What my kids have been up to lately….
My daughter turned 4yrs old in July and still isn’t used to saying she’s four. She recently had her Wellness Visit and she weighs 40lbs (I believe) 40″ tall. They gave her 5 shots and will not need anymore until she’s 11 yo (I believe). Sheesh…I guess I should have wrote this info down…anywho…
She used to use the word “prettyful” instead of “beautiful” for a few months to describe things…but NOW she’s been calling everything “Beautiful” (emphasizing the ‘B’). She is also REALLY into dresses, necklaces and bracelets…OooH…bracelets. She wears them all at once TOO!
She was dressing herself, THEN Daddy started dressing her in her pj’s after showers and she didn’t want to dress herself anymore. NOW, I’ve put my foot down and Daddy makes her dress herself. Which NOW makes my life easier in the morning, because all I have to do is tell her to get dressed and she does.
She’s been wanting to walk to school all by herself like the ‘school age’ at her daycare/pre-school. And says she wants to be in Kindergarten.
My son turned 2 years old in May and has been thriving with his speech. At first I was a little worried, but all of a sudden he just started copying everything that his sister was saying and now I feel his is talking more than he should. It’s not a bad thing until he won’t stay quiet.
He is a very determined little boy and amazes me EVERY day with the words that come out of his mouth. He CAN say his name. AND it is the cutest thing EVER! I think it will be the last of the ‘firsts’ for awhile…
I am struggling now, more than ever with discipling and babying him. There are times where he is a bad boy and I discipline him AND then there are times where he wants to be held and treated like a baby. It’s hard to be consitant. I still want my baby, but I want him to grow up with discipline/structure.
I’ve been meaning to post about our Disneyland trip since we been back for a little over a month. I guess I’ve been ULTRA busy, not sure what…I guess taking care of the kids, editing photos, blogging, tweeting, entering giveaways, trying to promote my blog more, etc, etc, etc. I think housework fits in there somewhere. OH and my WONDERFUL Disney Blogger trip took presidence over my Disneyland post or any post for that mater….any day!
I have to tell ya, I really didnt’ want to come home. YES, I missed my kids and hubby BUT it was a blast!
After the blogger trip, I tried to come back a renewed/refreshed Mommy and not yell, discipline and say “no” as much. I tried to be more calm and just let a few things slide. I want to be the “fun” parent but also one that they respect. WELL, the new Mommy did not last long…I came back on Friday afternoon to one sicky little boy and a big boy. That was SWEET. but when you get another certain little girl involved.we.have.whining. UGH! Then the 2 kids whine.then my third whines. Seriously…I’ve had enough headaches in a day to last me a FEW months.
Shortly after I got home, we went over to my In-Laws to house/dog sit until Sunday. It was nice because they have a bigger house, but we had to be careful with the kids not touching & you know kid stuff. Overall it was nice to have them spread out. We also took them down to the park when it got dark and played. Something we can’t do because normally its TOO hot here.
Meanwhile, my son had pink eye from Thursday until Tuesday and went back to school on Wednesday ONLY to have his sister come down with pink eye on the same day he went back to school. We ended up curing my son with Cough/Mucus syrup and red eye drops….worked like a charm. SO we are working on his sister with the same remedy.
LUCKILY today is Thursday…almost typed Friday…and have one more day until the LONG holiday weekend. Not sure what we are going to do. I would LOVE to go camping. We aren’t camping people though. We don’t have equipment. We wouldn’t know where to go. The list goes on…SO I’m sure we’ll just hang around or go to my In-Laws and hang out and go swimming.
What are you doing this weekend? What have you been up to?
