The update

First off I want to thank all of you for your comments and encouragement on my last post. I do appreciate your kind words, so thank you! We are all hanging in there. I'm kind of getting more used to feeling the way I do and know I just have to keep something in my stomach and lay down if I start to gag. I've learned which foods agree with me and which ones set off my nausea more so it's going well. But enough about me, let's get to the kids!

Bianca starts kindergarten in September. She's only going half day and it will be in the afternoons which is perfect for her. She may be unpleasantly surprised when she sees that her preschool friends are not at her new school but I'm sure she'll make new friends quickly. She's been playing so nicely on her own and is also playing more cooperatively with her friends when they come over. She's getting used to compromising and sharing. She's just started to say things like, "Girls play with these toys and boys play with these kinds". So she's been playing with her brothers bat cave less and her castle more. She's starting to want to wear more girly things and play with her baby dolls. She's been very helpful with her brother as well since I haven't been feeling super great she's done things like put on a certain tv show that he likes for him or gotten him a snack. I don't want her to do this all the time but I do think it's good for her to serve her brother once in a while. And I always make him tell her thank you.

Wyatt had a recent update but I don't think I've posted this picture before so.... Yeah he's wearing his sisters princess shoes. He was fascinated by these things and wore them more than she did the first day she got them. That is his "cheese" face. Wyatt has been talking about going to preschool (that's true, he talks about everything, all day!) but I'm not sure I'm going to put him in just yet. We still need to work on some aspects of potty training among other things. I do think he's ready in a lot of ways but there is a lot involved in the decision and when weighing the pros and cons I think he'll be at home another year. One funny thing that he does right now is how he refers to things in the past. He ALWAYS uses the words "last night". So for example the other day he said, "Last night when I went on splash mountain I got all wet." Which isn't even true because he never went on splash mountain, he was just copying what his sister said, but Bianca was really confused and gave him a hard time about the "last night" bit. I tried to explain to her that even if it was a month ago he describes it as last night. She was like, "whatever, little brothers are so weird." haha.

I mentioned in the last post that the kids have been cleaning up more around the house. Here is the proof! Check out that clean family room!

I was wondering where they had put everything that was on the floor and couches when I found this..... that is a picture of behind the couch. haha. Their way of cleaning. Works for me at the moment!
