Just before heading out to choir rehearsal, I couldn't find the main set of car keys. I had it this morning when I took Isaac to school. M couldn't find it when he went to pick up some pizza for dinner so I was the last person to use it. It turns out that it just fell off the counter into a box (hard to spot because the box was filled with a bunch of stuff like blankets, toys, clothes, bags, and mitts). Glad it turned up though. I was a bit worried that maybe I lost it at lunch (I took Isaac out for Pho and stopped by Value Village).
We got into our first pick for Isaac's preschool next year. I need to remember to pick up the registration package and pay the deposit fee. We're putting him in Salmonbellies. It focusses on phonetics. I like one of the instructors, but I didn't get a chance to meet the second one. The room is quite small, so that's another thing I worry a little about. I hope that he won't have too many problems in that class. Our second pick, Rainbow is the classroom next door to his current class. I still have a lot of doubts and I'm still not sure if we made the right choice for Isaac or not. [Picked up the form, still need to fill it out and submit it.]
There are other programs and preschools that run on other days, but I like having the option of possibly going to Strongstart or taking other classes in the morning. Even if Isaac does end up cutting his nap, I just don't think afternoon is a great time for him to be in a structured setting. If the weather is nice, he's better off going to a playground.
I am still considering trying to sign up for cooking class again, but at the moment, the idea of going to Kerrisdale on a Monday and have my choir rehearsals in the evening feels like too much for me on that day. I'm not sure if choir runs year round or if there's a summer break... but I will likely postpone cooking class for the summer since there aren't many other classes that I'm interested in.
My other to-do list items are to round up Isaac's library books and return some of them. I've been borrowing a bunch of them but over the last couple of weeks but have yet to return any books so they're piling up and getting lost in our bedroom. [Returned most of the books, borrowed 3 videos]
I'm still waiting for people to rsvp on Isaac's birthday invitations. So far we have 3 friends who plan to come. Hopefully more people will respond soon. [We are expecting 4 preschoolers, 1 toddler and 1 baby. Still awaiting replies from 9 more families.]
I need to see the doctor to see if he'll make a referral for Isaac. And I want to get some blood tests done for myself. It was too rushed to go today so the next chance I get to see the doctor I like at the clinic is Wednesday afternoon. Maybe I should take Isaac to the mall for lunch after preschool and get on the queue for a doctor's appointment before we eat. Wait times at the walk-in clinic are typically 45 min - 1.5 hours. My other chances are Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon, or Saturday morning. [Went to the clinic today-Thursday, and Dr. C. made the referral for Isaac and gave me my blood test requisition.]
We have a lunch date with a friend at Ikea on Friday. I think we're going to skip the VSO Tiny Tots Friday morning... but then again, it might be fun. They are focussing on speed: presto and largo with the theme: sailing on the musical seas. Maybe we can do both... 9am catch the sky train downtown, 10-10:45am concert, then rush to catch the sky train home - get home by about 11:45am and drive over to Ikea afterwards. Hmmm... timing is tight, but it is do-able. [Bought a ticket for me and Isaac to attend the concert tomorrow. We will rush back for lunch at Ikea.]
The other thing I'd like to remember is to pick up some garlic powder. I like to use it to season pork chops (with soy sauce) and sometimes I sprinkle it on steak... though we mostly just use the Montreal steak seasoning. [Got some garlic powder and pork chops on Wednesday.]
