August 29, 2012 - High Chair Issues

So our wonderful Italian high chair (http://www.pegperegocanada.com/babyproducts-catalog/2012/PRIMA+PAPPA+DINER)  is in poor shape.  This chair was a gift for the Baby and we have only been using it heavily for the last 5 months.  The tray is bent and the food rolls away from the baby.  Also the plastic lining is torn in a few places.  I emailed the company and they informed me where to take it for service.  Today we dropped the chair off at a store in Etobicoke (http://www.minicircuit.ca/)  where they will hopefully repair the plastic (which should be covered by warrenty) and get me a new tray. 
The lady at the store noticed that the manufacture date on the chair does not match the date on my registration card.  She said that often people will return items to stores if they need repairs that are not included with the warrenty, in this case it is possible becasue the manufacture date has a difference of two years.  I am prepared to contact the store where the chair was purchased if the plastic lining is not covered becasue of the date discrepency.

On the other hand, the Baby is still cranky and in pain.  It is possible that he is now cutting his top two teeth, and those look a little painful.  We are still going strong with the breastfeeding, even though I am almost completely weaned from the Domperidone, tomorrow I start taking just one pill per day.  Without the help of the Domperidone I wouldn`t have been able to breastfeed for this long, and I am really grateful.

August 28, 2012 - Cooler Evening

Today we ran some errands and I got to mow the lawn and trim the edges. It was a beautiful day. After dinner the kids and I took a short walk to the park. I noticed that the street lights are on earlier now and that it is much cooler in the evening. It's sad to say that the summer is nearly over, but I really enjoyed being off with the kids even if they drove me nuts sometimes!

August 27, 2012 - Room Cleaning Day

Today I helped the kids clean their rooms. I spent a while with the Boy before the Baby woke from his nap. I knew I wouldn't get both their rooms cleaned in a day if I didn't have help. I bribed my parents to come over and watch the Baby with a chicken dinner. My Mom even helped out with the room cleaning by keeping them on track. They both get so distracted, room cleaning would be much less stressful for everyone if they could stick to the task at hand.

In the end we had a nice dinner and visit and the kids have clean rooms!
