cough*cough*sniffle*sniffle

These past few weeks have been filled with inhalers, runny noses, fevers, doctor office visits, pulling all nighter's, driving all night to find medicine, sleeping in rocking chairs, sneezes *bless you*, lots of dirty snotty laundry, boogers and tears. But I'm (almost) happy to say its almost over. WHEW!

It all started back when Bryce was so kind and shared his new preschool germs with his baby sister. From there it went to Mom and Noah and Dad has been in the clear so far. But poor little Chloester didn't do so hot with her cold. She is still full of boogers and a semi mess but we will take that over what we had before. Mom is doing okay but would be much better if she wasn't sick at all ;)

I am so not ready for Fall/Winter season and all the little germs it brings

Preschool blues

So my over happy little 4 year who couldn't wait to start school is having a few problems. Any surprise that Bryce is the one giving me a hard time? I think he is just wired to be my "different" child. But it does (like always) break my heart into a million pieces. He doesn't like to play with the kids, he is always alone playing when I pick him up. When asked he says "Mom I just like my alone time" As most of you know that is NOT our Bryce.

Today just broke my heart, he was standing at the gate waiting for me trying not to cry. He wasn't doing a very good job as the tears started to fall. He was broken hearted because he wanted to have lunch at school. I tried my best to explain to him that we "Mom and Dad" needed to talk about it but today wasn't going to work. (as we all know staying longer means more money and that's slim pickings around here) Well the director already has a soft spot for Bryce and asked for me to pack his lunch Friday and we will see how it goes. Which means Daddy might be playing less golf then he would like.

The teachers keep telling me that he plays great with all the kids and he doing really well. While he still needs work on a few things they all say he is well above his learning curve so they have no worries about him. However his Mommy does so I will be volunteering at his school next week.

Mama Mama Mama

Thats right we have a talker!!!! And her 1st words are Mama!!! Im so over excited to hear my little girl say Mama, both boys said Dada first so this is a big deal around here. All day long its "mama mama mama" The best was when she woke up this morning stood up *yes she is standing now* and called for Mama. Melted my heart

So our little princess can now:
crawl
pull her self to stand on objects
laugh like crazy
pick food up to eat
talk


Where has 7 months gone?

Fall

Fall means the start of many things around this crazy house of ours. Fall means its time to dust of those jackets and make sure they still fit *sigh*, make sure you remember to BRING them with you every time you leave the house, remember your camera when going for a drive because you always find the prettiest fall tree when its at home, dig out those soccer cleats from the bottom of the closet because soccer is here, daily asthma meds and checking that you have a rescue inhaler with you AT ALL TIMES, flu shots, shorter days and longer nights, Halloween costumes and party planning, trick or treating is near, family photo shoots, leaves all over your lawn and a semi crazy husband feeling the need to pick up every leaf as it falls.

So I say bring it on we are ready for you fall :)
