I made Saia his own facebook page a couple weeks ago. I think I decided to during a conversation with Chris about how some people do that for their kids. The idea was so that we could tag him in all of his adorable pictures. I also liked the idea because I could advertise what he’s been up to. I intentionally try not to talk about him too much on my FB. He may be a lot of my life, but a lot of the things we do together are pretty routine. Plus lately I’ve been avoiding my fb page in general, so.

I like how on his fb page I can refer to the things we do as super exciting… like going to see trains, going to Cherokee park, going to his cousin’s or uncle Chriss’. Or riding horses, going to his first circus, playing with Noodle at popo’s and nana’s. Saia’s got a pretty consistent routine. It’s fairly all over the place during the week, but consistent week to week. It’s actually changing a bit starting this week, because Jeff switched to first shift, M-F!!
Sunday: typically will be at home with me and Fejj. We’ve been spending as much time as possible in the backyard which is fenced in so he gets to do pretty much whatever he wants out there. We’ve got a toddler basketball set up, a little red toddler car, a sit-and-push toy, and a bunch of golf wiffle balls that he throws everywhere. Kasha is usually out there with us too.
Monday: with Daddy til he goes to work, then aunt Jamie’s until I come get him. He gets to play with his cousin Kamauri (2 ½ and loves Saia a ton) over there. Maurmaur also loves Thomas just like Saia. Daddy bowls Mondays so we’ve been spending a lot of Monday evenings at uncle Chriss’.
Tuesday: Daddy takes him to daycare then I pick him up.
Wednesday: with daddy until he goes to work, then Popo takes him to Green hill hippotherapy and his house until I get him. Starting in June, Saia will have daycare on Wednesday.
Thursday: Daddy takes him to daycare then I pick him up. Developmental interventionist and speech therapist come this day. Daddy bowls on Thursdays too, so we commonly look for a friend to visit on this evening. We’ve been visiting a friend of Chriss’ a lot lately who has a 6 year old girl that Saia loves to play with.
Friday: with daddy until he goes to work, and Popo comes to take him to his house. Saia loves my parents house- they are really attentive to what he wants over there (“attentive”), they have a great train set up he can play with, and they have a hyper little white dog. Popo often takes him on walks to parks or takes him to see a train.
Saturday: I want to sign Saia back up for swimming lessons. Those will be Saturday mornings. Last time we had them, Jeff never had a chance to go, but that should be different next time around (crazy). This is the day I’ll typically try to match my dad by taking saia around the neighborhood to swing, see trains, visit the parks, go out for lunch.
Me and lists. Sheesh…
Well I wanted to share some pictures, and I thought I’d advertise that he is sleeping in a big boy bed now. It’s pretty cute. We have to shut his door and wait for him to lay himself down, but he always does.
Potty training isn’t really happening. I’m still mostly focusing on getting him to talk about the potty (which he loves to do) and eventually telling us when he needs to do his business (which hasn’t happened yet).
He started saying I love you a month or two ago. This video is a pretty cute representation of his speaking skills right now.
