However, this is a perfect time to try and catch up some more. So, let's seee....hmmm. The summer, the glorious fabulous summer we had this year! Started early and ended late - at least that is how I remember it. And even this Thanksgiving weekend, we will hit the 20's. Fabulous.
As I'm sure I have posted about this before, we are still hoping to sell our house. I can't count the many, many homes we have looked at in search of the one. Some have blown us away, and others we went running. But it doesn't seem there is one in particular that we love for every reason. And maybe we are just being too picky but when you have been through this before and now know what you want for years to come, it's hard not to be. And it seems our price point is getting higher and higher which scares me. But I'm still hoping to get more for less and will continue to search. But all this also means we actually need to get our home listed and I'm simply tired of talking about that. So much to do and really, so little time between work, the boys and just life. But we are getting there....slowly but surely.
Nicholas is now in grade one! Grade ONE. The year started off not so great. There is Ethan, the bully. Ethan that felt the need at the beginning of the year to bully my child...pick on my innocent, sweet boy. Okay, that is Mommy talking but really...
But we have spoke with Ms Skillen, Nicholas' teacher. She is fully aware of the situation and it's being monitored. The past couple weeks have definitely been better and Nicholas is coping far better and I think Ethan has backed off a little. It seems Ethan finds himself in hot water quite a bit at school altogether so hopefully, he is turning his attention to focusing on school instead of the other children.
I'm still amazed at how well Nicholas picks up what he's learning at school. He is a wonderful reader and is doing very, very well with Math. He is on the hunt for a trophy at the end of the year which he will get if he reads 1000 books by then! He is off and running with that!
Shane. Our rambunctious baby boy. Did I spell that right?? And did I say baby? Okay, okay....he turned three this past July 31st but always my baby. Both of them. As Moms, we all know that. I'm happy to say that Shane is now officially potty trained. In fact, if I'm feeling better this weekend, we will go shopping for big boy underwear. He is very pleased with himself and his accomplishments and seems to look forward to picking these out. Cute. High fives all around! (that is our thing with every potty move). We tried months ago to get him started and there was no....I mean ZERO interest in that. So, we stopped. We started up again full force about two months ago and he just went with it. And really, the only reason he is still in a pull-up is because I bought this huge box of them.
(shaney's 3rd birthday party - where they just came in from the rainy day playing - instead of cake, the kiddos made up their own sundaes on top a little chunk of cake - they loved it!)
