I did 30 on the X-trainer today. It felt pretty good. According to the little computer I went 2.6 miles and burned 380 calories.

My back and arms are a bit stiff today from carrying various children and yardwork so the workout was not that great. The Birthday party was a lot of fun. I think Owen had a great day! I do think that he is still processing being around that many people. He had a hard time going to sleep the last two nights and did not sleep that well at all last night. Hopefully that will settle down tonight.

Planned on 30 this morning but had to make a pit stop.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWEN!

I was a little tired this morning so I just did 20 minutes at level 2.

Used the other demo trainer today. It was much better. Feeling pretty good. Lots to do today.

I used one of the demo X-Trainers that the gym has today. I didn't care for it. The foot pads were too far apart for me. I did get a good workout though. It just wasn't as comfortable as the other X-trainers at the gym.

I think I am going to switch back to the X-Trainer for a while. I just don't seem to be into the running lately. So tomorrow I'm making the switch.

Bean spent her first night in her big girl bed last night. Yesterday when were where hanging some shelves and hooks and stuff in her room to make it "pretty" she said we could take her crib out. So we did. Nap time was a little rough because she kept coming downstairs. But last night she did very well. Hopefully that will keep up.

Just did the Bike today. Felt pretty good. Busy day lots to do!

GLT seemed to have dead air this morning until 5:30 so I got up late. Got to work and have been busy ever since. just waiting for quitting time now.

didn't really run much today. Had a few starts and stops but couldn't hit a stride.

Bean has been introducing us to "The Other Boys." They seem to be a mystical sect that lives under beds, in closets, between funiture and the wall, and in other strange places. We are not sure of what they do, however Cecilia has told us of some of their antics. Apparently the other boys are responsible for leaves coming off the trees in the fall. She explained it to me one day in the car this fall. It seems the trees are broken in the fall because the other boys climb the trees and pull all the leaves off. The other boys also need frequent changing and dressing.

There are names for some of these boys as well. There is purple boy, yellow boy, DawDay(sp?) and one refered to as mmmMM mmMMM MMmmm. They seem to be friendly too. They always have suckers to make us all happy. Last night one of the other boys even had cheese for everyone. Sometimes they are shy and just leave cookies in the closet for Bean to pass out to us.

It seems to be an interesting method that Cecilia has for processing new information. Every new thing she learns get's a thorough vetting through the other boys. Yesterday we were working on saying "Thank You" and "Your Welcome." Last night there was a "Thank You" boy and a "Your Welcome" boy. It's adorable.
