Summer is done

Well the weather may not say that the summer is over but it is as far as the free time we have left. Caelum started second grade lase Wednesday and so far he is loving it! His teacher is Miss Bair and she is new to Wilson this year. She seems really nice and I hope that Caelum enjoys this year as much as he has enjoyed his previous years in school. So far he has only had one accident at school this year which I am very pleased with. I wish that I could see the light at the end of the tunnel with this problem. His constipation problems are only part of the problem it is his remembering to go and not holding it which I think is really the root of the problem. We have started using a kitchen timer that goes off every hour and he is supposed to go in and sit on the toilet. If he actually does what he is supposed to it works out pretty well, but a lot of time he wants to be too quick and just go in and doesn't sit to have a BM and that is when he ends up having problems. This I think is worse than potty training and it sometimes beings me to tears because I can't fix his problem and I don't think that others who haven't had to deal with this problem understand how difficult it is and I really hate the your a bad mom looks or the not so helpful maybe if you do this comments from someone who thinks it is as easy as potty training a child which it isn't. Sorry for the little rant but I really wish i knew more people who had this problem with their kids so that I can really find out what helps and good tips from parents who have been there. It is a really common problem amongst kids but I am surprised that I don't meet people very often who have to deal with these issues.
Tavin Started Kindergarten on Tuesday and he loves it so far. He had a water and sand party at school today and he was so excited to have it. He already it pretty good at math which is a great bonus and I hope that he can get better and recognizing his letters and get some reading practice in soon. Tavin is so full of energy all day long and it is wonderful when he gets home from school because he actually is a bit more mellow which still means he is a normal kid hyper but for him it is mellow and wonderful for me. I need to buy some serenity from doterra because it helps his a ton with his concentration and his extreme hyperactivity. Tavin has been big on wanting to buy a house and every time he sees one that is for sale he says I want that one. He also told Steve yesterday that he should get a truck and it needs to have 2 rows so we can all fit in it at once. He also tells me every time he gets into the car that we need to get a van or an SUV with three rows so that he can have more room.
Jessery is a stay at home girl right now. She misses her brothers when we take them to school, but she does like having mom and dad to herself for a few hours. Jessery can be so bossy at times like she is already a teenager sometimes it is cute but it really bugs her brothers. Jessery all of a sudden grew and inch and lost some of her baby fat and her face got longer it is kinda sad my little princess is getting so old. Jessery is still into anything girlie and insists that she needs a little sister so she can do her hair and her nails and make her all pretty like her. I have to laugh so hard at what she says sometime. The other day we got her a new dress and she thought it was blue and I said it wasn't so she said she thought it was green and I told her it wasn't and that is was turquoise and she just smiled. About a week later she asked me if she could wear her new turquboys dress. I was laughing so hard, I love how kids interpret things that we say.
Steve just had his 28th birthday and I felt so bad that he had to work on his birthday but such is the life of an adult. Steve has been an interim TA for a few months now which for the pay is great but he works some really crappy hours as of late. I work at the kids klub still once a week for free gym membership and I also get the privilege of watching Lyla a couple times a weeks to help Shane out so that he can focus on work and not worry about daycare. I really love being a stay at home mom right now. I am so happy that i can spend this time with the kids and I am a little bummed that I missed 2 years of it while going to school, but I am really glad that I have a degree under my belt and I can show my kids that anything is possible and it is great to finish a task that you start no matter how difficult it becomes. I have been working on eating healthier and I have lost a whopping 11 pounds. Not very noticeable and no where near what I need to lose but I am on my way to being a much healthier me.
