Playdates

Finding time for play-dates is difficult for us. With the majority of my friends being shift-workers too, and me being full time, I find it is hard to arrange a time to meet up.

Yesterday, we were fortunate enough to be able to be outside enjoying the hot sun while having a play date with two sweet girls and their mamas (both of which also do shift work). These girls are just the cutest together! I'm hoping there will be many more outdoor summer fun with these ladies.

Today, while its not so hot out; in fact, its raining again today, we were able to get a morning indoor play-date in with another friend of ours. It would have been nice to be able to get outside, but I know there will be many more chances for that this summer!

I find that with Palmer going to the day home most days, she is very easy going. She knows how to share and play with other kids. She's not too shy and warms up to people quite quickly. I think interaction with the other kids there has had a huge impact on her. Its' nice that she has interaction with kids of various ages and I find Palmer plays so well with other kids (except yesterday when she pushed Little S! Sorry! ). allowing Palmer to be social with other children will help her so much as she grows. It's so important for kids to interact with other kids, that's why I'm grateful for the little friends Palmer has. Although getting together and making plans can be challenging at times, the outcome is so worth it. Watching Palmer play with her little girlfriends (and the handful of boyfriends) just melts my heart!!!

Spray Park Fun

Our friends Tawnya and Scarlett invited us for an afternoon at the spray park. It was Palmer's first time. I think she enjoyed it! :)

Gorgeous little eyes!

What We Did Wednesday (Tuesday Edition)

Ok, so I know it’s Wednesday – but we don't really have too much exciting news to share for Wednesday (so far), so I’m telling you about Tuesday.

Tuesday morning, we had another appointment with the Craniosacral Therapist. She says things are feeling pretty good. She told us that the tissues in Palmer’s head and neck are feeling much less tense and that she is very optimistic for a good outcome. I have certainly noticed a difference in Palmer’s neck range of motion since we have been doing the CST! Now, all we have to do is wait for her little head to grow.  Actually, the neighbor across the street told us her little guy had Plagiocephaly when he was young, and they did all the physio, etc and his head ended up correcting itself without a helmet. I’m hoping Palmer’s will do the same. We are heading up to Calgary next Wednesday to see the Cranio-Facial specialist at Alberta Children’s Hospital to get his opinion then make our final decision from there as to whether or not we will be getting a helmet.

Tuesday afternoon, Palmer and I met up with some friends at Henderson pool. Palmer had such a good time. This was the first time she was actually kicking and splashing around in the water. It’s so cute to watch! After swimming, Palmer and Scarlett played for a while; they are such cute little buddies.

But, swimming, sunshine, and a grand total of 30 min of nap during the day made Palmer one tired, grumpy little girl. Palmer fell asleep the minute she got in her car seat.

Tired little girl

 We went and had the rare weekday supper with daddy at his work and once again, the minute she got back into the car seat, she was sleeping. We got home and took leaf for a walk – she slept the whole time. We got home, and I changed her into her jammies, still sleeping!  Poor little girl was just drained!!!

Tuckered out

Goodnight!
