Daddy’s Birthday Week

We celebrated Daddy’s birthday week last week! Happiest of birthdays to THE most wonderful husband in the world. We love, love, love you tons! Here are some highlights:

Nico’s last day of spring break was last Monday, so Roberto took the day off and spent the day withNico at Fun Spot Orlando. Nico did SUPER GREAT overall. He winced on the rides because it was loud (thanks again, school fire drill 😒), but other than thay he had tons of fun. He got to see and pet a snake and a baby gator. He even did really well sitting and staying put to eat his lunch there (personal pizza…which he devoured, lol).                     

• On Tuesday Nico went back to school and had a good first day. We had a dinner playdate that evening and Nico did great as well. That was also the first time Nico was in underwear out of the house and he didn’t have any accidents!! 👏🏻 He still doesn’t tell me when he needs to go. I need to buy more underwear for him so we can just have him in underwear all the time and not worry if we have enough whenever he has accidents. 
• It was Roberto’s birthday on Wednesday so we went to a petting farm in the morning. Nico didn’t do as well. He was more interested in the fire truck and the playground than the animals. I think we only got to pet the turtles and looked at some rabbits. We got the annual pass so hopefully the next few times we visit he’ll be better at petting the animals.                 
• We also had an early birthday dinner for Roberto that Wednesday with his family. Nico did not do well at all. I think he had a meltdown for about an hour? Oy vey. He’s also starting to say/ask for “pow pow” and even spanking himself. Yes, we discipline him. No, it’s not abuse. Yes, it works for our family. Yes, it’s biblical. I’m not sure what to do when he does this pow-pow thing…do we ignore him?? We really don’t know. Anyways, he finally calmed down when I laid down with him alone in our bed with the iPad. 
• On Saturday I was home with the kids for most of the morning and afternoon while hubby helped some family move. Thankfully, both kids were very good. In the evening I went to a bridal shower so I was able to have some “me” time. 😊
• On Sunday we celebrated our Lord’s resurrection. Nico and Julian did quite well in Sunday school. Nico’s teacher said that there was a point when Nico started becoming irrational (asking for something, then not wanting it, then asking for it again, etc.), but they were able to thwart that. Phew. I’m so glad they are able to handle his quirks well. We then went to my parents’ for Easyer lunch and an egg hunt. Nico loved the egg hunt. Probably because he had a Minion egg basket. 😂     

Hoping for a great week this week! Thanks for reading!!

Be blessed,
