Life with two kids



Life with two kids is great.

Update on "B"

B is seven months old now and he knows his name when you call it. He is getting into position to crawl, he can get up onto all fours and rock, but instead of moving he forms a butt pyramid. I think he might walk before crawl... or maybe crawl and then quickly learn to walk-- either way it's not far around the corner. He has two bottom teeth in and has four more coming in on the top. He loves his Cheerios and sweet potato puffs.... or anything that he can finger and feed himself. He currently is on a five foot barrier zone from strangers... his raspberries are shooting real spit now! Oh fun!!


Update on N

N is excited about school. I took her the other day for the first time. I have an agreement with the school to bring her in when I want until I enroll her. This way she can get used to the environment with me around and feel better about it with each visit. She was excited to see her elementary school has an indoor pool. Unfortunately only first grade on up use it not kindergarten.. but she will have something to look forward to next year. We won't be starting her until October, we are going on a trip in the end of Sept. and didn't want to start her and stop her... plus.. I wanted to give her more time to learn some language and feel better about interacting with other kids. Her interactions so far seem okay in some ways but she gets frustrated and Orphanage behaviors pop out.. possessiveness, nasty yelling, hitting..etc. It seems the more words she learns the happier she is interacting with other kids.


She will be in public school and yes... lucky for us..... she has a uniform policy to follow. And boy was this fun.. I tried every store in our area ( 45 minute radius) and couldn't find approved clothes, luckily I ran into a mother in one of the stores who told me about a website. So I ordered some clothes from there. I also bought her a clear backpack... no we don't live in the hood.. but you'd think we do when kids in kindergarten have to carry clear backpacks!!

The kids are so cute! B is getting so big and it looks like N is loving being a big sister. That is great she is so excited to start school.

That is seriously crazy! I was cracking up at the thought of Kindergartners having to have clear backpacks!

The kids are ADORABLE. Glad things are going well. :)

So cute. They look like the have been brother & sister forever.
Clear backpacks does seem a bit extreme for kindergarten.
