Mid February Update

Seeing as how I have been seriously lazy in posting updates..I have a lot of catching up to do.

William- He can be my biggest helper and also biggest pain sometimes . Some days I don't know what to expect from him. School wise he is caught back up on reading where speech had us delayed and on math he is already starting the next grade level and more so I am having to scrap workbooks for harder ones and restructure what I wanted to get done for the year so he doesn't get bored or frustrated with the material.
                I've definitely depending on him heavily this pregnancy and he has become a great task master when it comes to getting chores done, everything but his room for some reason he can't see the cleaning process through without getting distracted and building something out of Legos. Recently it got to the point it was so bad Amelia who always keeps her room clean cleaned his room and got William's allowance . Well that was all it took for him to get his room in order and keep it in order .
               I love seeing him get excited over things, he loves to play this game where you can build rockets, and moon landers etc . Problem solving is definitely his strong suit . Always questioning and always trying to figure stuff out.

Amelia- She is still extremely frustrated at times with her schoolwork . Some days she will breeze through a whole workbook to get to the next one , and the some days she won't do a sheet. Her attention span waxes and wanes . I try not to let it frustrate me . I know she gets agitated because she is stuck between two boys. Both not wanting to play the same way she does and a lot of times Fred is just loud and bangs things around her room.  She gets things though and I'm trying to help her focus .
               This child never stops moving! Even in her sleep she is moving all the time. I have never seen anyone quite as active as she is. She is wanting to paint her room pink and get a princess computer with princess letters and princess paper to make princess everything . Pink is definitely the color of everything right now for her.
                 She is also constantly in a state of chatter and singing...but this has been going on since the day she was born.:p

Fred- still refuses to talk , much to my frustration...he now says NO when I ask him to...and will say NO when I ask him to do basic things. He finds it absolutely hilarious to be a mute. I wish he would talk and mute the whines and screams . It's more like living with a small dinosaur than a person. Very smart, agile, destructive, loud, and occasional bites you for no reason at all...

          He loves books and loves to read....he wakes up and the first thing he does is grab a book and force you to read it at the crack of dawn . He is constantly reading with his pad and doing puzzles...he most definitely understands everything around him including how to turn my wifi on to download new books ...yes he can and will figure out how to do those pesky in app purchases which lead to the direct removal of pretty much any app that had that option.

New bean- growing at an ever increasing rate, I'm still nauseated but gaining finally so I am now finally showing. She seems to like the hours of midnight to 2am...so much like me.

Kevin- has been a useful mammal so far , I might keep him around.

Me - being preggo means extra sleep but on meds for nausea I feel like I am sleeping my life away. I think if I could sleep 22 out of the 24 hr days I would be content to do so. I've been cleaning house and getting everything done. Getting on somewhat of a schedule so when the baby comes it will be easier to do everything that needs to be done.

        And now I'm tired again lol....so cutting this short...but I'll probably lay in bed for another hour awake lol.
Namaste ,
Elizabeth
