April seemed like a busy month for us, I think mostly because Bradley was sick for so much of it. And life gets hectic when Bradley is sick because we have no back-up childcare options. So we alternate between one of us taking off of work.
One of several sick days at home. It started as a fever lasting about 4 days, then turned into a pretty bad asthma episode for a few days.
And one of several trips to the doctor.
Bradley's toys are Dunkin's toys
Batting lefty
We got Bradley some caterpillars and watched over a few weeks as they created their cocoons and then turned into butterflies! Here, we put the cocoons in the butterfly house, waiting for the fun part.
Crazy hat day at school
Then on Friday, it was Parade and Popsicle day at school
One of his preschool teachers, Ms Billie
Jumping in the foam pit at gymnastics
A beautiful day for the beach
We went to a 3rd birthday party at a karate studio (for the son of one of Adam's coworkers)
Practicing kicking and punching a "board"
And playing with his friend Mason
Another beautiful beach day
His second trip to the dentist was a great success! His teeth looked great and she was thrilled we had finally taken away the pacifier.
Super chill, watching Mickey on the TV in the ceiling while the hygienist cleaned his teeth
Learning about wild animals at school so he had his face painted like a zebra. He did not want me to take a picture of it at school.
Playing in the backyard
He found a lizard! Not nearly as many as in Florida but we still have a few outside here.
Bradley's first swimming lesson! We signed him up for lessons through the La Fitness right by our house so its super convenient. For now, he's getting a one-on-lesson with his teacher, Coach Alex. He jumped right in the water, not scared at all and is doing really well with putting his head underwater.
Yummy lunch after swimming
Sick again. More breathing treatments.
Another road race. This one supporting military families dealing with Autism. We both had a great race! Adam came in 2nd place in the 5K stroller division and I had a monster PR (personal record) in the 10K (6.2 miles). It was actually pretty chilly and rainy for the race which is definitely something we don't usually have to deal with but is nice running weather.
He loves that many races have bounce houses
And face painting
Making breakfast with Momma
Another fun swimming lesson. He's already able to float for 10 seconds on his back
When we can't think of anything else to do for a Sunday afternoon, we go to the San Diego Zoo.
And we watched a 4-D movie for the first time at the zoo. Bradley did not like this at all!
Tired from swimming and the zoo, he fell asleep in the car. One of the only ways to get him to nap on the weekends now.
