Since then life has pretty much gone back to the usual schedule of school Monday -Friday with the addition of dance class for Jocelyn Tuesday nights. During the day I am chasing after/ cleaning up after my two little Tasmanian Toddlers who get into everything.
Preston turned 14months on the 11th and has been discovering how fun it is to open and climb into drawers. Good thing I took Mom Yates advice and put my Tupperware lids in the bottom drawer. He has also learned how to walk and is now walking 85-90% of the time. Needless to say our house is covered with baby gates and shut doors in the attempt of controlling what he gets into now a days. He is such a sweetheart and loves to be held and cuddled. He is also finally sleeping through the night on a regular basis!
Our little Miss Cailtyn is as wild and cute as ever. She spends most of her day in and out of different Princess dresses. If she is not dancing (aka walking around in circles) she is singing with Jocelyn's toy guitar. She has managed to semi potty train herself, however we are not completely out of diapers but plan to be soon. She makes me smile everyday and her vocabulary is getting larger and more understandable.
Ethan is doing awesome in kindergarten. He had a rough week an little while ago and didn't want me to leave him. After a few days of tears and me having to leave while his teacher held him back I decided tough love was the way to go. I sat him down and told him if he couldn't be brave and go to class like a big boy he wasn't allowed to play on the wii when he got home from school. Well sure enough after one day of no wii, I had a big brave boy going to kindergarten everyday. He has been learning how to rhyme and letter sounds in class. He loves going to Library and bringing home books for me to read each week. Here is his school picture, he told me he was a little scared.. which explains his unsure smile. I just love my Ethan bud.
Jocelyn has definitely got into the swing of things at school. She was sent home with a note about talking in class and after the usual punishment and talk, she has been very well behaved for her teacher. She loves art and music class the most. We are continuing to work with her on reading and math which are the two areas she seems to struggle with at school. I believe most of her problem lies in fact that she doesn't take her time and tries to rush though it. She recently started dance classes at a local place in Logan, she goes one day a week and does ballet, tap, jazz and tumbling for an hour. Jocelyn is such an amazing helper to me and although she can be a bit of a drama queen at times she really does have a sweet spirit. Here is her school picture for this year, cute as ever.
Dave came home last weekend after deciding that he could sell just as well here as he was in Reno. Reno and San Diego had been rough on the whole office so I was on board to have him come home and work. He has 13 more sales to go before he hits 200 sales for the year and with his 30+ roll over sales from last year he is already hit an all time career goal for himself personally. We are so grateful for how hard he works to support us. He is such an amazing man and dad, some days I don't know how I was ever so blessed to have him be my eternal companion.
October is looking like it is going to be just as crazy so I will attempt to stay more up to date and take more photos.
