So many things have been happening in our lives that I just can't keep up with it all. Now that I am 16 weeks along with #4 I have been feeling like my old self and actually able to eat some stuff without forcing it down. I have been wanting to write down many times the things that have been taking place since my last post. SO if your reading this its just strictly for memories to the kids so I won't forget when they are adults themselves.
#2 told me the other day that he thinks "there is a boy baby in your belly" and #1 responds "well I agree its either a boy or a girl, isn't that right mom?" All I could do was smile and say "yup that's right its one or the other"
#1 is always dancing and putting on a show. She wants to do Irish dance and I really hope we can get her signed up soon. She even said she would dance instead of play ball. I love that she knows what she wants to do. We have also made an appointment for the meet and great with the Kindergarten for next month. She is really wanting to go to school instead of homeschooling and I have really prayed about it and feel that God is leading us in that direction to protect our mother/daughter relationship. I am not very patient at times with her and do not want to make learning a chore for her. I want her to love learning just as much as I did in school and also have an excellent relationship with me. So we will check it out and see. I'm excited about the fact that the kindergartners only go half a day and so we will start slow and see how it goes.
#2 is all boy! He is a football nut and is all the time wanting to play ball and tackle you. I have told him a number of times that he cannot put #3 in a headlock to get his toy back. OH! BOY! I love having a boy and seeing how different it is from my 4 nieces and my 2 daughters. I feel that he is going to be a very big sports player and loves anything that has a ball involved. Its great that even thought he is a sports fanatic he still loves to cuddle with Mom or Meme and is always there to respond with sympathy when someone is upset or hurt. I know that he is going to grow up to be a wonderful man.
#3 well she is a whole different story. She is always the first one to start singing and dancing when a song comes on its so cute! She is my climber and loves to run around without anything on. Just this weekend she learned to climb out of the pack-n-play and when we got home from Meme's the first thing she does is climb out of her crib. She isn't going to be 2 until June I thought surely we could wait until then to learn this skill, but nope all of my kids have done things early and #3 will not have it any other way then doing things for herself. She is very strong willed and loves to get her way. Her favorite thing to say is no but it comes out ugh-ugh. LOL! Man does she have this down. But as we are consistently not allowing her to get away with having tantrums she is really doing well and learning that she needs to follow the rules.
As for myself I am still learning how to manage and allowing God to teach me daily what I can do to lead my children to Him. I know that I am not perfect but do hope that I can build a trusting relationship with my kids that will allow them to feel security in our home and know that whatever happens we are always hear for them. I wish I could be super mom and do it all, but I will cherish everything that I can do and pray that God places people in our lives that fill the gaps that are there. With each passing moment I want to take in the memories of our children and remember that they are just that children! I want to take the time to sit and read books with them, let them help me clean even if it will take an extra 30 minutes to do it, or even bake food with the possibility that it wouldn't look as tasty if I had done it on my own. These are all things that will build memories and I want to allow them to be a part of my life in every way.
