the bought baby food. Hopefully, it won't be much longer before he gets used to it. He laughs out loud and says "da da".  I'm really working hard on getting him to say "ma ma". One day he'll get it.  He's extremely ticklish. He also loves being sung too. He'll grin and laugh anytime I sing to him. He's my little angel.
