Day in the Life January 2008

Date	Milestone
January 1, 2009	Trey and Bella would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
January 2, 2009	Today was errand day! We went to the montly playdate with the Mom's Club of Turnersville. After that, it was off to Post Net, the Post Office, Kohls, Target and then to get the kids haircuts! We've been busy!
January 3, 2009	Uncle Bob came to visit today. Christina and doggie Rosie came too and it was very nice to meet them! Trey and Bella loved having another dog here!
January 5, 2009	Trey and Bella had Gymnastics today. There are several new kids in the class today so it was nice for them to meet some new friends.
January 6, 2009	Bella and Trey were very excited to go back to school today. Bella kept asking if Miss Carly was going to be there and Trey kept asking if Mrs. Brown was coming. LOL! Mrs. Brown told Mommy that Bella was a different kid today! She participated in all of the activities, where as, she usually goes to a stubbord part of the day, especially after Miss Carly leaves to go to her other classes. Trey sang the "fire truck" song for Mommy after school. Both kids took great naps today! Thank you pre-school!
January 7, 2009	The kids woke up early today and were ready to go to school! They are going to miss it next month when they go on break for 10 weeks!
January 8, 2009	Aunt Karen came over today. The kids were excited that Aunt Karen picked them up from school with Mommy. We hung out, played ang then went to Bella's dance class.
January 9, 2009	Trey and Bella picked Mom Mom and Pop Pop up at the airport today! (with Mommy of course). Then they spent the weekend with Mom Mom and Pop Pop while Mommy and Daddy went to Atlantic City!
January 12, 2009	Trey and Bella had fun at Gymnastics today. Miss Amber said that Bella is getting much braver. Trey has always been "brave" (aka dangerous!) Trey and Bella were diappointed that swim lessons were cancelled today. The pool wasn't warm enough.
January 13, 2009	Trey and Bella had school in the morning and then we went bowling with the kids from South Jersey Mothers of Multiples. The kids did great for the first hour and a half - then they crashed and were miserable! Note to Mommy - 2 hours of bowling is too much!
January 14, 2009	Happy Birthday Grandmom! We hope you had a great day! Trey and Bella hung out with Mommy today since Daddy was away for work. We had a great time and played lots of Bingo!
January 15, 2009	Miss Bella got in trouble today for running in school after being told not to. Poor kid is so overly sensitive that when Mommy asked her about it at home, she burst into tears! Mommy told her that is was okay and taht she is not in trouble, but that she has to listen to all of her teachers. She said okay and was much happier! Trey was a little devil at Bella's dance class today. He kept insisting that he was hungy (even though he had a snack before we went) because he knows the dry cleaners next door has candy! Miss Vanessa told Mommy that Bella is very well behaved in her dance class. She told me that Bella is one of the only girls who always sits correctly, waits for her turn and does what she's told. Yeah Bella!
January 16, 2009	Trey was doing a great job cleaning up at school when Mommy arrived today, so Mommy asked him why he doesn't like to clean up his toys at home. Its funny, Mrs. Brown said that Trey loves cleaning up at school. Yeah Trey! I told her he loves helping at home and doing things with Mommy like cooking and vaccuuming, but hates cleaning up his toys. Bella is the opposite and will readily clean up her toys but isn't really into helping Mommy with chores. Mrs. Brown told Mommy they are the complete opposite at school. Trey loves to clean up the toys and Bella doesn't! Funny, how they can be total opposite of their normal behavior in a different environment!
January 17, 2009	We had a very fun day today at 2 birthday parties!
January 18, 2009	We went to Aunt Dani and Uncle Bobby's house today to celebrate Grandmom's birthday. We had lots of fun!
January 19, 2009	Trey and Bella had fun at Gymnastics and then playgroup today! Then it was naptime and off to swimming lessons! The kids have really had Mommy laughing recently. Last week, Trey came into Mommy's room around 5am. Since it was so early, Mommy told him to go back to sleep. He slept there for a while. Around 7am, he started shaking Mommy. Mommy thought only a few minutes went by, so she told him to go back to sleep. Trey said, "Mommy, the sun is up. Its morning time! Get up! End of story - close the book!" Mommy could not stop laughing! Today, Trey was not listening and I told him he was going to go to time out if he didn't listen. Bella said, "Maybe we should give him away? I'll go ask Miss Liz if her needs any extra kids today!" Recently, Trey has been eating dinner, then getting up and immediately asking for a snack. Mommy and Daddy would rather Trey just eat more dinner. Tonight, Trey did a great job and even asked for a second helping of everything. He didn't finish the 2nd helping, but asked to be excused. While Mommy was doing the dishes, Trey came into the kitchen and said, "Mommy, I'm still hungry". Mommy told Trey that he could have more dinner - his plate was still on the table. Trey responded, "I'll wait till its in the trash" and walked out of the kitchen!
January 20, 2009	Bella isn't feeling well today, so Mommy kept her home from school today. Mommy thought Trey was going to upset that he was going to school and Bella wasn't. Trey was perfectly fine and Bella cried because she couldn't go to school!
January 22, 2009	Bella is feeling much better. We had a nice day today. The kids had school in the morning and Bella had dance class this evening.
January 23, 2009	Today is a beautiful day! The kids went to school in the moring and then we played outside for a few hours. The kids were super excited to be able to play in the yard, go for a walk and play on their swingset. After nap, we found out swimming lessons were cancelled (not sure why), so we went for a bike ride until dinner time!
January 24, 2009	Grandmom came over today and we all went to the casino for a night away! We did a little shopping and then went to dinner at The Melting Pot. The kids had a great time cooking their own food!
January 25, 2009	We went to the breakfast buffet today and then went swimming in the pool! Trey and Bella loved it, but the water was a bit cold. Then it was time to do crafts, play Disney Bingo, and then visit the candy store! Trey and Bella took a nap since they have little colds. Grandmom stayed for dinner when we got home. Trey had a rough start to his night. He has a little cough that is seeming to get worse at night.
January 26, 2009	Trey's cough seems to be almost gone. He has no fever or anything, and is running around like a little crazy man, so Mommy let him go to school.
January 27, 2009	Today is the last day of the semester for Trey and Bella! They were very happy going to school today. They both wanted to say Thank you to all of their teachers! They saw the play Noah's Ark at school today. They both said they liked it!
January 28, 2009	It snowed last night and all of the area school districts are closed today. Mommy didn't want to drive since it was bad enough for them to cancel school, so we decided not to go to Enzo and Bella's house for our scheduled play date. We were sad, but better safe then sorry.
January 29, 2009	It is a lot less icy out today which is nice! We stayed inside most of the day and cleaned. Then it was time for Bella's dance class.
January 30, 2009	Horray, Trey and Bella had swimming lessons today! It's about time they got the pool temperature and chemicals straightented out!
January 31, 2009	We went to John and Mary's house today to see all of their remodeling! Bella got car sick when we were almost there. Mommy pulled over to try to clean her up. She was a mess! Trey looked over at Bella, and got sick himself! Yuck!
