It's been awhile, and for that, I apologize. I've not had time to get a haircut or take a shower without a little boy at my feet lately, much less spend any length of time on the internet thinking coherently. Why, you ask? Because baseball season is in full swing. In case you're out of the loop, that means Josh and I are on completely opposite schedules. He's home while I'm at work, and I'm home while he's at work and the baseball field. It's my favorite time of the year. [Note sarcasm.]
So, since it's been 4 months since I've updated anything going on in our lives, I'll take this opportunity to do so. [If there's something that doesn't make sense, it's most likely due to interruptions of "Mom..what time is it? Mom...I need my shorts on! Mom...I need a drink!" etc. :) Just bare with me.]
Leyton is going to be 3 in just a few short weeks. It's hard to believe, isn't it? Well, it is for me. He's so on the go all the time...I wonder if he'll ever slow down. From the looks of it, I'm thinking not. He loves anything that has to do with running, throwing a ball, or racecars, and he loves to be outside. Before long, he'll be as brown as a biscuit. :)
Jada is already 6 months old! Half of a year! She's a crawling machine! She started army crawling at about 4 1/2 months and has been completely crawling for the last 3 weeks or so. She's fast, too! One second she's sitting innocently and the next second she's made her way over to the movie tower and pulled it over on herself. Leyton is always the first to scold her. He's pretty certain he's her boss.
Leyton is really starting to enjoy his little sister. I'm not sure how long this will last, but he always wants me to put her on the floor so he can play with her. They're so cute together, too. He puts all of her toys around her on the floor, but of course, she will crawl to find something of his that she'd much rather play with.
After looking around, we made the decision to put the kids in daycare. Leyton loves to play with other kids, so I knew he was going to love it! He can't wait until we go to church so he can "play with his friends". Friday we visited and he was so excited. As soon as I told him where we were going, he went running around the house saying, "I need my back pack...where's my back pack? I need my computer!" Yesterday was their first official day, and apparently, Leyton's a bully! Josh picked the kids up and was asking Leyton how his day was and he started off by saying he got in trouble. Josh asked him why and he said, "Me had to stand in the corner." After trying to pry it out of him, he finally told Josh that he hit a girl! Today, when I asked him about it, he told me she was trying to get on his scooter. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and won't be hitting kids anymore. That's definitely not the best start to daycare. I really think it will be good for him though. He needs the socialization. He's a little social butterfly. Hopefully he'll learn a few things in the process.
Well, I suppose I have spent enough time filling all [3] of you in on our lives. Hopefully I'll find time a little sooner to share some tidbits of our days. Have a great week!
