and there will be a big gap where two front teeth used to be. Both of Trey's top front teeth are loose so mommy is snapping pictures of my little boy while he still has his teeth:). Trey turns 8 yrs old on Friday, my how time flies! He has been counting down the days till his birthday ever since Christmas. He is SO excited for tommorow to come so that he can say "tommorow is my birthday".
Avery has had some really rough nights the last couple of nights with her asthma. The night before last i finally went in after CONSTANT coughing for a period of time and she was just laying there wide awake. I said Avery do you need a treatment and she said "yes, i've been awake forever", this was 4 in the morning. Then last night Johnny gave her a treatment before bed and i was still up at 3 with her for another one. She was really panicking last night and said "i felt like i was having a heart attack mommy" :) She immediately feels better with a breathing treatment and goes right to sleep then. She doesn't usually have this much trouble at this time of year, i don't know why she is right now. Poor thing said on the way to school "i don't like my body because i have owies (what she calls her exzema) allergies and asthma" That of course made me feel really bad but i told her she handled it all like such a big girl and that it made her very special and she just grinned at me. She was so excited to go back to school today, she said she almost for got what her teacher looked like.
Ethan would like to think he's a big boy these days. He thought he was pretty big stuff sitting at the table with sissy eating donuts. He is keeping us extremely busy these days. He sees Trey and Avery draw alot and has become obsessed with writing. I will take a picture of his canvases of choice one of these days. The toilet lid, several walls around the house and ALWAYS his feet. Today i caught him with a permanent marker but caught him before he did any damage. He just colored my calculator a little. He doesn't like mommy to go bye bye and starts clinging to me and crying as soon as he sees me start to put my work clothes on. He is starting to cut out one of his naps but naps really good when he does. I'm going to have to readjust everything once school starts again. He can get anywhere these days...we found him on top of the kitchen table yesterday. He also likes to hide in daddy and mommy's closet. His two latest accomplishments are...taking something to the trash when you tell him to and then waiting for your applause, and picking up his toys and putting them in his basket ( still working on this but he will put a few away). Anyway thats a little what's happening in the life of our little man at 14 and half months.
The kids have been wanting piggy back rides to bed at bedtime lately. Daddy has to carry Trey because he is getting a little too heavy for mommy!
Hope you all have a very Happy New Year! We have had a very lazy relaxing day at home today. The kids didn't make it to midnight last night. They were trying to stay up but when i got home at 11:15 from work they were all sacked out, so we had a very uneventful New Year's Eve. The kids don't go back to school until next Monday, for which they are both very anxious for(i know those days will come to an end soon!). So we have one more week of lazy mornings and then back to our school schedule. Hope your families have a very Happy New Year!
Yes, if everything goes well, we will be having a new addition to our family in August. We shared the news with family over Christmas by Ethan wearing his shirt we made him. Trey and Avery are thrilled and Avery reminds me every day that we need to be praying that it's a girl. Trey actually wants a girl too because he said "it would be fair then". Trey and Avery are 24 months apart and Ethan and this one will be 22 months apart, so almost the same. We are very happy and excited that God has blessed us with another pregnancy, and praying that everything goes well with this pregnancy!
We have been hit by the sick bug again and this time it's Ethan. He woke up this morning with a fever and cough and has had a 102 fever on and off all day. I went in to check on him at 11 and he was just laying there in his crib. He was burning up again so i got him up and gave him some motrin and tried to get him to drink something. He pushes the cup away and pushes his bottle away (which tells me he's feeling really crummy cause he loves his bottle). I got him to eat some jello finally. Poor little guy is very lethargic, he just wants to be cuddled. Hopefully the we are rid of the sick bug by Christmas!
Trey begged me to order the book "Eragon" from his weekly scholastic book order at school, so i did and he got it yesterday. I couldn't tell in the magazine that it was a 500 page book! He has been reading ever since, he has his bookmark and pencil to mark where he leaves off the time before. He struggled in kindergarten and his teacher tutored him after school, so we were worried that he was going to struggle through school, but he has taken off and doing great. He does struggle with math (i think he has his mother's math brain), so daddy does all the math homework with him and mommy does the spelling and reading. He is on page 23 in his big book, so he has lot's of reading to do!
Ethan has gotten very used to getting bundled up three times a day to go back and forth to school. The first hat i got him he HATED and would figure out a way to get it off. This hat he doesn't mind at all and never tries to take it off even in the van.
