Weekly review: Week ending June 10, 2016
Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly
It's interesting how the time averages out, even though the days are so fluid. I used my ~2h/day of discretionary time for reconnecting with former work colleagues, helping friends by watching their newborn, adding a new category to my tracker and visualizer, sewing a backup changing pad, and drawing in my journal.
Thrush reappeared a few days after the pediatrician gave us the all-clear, so we're doing another round of Nystatin. If that doesn't work, it's back to the doctor.
W- was curious about early potty introduction, so we're giving that a part-time try by offering the potty after A- wakes up from naps, if she's calm. Sometimes it works well. Neat!
A little shorter on sleep this week, but still okay. W-'s been working hard so that he can deliver a good chunk of work before going on parental leave. Looking forward to investing time into improving the house and streamlining our routines to make the coming years easier.
