Turned 5 this month! She is reading at a level 2 almost 3. She is so excited to go to school next year and will be in the Spanish immersion program at Lincoln, which is our neighborhood school. She is my big helper with the boys and a little mama to her babies and Barbie's. She loves being social with her friends at the pool, park, and at our house with play dates and then loves to have alone time in her room. While in her room she loves to play Barbie's and play with her new baby Alyssa and with her new I-pad that she got for her Birthday. She is finally sleeping through the night and when she has trouble falling asleep she gets a melatonin. She just started a new phase of lying, its stupid what she chooses to lie over, but she is testing it out and learning that she gets in more trouble for lying than she does for doing the crime and paying for it then. She is still a rule follower and wants everyone to abide by the same rules. She is also still a perfectionist, which makes school fun for both of us. I will teach her something new and she will practice it on her own before we work on it together again. That way she has it perfect and we don't get frustrated at each other for her not feeling like it is perfect and me not caring that it is perfect!
Turned 3 in March and is blossoming! He asked Jesus in his heart on June 13. It is definitely a start for him as he doesn't understand everything, but the basics; he is a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross for him and that he is going to Heaven when he dies. Joya has told him for the last year and a half that he is not going to Heaven because he doesn't have Jesus in his heart. But now he does and Joya may be more excited than Timmy!haha Timmy has an amazing imagination! He plays everything from animals in crocodile creek to being super hero's to being Ken and playing Barbies with Joya (he would not be a girl doll, so Joya bought him a Ken doll so that they could play together). Timmy is attached to something new each week. This week it is Tang and Baby Tang in one hand and baby Sharkie in the other hand. We try to keep his obsessions to one hand but he loves to carry around little trinkets. He still naps almost every day but can go with out a nap if he has to. Him and Joya get a movie every Friday for rest time and then get to share a room on Friday nights. Lately it has also been sharing a bed too. Timmy is a little water dog too, he loves to play in the baby pool across the street. He will not go in the big pool but in the baby pool with go underwater, swim on his back, and stay in there for hours.
Turned 1 a couple of months ago! He wants to do everything Joya and Timmy do!! He is still napping 2x a day and is my best sleeper yet! He sleeps consistently from 8pm -6:30 am. He loves his milk and no longer wants me to cut his food up for him. However the Joya and Timmy have there food he wants his that way too. David is not talking other than "Mama" and "Dada". He does point and scream/grunt at what he wants. He does table signs for all done, more, milk, and please. He is a fearless kid that walks through the baby pool without holding my hands. He climbs up on everything possible and than can get down by himself if no one gets him down first! He has the greatest smile that can make everyone smile! He also has a hilarious belly laugh! He is a very friendly and loves his Daddy, and any other man figure in his life! He always chooses a man to a women if given the choice. Accept for me, he loves his mama and never wants me to leave!!
