I'm lucky that Tami likes to get out of the house with Mackinley and I on weekends so he can grab eye shadow and nail polish off shelves...I mean run around the aisles at Rite Aid! Now our Sunday morning routine is to hit up the Dollar Tree for another cheap copy of the paper and then off to get some deals at Rite Aid, Target and Safeway. We usually wait until Friday after work to go to Albertson's unless their are doubles coupons that expire before then. Our reasoning? The "good" Albertson's is about 20 minutes north of us and our favorite cashier works Friday nights.
Mackinley has been such a trooper the past week while I was sick. We didn't leave the house for almost 6 whole days and the poor kid had to play with me while I sat in a chair or on the couch for a few days. He must have known I was having a hard time because he took a nap everyday between 11:30 and noon for at least 2 hours. Today...today was a different story. He didn't nap until 3pm and he was just stirring, I hope he stays down for another hour or tonight will be no fun for anyone!
I thought we were on our way to some words but it seems like we are going backwards. Mackinley hasn't said chair or toys or signed "more" for like a week. I hope he just feels like he has mastered those skills and is moving on to the next, I read some kids like to do that. We have our next pedi appointment at the end of March...they wrote it down as today but they meant next month. Glad we called this morning to confirm, I would have been really irked if I had to drive downtown (with the freeway backed up due to a truck on fire) and paid for parking at the medical tower to just drive back home. I was really looking forward to talking with his pedi about his speech and finding out how much Mac has grown, his jeans are all the right length now so I'm sure he has grown over an inch since his 15 month appointment.
