What’s up with my kids, you ask

by

Okay, you probably didn’t and this update is more for my sake than yours but just humor me, k?

5 year old (The B Man)

*Learning to read

* Drawing up a storm, constantly making new pictures with his markers and they are GOOD drawings. Yesterday he blew me away with his rendition of Wall-E.

* Being helpful with the baby

* Coming home from school with stories from the playground.

* Dressing himself in the mornings

* Still loving peanut butter sandwiches and still won’t touch cheese unless it’s on pizza.

* Doing homework

* Asking for allowance so that he can save for his own puppy (yeah, we’ll see about that one!)


2 year old (Little G)

* Still wants to do everything for himself including fill his own drink cup and buckle himself into his carseat (this is why I have to plan to leave like 5 minutes earlier to anywhere than I normally would…)

* Absolutely NO interest in potty training

* Talking like crazy. A couple of the cutest things he says right now are “What you doing guys?” and “Here I are!” I know these are wrong but they’re so cute!

* Loving Sesame Street (especially Elmo of course)

* Eating tons of fruit. And is therefore QUITE regular (sorry if TMI).

* Likes to “read” his books himself

* Kinda hard to get down for naps & at night these days. Constantly asking to be snuggled at bedtime by saying, “Mommy, you snuggle me?” (yes, hard to resist)

3 and 1/2 week old (Baby K)

*Drinking lots of Mommy’s milk

* Sleeping alot

*Pooing and peeing quite a bit too (more TMI…)

*Spending a little more time awake during the day.

*Making many little squeaky and tiny grunty noises.

*Burping

*Is extremely soft and kissable

  1. Beautiful update! And… gorgeous picture! Look at your little girl being loved by her big brothers… lucky little darling she is! And such adorable boys!

  3. Aw, all three are adorable and these posts are so fun too look back on in a few years.

    I just started getting mine printed into books – I’ll do a post on it ASAP as there is 20% off sale!

  5. I loved Kindergarten…they learn so much!! Second grade is even more awesome…Ms. Priss is reading all by herself!! Love it!

    I saw B-man at lunch Friday! He was so sweet, sat quietly and ate all of his yummy lunch! I told him to give his new sister lots of hugs and kisses! 🙂

  6. I love this picture! It reminds me of why my baby was a baby. The amount of love the bigger girls wanted to hand out was sometimes overwhelming for the baby. Actually, things haven’t changed much in almost four years!

  7. Elaine, you win the Supermom award! But actually, a different award that is posted on my bliggedy blog today!

    I so enjoy reading these updates and catching a glimpse of your life—I don’t know how you do it!

  9. So great to read these updates, it sounds like all 3 of your kiddos are doing really well. Love that last photo of them together!
    Sorry for not commenting on all your posts lately, I’ve had trouble with your site (probably just my computer, I have trouble with Kami’s site too for some reason) … anyway, I do read all of them on Bloglines! 🙂

  11. I can SO relate to the 2-year old syndrome. Matty is driving me batty lately. Maybe I need to look at it from a different perspective? Like leaving 5 minutes earlier, in order to allow him to put himself in the car? I like the way you think. 🙂

    Baby K is so sweet looking! I can’t wait to have my soft, little, kissable, girl here!! 🙂

  20. I have been slacking in the blogging world so I’m a little behind but wanted to say Congrats on the birth of your sweet little girl.. What a great update you wrote here, all the kids are super cute and the boys look like they love there new little sister.

  21. I’m so glad you posted this.. I was just thinking about your little group earlier today since I’m behind on blogging. I’m so glad everything is going great! 🙂
