And eventually you'll find the other side!
Bear finally had a great doctor's visit and we don't have to go back for two years! Yes, this was a pretty insignificant specialist in the grade of Bear's issues however one less doctor is still ONE LESS DOCTOR!
Rain again. Rain tomorrow. Blech. I am so over it.
More frugal fun though!
Our edition of our library newspaper came out today and I signed us up for two music classes and one storytime. The other story time has it's registration closed for another month. So I will call back and schedule then.
The good thing about being "on the in" this time is that we can go to our local library only a few minutes away and the county library. We don't have to make the twenty minute drive to the one where did our last music class.
Hubs and I also joined the lake. Unfortunately we're out of county so it cost $5 more, but $30/person for the entire summer is well worth it. It costs $4/person each time to go. So we would have to go 8 times to make it worth it. Bear is still free. I don't know how much we will go but I figured having a pass would make me more likely to use it. We're already planning on going the day after Bear's party, obviously weather permitting. The good news is that there are two lakes and we can choose to go to either with our passes. And Bear has been in a few pools already and LOVES the water!

Free, Frugal Fun!
Now that Bear is 10 months old I've been trying to find new things for us to do. Generally, we just run errands either walking around Target or the grocery store.
However, when you're trying to stay on a budget and avoiding unneccesary purchases, this isn't the smartest thing to do. So I decided to do some research on things we can do.
There is a local Mom's group at a church however, it runs until May and it costs $20. So, it seems really expensive to pay $20 for 2 months. There is another Mom's group for the area and again, it costs $20 but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to something I have to PAY for. I was looking for things to do that were free, in case Bear has a total meltdown or just can't handle it.
I looked up things at our local library however they generally don't start until 2 years old. We live in a "township" of a town. Our mailing address is for the town, however we have a different school system and library. Then I realized that the town, which is about 8 miles away is the county seat so their library is MUCH larger than our little one. They have a 5 week story time for children 24 months and under. 2 of the weeks are already over, and we're going to miss one of the 3 left, but it's free and they had plenty of spots available. So in a few minutes, Bear and I will be heading out to the library for a fun story time.
The worst part of it all, he's been sleeping great and we've all even been sleeping in. Some days he's not even up till 8:30. I'm forseeing that I will be prepping things the night before.
Why do babies grow up so fast??
I've been looking through pictures for his 1st Birthday and it makes me cry everytime that he's not a little baby anymore. Where did this little baby go?
