Kay had a wonderful Halloween, starting the evening by Trick-or-Treating around our neighborhood. Dressed in her adorable kitty costume, she visited a few neighbors before getting a bit tired; her early bedtime still holds, and though I tried to stretch it a bit, after a few houses, she began asking to go home. Back…
Over the weekend, Kay and I celebrated one of her friends turning 4! The party was at Wally Wombats, Kay’s favorite indoor play place, where she spent the morning eating pizza, devouring homemade cupcakes, and having the best time running, climbing, jumping, and endlessly going down slides with her friends! It’s amazing to see…
Kay’s school held a Trunk or Treat, and I couldn’t wait to take her! We arrived about 30 minutes before the event started, and if you know toddlers, you know that arriving early can sometimes be a gamble! Thankfully, we were able to pass the time on the playground, which kept Kay happily entertained.…
Kay and I recently joined our first Music Makers session at GiGi’s Playhouse, and it was such a hit! The program is new, with only a few sessions so far, and I had a good feeling Kay would love it—she’s all about music! This week’s theme was Halloween, making it even more exciting. We…

Over the weekend, Kay played another game of T-ball, and this time they also took Fall Ball pictures! I was able to stand by as Kay posed in front of a backdrop, and I can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out. Eventually, they’ll create a personalized player card for Kay, which we’ll get…
Kay’s school recently hosted their Pre-K Fall Festival, and it was such a fun time with various games and activities. Kay even got to wear her costume! Initially, she wasn’t too sure about wearing it, even though she picked it out herself this year. Thankfully, once we arrived at school, her mood brightened, but we…
Kay recently caught her first cold since being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. While it wasn’t a major illness, I quickly realized how even a mild cold could impact her blood sugar. In the days leading up to her cold, her blood sugars were consistently high, and no matter what I tried, they wouldn’t come…
Saturday brought another exciting T-Ball game for Kay! Even though it’s still hot in Vegas, I’m hopeful the weather will start cooling down by next week—something I’m looking forward to! Kay loves playing T-Ball and being outdoors, but the heat can make it tough for everyone to fully enjoy. Thankfully, the league provides buddies, when…
