Bailey and I

I spent the whole day with Bailey today. However, Brandon, Bailey and myself did all hang out together until Kindergarten, but then it felt like the only other face that I saw today was Bailey's. Bailey and I stayed around at kindergarten for quite sometime. It wasn't intentional it just evolved that way. Luckily I stayed because I saw Brandon get punched in the nose by another boy. I was standing right next to Brandon when it happened as was the other little boy's teacher's aide when completely unprovoked the other boy threw a punch. There was no apology, there was nothing, except Brandon's tears and my concern. I was so very glad that I had been there and had seen it. Although the other boy has just been assessed as a special needs kid it's still not good enough. I was pretty angry.

Bailey and I did finally leave and we just came home for the day.We played with trains and watched a Thomas DVD intermittently. I also made dinner for Bailey and then also for my husband and I. Brandon was already taken care of for dinner. The day worked really well. I chased Bailey around the house while he pelted around on his tricycle. I'm not sure whether it was because I spent the whole day up close and devoted to Bailey but he actually ate and ate. Normally he is not a big meal eater. He just likes to graze. Today though was a very different story. It really started at morning tea when all Bailey wanted to eat was a huge bowl of corn flakes. For lunch he again just kept eating, so much so that I actually had to tell him that we had to go and pick up Brandon so he needed to finish up. He just kept eating.

Once I had filled my car up with petrol we were right to pick up Brandon. Again, apparently, they had had a concert and Brandon had been the announcer for the show. Yesterday he'd been a performer. It started bucketing down rain at this stage, so the kids and I made a run for the car. Homeward we came. Brandon actually fell asleep in the car on the way home so I put him on the lounge to continue sleeping once we arrived home. He didn't really wake up until just before I took Bailey off to his swimming lessons. Brandon wasn't swimming tonight because he was taking daddy to a special Father's Day night at kindergarten where they were eating Pizza and having a great time.

Bailey did really well at swimming. I was very proud of him. It was so very different being at swimming and only having to look after 1 child. Usually my attention is split between 2 kids. The easiest part with just 1boy is getting them dried and dressed after their lesson. It's always a real juggle with 2 boys. Bailey and I came home just as Brandon and daddy were heading off to kindergarten for their Father's night. I served up dinner to Bailey only to see him eat and eat and eat. I have never seen him eat so much. For dinner he ate 1 big serving of homemade vegetarian lasagna then for dessert he ate 1/2 kilogram of fruit salad. I was astounded. Then he ate 2 tubs of yoghurt, of which meal that was I am not sure. It must have just been a continuation of dessert. That's why 48 hours after the food shopping was done we now have very little food left to get us through the week. Tomorrow I imagine I'm off to do some food shopping.

Brandon and my husband arrived home just as Bailey drifted off to sleep. Brandon wasn't so keen to surrender to sleep but eventually he did. I can't wait until Thursday morning when Brandon's not at kindergarten and I get to hang out with both of my boys. I can't wait.
