And so it goes…
March 3rd, 2010I keep intending to write regular blog posts and well…life gets in the way. However in the last week, I’ve come to my blog and checked my own archives for information twice. Yes…I’ve checked my blog for information on my own life. Seriously. My brain is still not back to normal.
And that really makes me want to keep up to date so if I need to know something in a year or two, I can check back.
So…here’s what’s going on around here:
- Garrett has lost 2 teeth. His two middle bottom teeth. And the permanent ones have already broken the skin. He’s doing great in kindergarten. He loves school. He’s reading really well and is always a bundle of information. He doesn’t miss much. We’re working on helping him control his emotions. He tends to explode at the slightest thing. So we scream back at him calmly explain that he needs to calm down and then he screams louder everything is fine. Honestly, it is getting better. We’ve instituted the system they use at school that lets them know where they stand based off of what color is on their card and that seems to be working really well. He is wonderful everywhere but home and his teachers think he’s near perfect, so the worst consequence for him is that we’ll call his teachers and tell them what is going on. That is the only consequence that gets his attention. I guess he likes his teachers. Good thing I do too!
- Gracie is a mess. She is so ready for summer, she dresses herself every morning in shorts, sundresses or a bathing suit. Even when it’s snowing outside. She is afraid to go #2 on the potty so she won’t even try and just holds it when I try to make encourage her. She can however, change her own diapers. I know…don’t even get me started. She loves to sing and dance and she LOVES princeses. She wants to be a princess when she grows up. When she’s not wearing summer clothes, she’s wearing a princess dress.
- Griffin is going to be an athlete. He is always carrying around a football. He throws it. With a spiral. He also shoots it into the basketball goal and hits it with a bat if you toss it to him. He loves to watch football and basketball on tv. One day he left the toy dept. at Target to go watch football on the tvs. Seriously. He is a cutie. He looks alot like Garrett did, except he has blue eyes.
That’s such a brief, shortened update. I could go on and on, which I’m sure is no surprise to the 4 of you that still read this blog, but, it’s time to go pick up Garrett from school!
