Gwen can read. She blows us away with her reading and writing. We have been reading BoB books with her each night and she even read one to her class!!! There are times that she will look at the page, read to herself, then read out loud. It's amazing! She can also identify colors by their name and count well over 100. She is, and has been, ready for Kindergarten. She is above and beyond her classmates, which is always nice to hear. We were having problems with her behavior at home. I realized it was because Leo was constantly being celebrated for peeing on the potty or sleeping until the light was green. We weren't celebrating her like we should have been. Now we celebrate her just as much. She is keeping busy with Swimming and Cheer (which she loves).
Leo is starting to get ready to potty train. Let's just say Gwen was fully potty trained at 27 months. Leo is now 30 months and is starting to tell us when he has to go, or ask us to change his wet diaper. He even peed standing up at school. He wants to at home, but is too short since we have him use the regular toilets (I find the kid ones disgusting and unsanitary). I still want to give it a little more time, but the 3 Day Potty Training is in his future!!
Mike and I, are doing well. We have been doing Insanity for the past month (one more month to go). We have been going on some great dates and having fun. We found an amazing babysitter, who is in high school and so eager to watch the kids. It's great!!
For me it's been pretty tough work wise as well as some personal stuff (Leo's health issues and my mom needing a hysterectomy), but I am managing. I need a break and will hopefully get one when I head to NY, with Gwen, to help my mom/dad after my mom's surgery.
That's the update for now. Here's hoping for a less stressful time for us in the coming months!
