Day 3 was a fun filled day. It started again way too early at 6am with my little man, doesn't he know that mommy doens't like getting up before 730am. Even though I had to get up so early this morning I was actually feeling pretty clear. This is a new feeling for me as for months now I have been in a fog all day everyday. I think this might be part of the reason S and I haven't been getting along too well. I feel like because I wake up in a fog I am incredibly impatient and unreasonable and resort to yelling way too quickly. This morning, I felt I had a bit more patients, a was a bit more reasonable and didn't yell most of the morning, except for when she hurt her brother.
For breakfast I again had two scrambled eggs with yellow pepper and shallot along with pepper and avocado. After I had half a grapefruit, yum!
We had lots of fun playing all morning. S has been really into colouring and puzzles lately. She's getting so good at both! She now can almost completely stay in the lines while colouring which I find incredible and some of her puzzles she can complete by herself.
When lunch rolled around I was feeling a little tired and uninspired. I found it difficult to make lunch, but I knew I needed to have a good lunch as we were heading out for the afternoon and wouldn't be eating dinner till 6ish. So I made myself what was left from the steak on Monday, yellow pepper, carrot, avocado and a little bit of smoked salmon with a large glass of water. It definitely did the trick as I wasn't hungry until about 530pm.
We met up with one of my good girlfriends SP who also has a little girl E. She's a couple months younger then M. She had invited us to a photo shoot at the YMCA, were she worked before E. They were doing a photo shoot for a new compaign and needed families with kids. It started slow as S had just woken up from sleeping in the car and she was feeling a bit hungry. She is normally very outgoing, friendly and NOT shy at all but when she is tired and hungry the opposite happens. She gets clingy and likes to play the shy game. So we left her to it to wake up and have some food and within 20 minutes she was hamming it up for the camera. M was loving have lots of kiddies his age to play with. They both had a great time and I got to visit with one of my BF's, so it was a great afternoon.
After we got back in the car and drove to my hubby's parents place. They live close to the YMCA and had invited us over for dinner. Knowing I was eating differently they totally accomodated me and everything was delicious. We started with a smoke salmon, cream cheese and cracker appy of which I only ate the smoked salmon. The salmon was caught by a friend of ours recently and smoked. It was AMAZING. Dinner was at 6pm. We had chicken, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. There was butter on the table but I avoided it and was content with a plain potato.
Once dinner finished S was on about going for a walk in the sunshine along the seawall. It was a gorgeous nite and we were definitely all up for a walk but we knew she was on a mission. She wanted an ice cream. So we walked to marble slab and she ordered a strawberry ice cream with sprinkles in a cone. She is amazing at how fast she can devour any food but when it's something she loves it's gone in seconds. After finishing hers, she was on about finishing her Meme's (grandma) ice cream which was chocolate and almond.
By this time it was 7pm and M was getting very tired as he was almost asleep in the stroller. I decided that as soon as we got back to their house we would be on our way home.
We got home by about 830pm. I put the kids straight to bed and curled up the couch to watch a movie and wait for my hubby to get home from work, which he did at 930pm.
Day 3 was a great day.
On to Day 4!
